Has Manfredo's showing and seemingly new hunger changed any minds?

I think if Lee progresses he'll do better work at 168 after adding some muscle mass. His legs are way too skinny as well, if he worked on them he could be a bigger puncher IMO.

He's got a great offensive arsenal but that defense is just beyond horrible. Manny Steward should be able to fix him up what with the fighters he has to spar against on a regular basis.

Thats what I find curious.
Emmanuel has brought Lee to the ring in poor condition once (Vera imo,) and really hasn't worked on defence.
Could it be that Steward is training him like G-Man, a high octane staright puncher always seeking the KO

Lee has a long way to go, but his potential, as you spotted over a year ago, is massive.
