He obviously had plenty of good wins at multiple weights, but let's look at these massive career pitfalls. When he was 11-0 and in his prime, he was KO'd by a very poor fighter called
Rustico Torrecampo (Ended career 15-8-6) Why did Manny never seek a rematch? Had he just met his match in Torrecampo? In the same way he did with JMM?
Regardless of his 2-1-1 record against Marquez, anyone who knows anything about boxing knows that he lost all four of those fights convincingly. 0-4 was the reality. He was also shutout 12-0 by a completely finished Floyd Mayweather, with Manny being the younger man and 98% as good as he ever was. He is still in my top 50 ATG. But many of his fans still think he's like an ATG top 5 or so, no way.
