To fight at the level these guys fight at, an inflated ego is vital. Deep down Manny knows Floyd won the fight, but you rarely ever hear ATGs admit being beaten while they are still active. Guys like Joe Louis, Oscar, Shane Mosely...etc., who remain humble/honest while maintaining the highest level of competition, are rare.
Everyone and anyone who watched the fight knows Floyd won. It wasn't exciting at all, was a horribly boring fight, and may have done irreversible damage to the sport, but was clearly dominated by Floyd. I think there is little interest or chance for a rematch at this point.
