he is an exciting, fast and a dynamic puncher who brings alot of drama to the sport but i honestly think his achievements (much like DLHS ) are dramatically blown out of proportion
I give manny his due for smashing top guys @ flyweight and bantam weight..but He gets WAY to much credit for beating the following...
*Erik Morales- Erik had all ready been through war with Barrera 3xs, Chi,Chavez, Hernandez, and the Pocket rocket. He was considered shot already and dead meat when he was matched against pac the first time. He was the underdog coming into the fight and put an ass whooping on manny. Manny came back and ko'd him twice but so what thats what he was suppose to do the first time. Manny showed in that fight that he can not fight going backwards worth ****.
*Juan Manuel Marquez- I dont care what the score card or official tally is. Out of the 24 rounds they fought JMM easily won 16 of those. Manny has every physical advantage over JMM but still gets countered like silly and beaten to the punch by a fighter who is 36 and alot slower. I honestly believe in both encounters that JMM beat him.
* David Diaz- Him lets see jump up to 135 and face either marquez, cassamayor, campbell, katsidis, or Juan diaz...Nope ill fight the bob arum promoted sitting duck known as david diaz. Of course manny looked good @ his only fight @ 135. David Diaz cant crack worth a damn, has slow feet and horrible form . Easy Pickings, He gets no love for fighting the weakest belt holder in the division.
*Oscar- You want me to give you love for beating a guy who has fought once a year for the last 5 years, hasnt beat a top level fighter since Vargas in 04, and hasnt been a welterweight since 2001? give me a ****ing break.
Hatton like pac is a nice guy but living off of tainted achievements in my eyes.
Kostya- Old and coming of a long layoff.. He was faded when ricky fought him and even then he had to wrestle and slug it out for 12 rounds...and it was still a close fight.
Malinagi- The kid is only good at talking and looking like one of the growing up Gotti boys. He couldnt crack a good damn egg with those hands and had no chance of hurting ricky at all.
Castillo- Great lil man who gave mayweather fits, but destroyed himself by starving to make lightweight all those years and fighting Chico twice. he had never fought at light welter before and looked like death just climbing into the ring that night. No **** a body shot is gonna put him out..the man was a corpse.
I can see pac stopping him on cuts and or ko'ing him late..But i think you are all underestimating Hattons foot work and physical power. If he can get in close, tie up manny and back him up to the ropes to set him up for the hooks to the body i think we can see an interesting dynamic. Knowing hatton its going to be a John Ruiz ugly hug fest.
