    New trainer coming from close to his biggest loss, thoughts of suicide a cocaine habit and his married life in shambles, yeah his best weight lol.

    Like Ive always said in here you boys can only see whats right in front of your face, what leads up to a fight and what contributes greatly to the result youre oblivious too.

      Pac would still KO Hatton on the best night of Ricky's life.

          It was his 130-150 run.. 2006-2010


          Young manny was very raw and sloppy, but had good natural fighter instincts and mentality, and also good handspeed and power. Manny basically got by with fighting spirit,speed and power. But lack of technique and overall sloppiness did get him knocked out a few times early. Good enough power and spirit to score upset knockouts for 108 title.

          Once manny got stateside with Freddie roach circa 2000/01, manny gained some technique and became sharper but was still a really limited fighter, just a jab, jab, straight left type fighter. But he had a great jab, jab, straight left and he threw it constantly averaging 100 punches a round.

          Many felt Barrera would expose manny as being one dimensional, but couldn't stand up to the fury of the jabs and straight lefts.
          Marquez was the first guy to get wrecked by manny but survive and actually did expose manny's limited style.

          Afterwards, this is when roach and manny kept hyping they were turning manny into a more versatile, 2-handed fighter for his 130 clash with morales. "Manila Ice" was supposed to be this new right hook punch for manny that was devastating.
          But morales took manny's best shots, smiled, and turned it into a war, and manny quickly abandoned new style and resorted back to his style in Barrera fight, but unlike Barrera and Marquez, morales could take manny's power shots and not get dropped. Morales having the better technique, outboxed manny to a grueling decision.

          This is when a lightbulb went off in manny's head, as the Marquez and morales fights had proven to him that at the world class elite level, these dudes are incredibly hard to stop, so he needed to listen to Freddie and really use his speed and power to box guys setting up the power shots, instead of just being a buzzsaw of straight lefts.

          Morales 2
          Morales 3
          Marquez 2
          Barrera 2
          De la Hoya
          Hatton
          Cotto
          Clottey
          Margarito


          That run was manny's peak, where his physical prime intersected with experience, technique, skills

            Hatton. Which makes his one armed victory​ over Mayweather even more astonishing that it was FAR from his best night

              I think it was the Pac that fought Hatton. What do you think?
              Nope

              Margarito

              That was impressive whooping

              But toe to toe with such a big man took a toll on him

              It was downhill from there imo

                Manny's Prime was from Barrera to Cotto. Even though he lost and drew in that stretch he was a special fighter. I think his stand out fights were Barrera, Oscar, Hatton and Cotto. He was amazing. I certainly hope it was all legit because once the thought was floated that he was juicing, he was never the same starting with the Clottey fight.

                  TMZ, wow what a credible source.

                  Filipinos don't eat dogs, just to educate you.

                      Pacquiao was already on the decline in that fight.
