Say what you will about Manny, but he fights very clean

[dibzvincent143]

He's not one to use elbows or excessive clinching like a lot of fighters who actually incorporate illegal tactics into their style. He roughs guys up the right way (by landing a culmination of clean punches).

Yup salute to that. no excessive clinch no lowblows no headbutt highlights no sucker punch no holding the other arms, 8 divisions 20 years he knows about those things of course but never wanted to try it out.
If you cant respect that youre on a diff level.

He hit marquez while he was down.

Which is not a good thing for a boxer. You want to be a boxer, mold yourself after Duran. Has anybody ever fouled Duran?

If they did foul Duran there would be hell to pay.

Rumour has it, a guy once fouled Duran...and had to eventually become transsexual.

You are right! Manny has fought clean since 2009 when Floyd Mayweather asked for random drug testing. He has fought so clean, in fact, that he has not had a knockout since the drug testing idea was mentioned.

It's a shame he never learned how to fight inside, he would've been a more complete fighter and he would've stayed prime longer. That's where Horn was doing most of the damage, headbutting aside. Let's face it, headbutting is natural when it's a southpaw vs orthodox fighter, it happens a lot. You have be able to mitigate that with effective inside fighting and good blocking. They were unintentionally headbutting eachother, but I agree Horn did it more, but I saw one clash of heads where Pac unintentionally rammed his head into Horn's.

I'm pretty sure I saw him deliberately headbutt Horn at one point, but yeah he generally fights within the rules.

Except when he stepped on pacquiaos foot, marquez is also a really clean fighter. He never clinches and just returns fire with more fire.

yeah I forgot JMM. never seen him use dirty tactics. goes to show how great that guy is.

Very very true but when the referee is not doing anything, then you have to take matters into your own hands. We've seen this against JMM, Morales and most recently Horn.

But hey, its what makes him such a joy to watch.
