    Manny's skills?

    I was thinking about Manny and how he fights and the props he gets. I feel like fighters that have fought manny before doesn't really wanna give him the full credit that he deserve and part of me feel its because of pac's sloppiness? To me a lot of fighters doesn't want to admit that pac is great or so because then it will kinda make them look foolish because they lost to a sloppy type fighter.

    A lot of time when a fighter is being asked who is the tougher fighter between manny and another boxer that he has fought, a lot of time that fighter will not say manny even though manny busted his eyes, put him down 2 times then evenually knock him out. but when asked about it that fighter will pick the other boxer as the tougher opponent even though he went the full 12 rounds with that fighter and came out barely unscratch. and i feel its because he doesnt want to admit that he lost to a sloppy fighter. Your thoughts on this?

    Who the hell would say that Manny was a Sloppy fighter?!! WTF?!! He's an 8 division champion that went through great fighters like Ledwaba, Barrera, Morales, Marquez, Dela Hoya, Hatton, Cotto, Mosley and just recently Bradley...
    Manny is not your typical fighter that is either a Boxer or a Slugger, he is in a different mold all in all, he uses a different footwork that compliments his hand speed and throws at awkward angles but still gives meaningful punches... Manny's movement is not sloppy, it's different and awkward but it's actually deliverate and effective... Not long ago the great Ali was also being criticized for doing it all wrong inside the ring, moving in with his hands down, staying far too much against the rope and would almost always let his opponent punch it out on him in hopes of tiring them all out way before the championship rounds... And now Ali is considered as the G.O.A.T. by majority of boxing experts...

      His power has been on the decline, we all know that.. It does seems that the pac man is able to transit into a boxer puncher better than what gatti tried to do later in his career under mcgirt.

        I'm not saying manny is this sloppy out of character type of fighter, but he does get sloppy at times. When comparing him to some of the better skill boxers he does seem a little wild. This is what i meant by other fighters not wanting to admit that pac was their toughest opponent. It's like they rather pick the other skill boxer over manny just so that it will make their lost less meaningful because this way that fighter can say well i lost to a very skill boxer.

          He has gotten sloppy in fights plenty of times. Calm down.

            He "sloppied" his way through 8 divisions. Yeah. I'd rather be sloppy too and be on the same route. Earn millions and get ducked by the self proclaimed TBE.

              What eight divisions? like his title in the Jr. Middleweight? Any self respecting boxer would have dumped the belt in a waste basket where it belongs. Two welters fighting for a Jr middle title in a catch weight of 150 lbs? He is just too dumb to know that the WBC only wanted the sanctioning fees.

              And yes, he had been sloppy so many times. One time he did, he ended up sleeping in the canvas and Boboy had to use ammonia to wake him up.

                OR...maybe thats what they believe. They actually BOX for a living, or maybe you believe some internet trolls who never boxed in their life. I personally would believe those that ACTUALLY BOXED HIM

                  Manny has always been the aggressor, through his volume he is prone to make errors, but his boxing skills have always been extremely underrated to me
