Manny-
8 weight division champion- well documented dont need to list a bunch a ****. I am sure you'll nitpick Marg win, still 7. how many does Floyd have again?
5 lineal championships. the first to do this!
also, in the orignial 8 "glamour weight divisions". Manny is the first boxer to hold 4 of the 8. to put into perspective Henry Armstrong has 3.
The only 4 decade champion.
The oldest WW champion.
Ring fighter of the year- 06, 08, and 09.
There are probably more but dont feel like really looking.
heres another 8 respectable wins- (of course my opinion)(also in my first 3, both MAB(x2)and Morales(x3) have multiple fights with manny.
-JMM 2- no need for explanation. In truth JMM/PAC = x4. all matches were pretty badass.
-Sasakul- important Mannys first Lineal title, sasakul had hometown advantage in Thailand, Mannys only 2nd time fighting away from PI.
-Cotto- while the 45 cw is irritating you cannot deny it was a great fight for both fighters. Manny officially entering the WW div.
-Thurman- undefeated young WW.
-Hatton- KO of the year, hatton was the man @140.
-Diaz- 135 Lineal, Manny hurt that man, i felt bad.
-DLH- oscar was trying to cherry pick manny, it backfired..oscar being drained was on him, manny dispatched him accordingly.
-Bradley 2- being robbed in a fight. Manny going up against a very tough tim how many times?
I wouldve went into more detail about things but you'll just insult everyone i listed.
