I agree. Perhaps an important factor is the possibility of an ideal slow-twitch muscle to fast-twitch muscle ratio that Manny has been blessed with. These two muscle types both have their pros and cons - knowing the ideal ratio that negates or lessens the cons to a significant extent will be good for science!

Keith brings nothing to this dance Manny hasn't seen before twice over. Thurman never improved enough to suggest her can beat this caliber a fighter.
