Manny was absolutely incredible against David Diaz who was the only southpaw a modern version of Manny has faced. It was amazing watching him not only put together right handed combinations, but also his defensive skills were quite sharp. I honestly think a performance like that would have him beating the crap out of Martinez. I see Martinez as potentially explosive, but mostly a guy who is a little sloppy who beats guys on speed. I honestly think his style wouldn't trouble Manny even as much as Andre Berto or Mosley. Styles make fights and Martinez from what I've seen doesn't have a style that works well against a guy faster than him who is also far more technical like Pacquiao. I see Martinez coming in with sloppy balance like he always does and Manny would counter him, and pick him apart when he tried to drop his hands when he moves away after attacking.
