I want him to get a winning streak going... Not kill it. Anyway, I am truly glad he's starting to earn respect. He grew up in my home town so of course I'll root for him... I'm just happy he has found Roach and his father is managing him well.... Never thought I'd see love for Manfredo on here!!
He's starting to get some respect now but honestly I'd take Mora over him every day of the week.

To be honest Manfredo was my favourite on the show along with Gilbert and Bonsante and I hated Mora, but since they have gone about doing their own thing I've started to like Gilbert and Manfredo less and start to appreciate Mora a lot more.

I think it's mainly to do with all the smack Manfredo talks, since leaving the show he has badmouthed practically everybody, him and Ishe Smith are a couple of little whiny bitches.

Mora for all his percieved arrogance never really talks smack like the others do. On the show he was one of the few boxers, along with Tarrick and maybe a couple others who just got on with the business of fighting and left all the bitching and whining to the likes of Smith and Brinkley.

I really like him, no matter what anyone else thinks of him, plus I felt he deserved to win the rematch with Manfredo.

If they ever do fight again Mora will make it 3 strikes and out for Manfredo, no matter what weight they fight at.

Manfredo has improved dramatically but he's a one dimensional fighter. Give him credit he works his corner's game plan well but if things don't go according to plan in the ring he can't adapt and just carries on fighting the same fight as he prepared for.

Mora can adapt, totally taken out of his gameplan in the rematch with Manfredo when he was cut really badly he regained his composure and by the last couple rounds in my opinion and that of the judges he had regained control of the fight. Calzaghe showed against Bika that overcoming that kind of adversity is a tough thing to do.

Against the Shark Attack he recovered from being knocked down to dominate and he figured out awkward lanky Eric Regan, (who had beaten Yory Boy Campas prior to that) within a couple of rounds. Of course Manfredo guest commentating didn't want to give Mora any credit though

I think Manfredo is getting a little too cocky and arrogant now. After knocking out Spina, one of the biggest bums around, lets be honest, he said contempuously 'He's got his 15 minutes of fame through fighting me and made some money, now I can go on to bigger things.'

Yeah Peter, like you arn't living off the back of being a 3 time loser on a reality TV show,

Manfredo's main appeal to my mind lies on the back of him having a young family and a really cute daughter who tugged at the heartstrings before all of his Contender fights.

Like I said I used to like him a lot, but I'm beginning to like him less and less.
