  • He wants to do something for others, outside boxing
  • He will fight anyone, any place, any time. No dodging opponents, no easy fights
  • He is a fighter through and through, loves a good tear up and will trade with anyone
  • he fights guys much bigger than him but never steals a fight. Stands in range and trades, but wins through supreme speed, guts and technique. Most of all, his fights are fought on the edge - his style is daring, and he lets it all hang out
  • He is a great great figheter full stop
How's that?
This is where a lot of folks would question him. I mean it's not like he has the final say in every fight he gets. Like the Raheem fight. We could all conjure up all sorts of ending for that fight but truth be told is boxing is still a business.

Manny is still a fighter, not the owner of Top Rank. He can't be expected to go up against people surrounding him who wants him to go redeem himself against morales. In fact, I seriously think manny doesn't give a damn if he loses to raheem if ever that fight had been made in lieu of a 2nd morales fight. He always says he wants to give people a good entertaining fight and that's what he's doing. It's a big part of him to go up banging against people willing to trade shots.

True, Manny is bothered by slick boxers. And up to this point I'm still sticking with pbf being a slight favorite if ever that fight happens. But be that as it may, Manny saying he wants to give people an exciting and bang for your buck fight, I would take that as it is. I seriously doubt manny is afraid of going toe to toe against any reasonably weighed fighter today. I think he's much more concerned being involved in a "non crowd pleasing" fight. All my opinions.
