So if that fight with Mayweather does not happen, what is Manny supposed to do?
Manny will earn limited credit for beating ANYONE but Mayweather.. That is true... If Mayweather doesn't work, he's got to fight someone, so of course he doesn't earn the props that he would get for beating Mayweather, but it will be another challenger with another mindset/style/preperation,,, challenge,,, that he has beaten.. Another small question answered..
But there will still be detractors..

Even if he fought Pavlik or Hopkins people would still detract from a win...

You know what they say, you know you made it when you have tons of haters.
