don't you think it has to do with the opponents? Think about it. From David Diaz, Oscar, Ricky Hatton & Cotto, to Clottey (never been KO'd), Margarito (iron face), Bradley (never KO'd), Mosley (never KO'd, but still dropped) and Marquez (never KO'd).
And all those guys took damage. Marquez suffered a broken nose and concussion (see below). Pac basically ended Margarito's career, Margarito started the fight Mexican but left the fight Chinese. Bradley broke his feet from running so much. Mosley said he couldn't remember three rounds and never was hit so hard in his life.
(from today)
David Diaz was a C level fighter at best, and Manny ducked Nate Campbell who beat Juan Diaz to become #1 at 135lb and he had 3 of the belts.
Ricky Hatton already got KO’ed by Mayweather and was on coke.
Oscar at 147lb a weight he didn’t fight in 7 years weight drained.
Cotto at a catch weight of 145lb, only after the Margarito beating and the hard fight with Clottey. Why didn’t Manny fight the winner of Cotto vs. Margarito you should be asking?
[Pac basically ended Margarito's career, Margarito started the fight Mexican but left the fight Chinese]. LOL really?? Mosley and Brother Nazim ended Margarito’s career Nazim by finding his hand wraps and Mosley by beating the living shit out of Margarito and actually knocking him out unlike Manny. Plus let’s not act like Margarito wasn’t banned from boxing for a year when Manny Cherry-picked him at a catch weight of 150lb for Martinez’s 154lb vacant belt. Again why didn’t Manny fight the winner of Margarito vs. Mosley? Lol
Mosley never recovered from landing those two bombs on Mayweather and then getting his ass brutally beat for 10 rounds by Mayweather. After that fight Mosley couldn’t pull the trigger anymore. Mosley fought like a bitch too but Manny was exposed he can’t hit a moving target and his stamina was getting bad. Which again why didn’t Manny fight the winner of Mayweather vs. Mosley? Lol Let the commission do their job.
[Bradley broke his feet from running so much]. Lol Really?? What fight were you watching? 140lber Bradley was right in front of Manny all night and by the 9th round until the end of the fight Bradley had Manny backing up from the body work he put in. Manny again cherry-picked a 140lber and lost the fight. I love how Manny fans love to give him credit for a fight he lost and he ducked the rematch to fight a 39yr old Marquez and got KO’ed.
I know you guys love Manny but stop it with all the overhyping it’s over for now. 122-130lb Manny had a great career; 135-154 is all catch weights, media hype, great match making, and ducking random testing. Since being asked to be randomly tested 2009 dude hasn’t looked good at all in the ring. Ducking out on the superfight because of random testing will be a black cloud over Manny’s career. Manny is a HOF fighter but he’s over hyped..
