He should still be in his prime (or near)

Many fighters get ko losses and are still just as good as they were before.

Its up to manny to prove that he is as good as everyone thinks he is..
I agree, was ali or lennox past their prime after their first ko loss, or bad loss. real champions come back.
Pac won the first fight, unless pac got old over night, he wins this fight. Bradley will by no means lay down, but i dont think he can win.
All im saying is that just because because manny got knocked out by marquez does not mean that anything should change.

Marquez wont fight manny again as he is over 40 and he wants to retire on that win (cant blame him)

Just because manny does ko everyone with his power does not mean he cant outbox them or hes gunshy.

He cant always be aggressive (as the marquez situation will always be in his mind) but a true champion overcomes that so it will be interesting to see post rios if he can just concentrate on winning.
