    He had everything but a chin...

    Angel Manfredy...

    what do ya'll think ?

    He had very good boxing skills. He had decent power. He was marketable. He had tremendous heart. He had good sportsmanship. He would never quit...but his chin was fragile. If he could only take a punch? Not saying he would have been an all time great but he probably would have been close to the top if had a better beard.

    He beat Gatti, and few other contenders but aside from the chin, i don't think he had that great of power he had pop in his hands but it was at best average power. One thing i've always like about Manfredy is his fighting style, he had a nice boxing style and put some awsome combinations together when he was in his prime.

      Forgot to add he beat Gatti who should have had his belt on the line but didn't, if not Manfredy would have been world champion, but he did beat the world champion just didn't get a title.

        he was never a 1 punch KO guy but when he put em together he had some finishing power. His boxing skills were underrated. He had good mobility and rythym.

            i dont know why my posts keep duplicating. My bad. ANyways, i guess after beating Gatti he got overconfident and then stepped in with Mayweather and got beat soundly and quickly.

                  Chris Webber beating Manfredy awhile back - Webber was the Jack Lamotta of our time but he wasn't great and didn't have the granite chin Lamotta did, but if you know who Webber is then you'd aggree the guy fights like a throw back brawler.

                  I think Manfredy is retired now. But still young to make a comback.

                    gatti was a champion at 130 and 140. they fought at 135. gatti's title wasnt on the line cuz he wasnt the champ at 135.
