You could say that Manny couldn't put a very past his best Shane away, but also remeber than Manny was fighting way above his natural weight, so it's not a fair comparison.
That's not entirely true. He started fighting as a teenager. When Floyd was his age as an amateur When Floyd was 17 years old he was fighting at 114. Floyd was 5'8 114lbs, at 16 Manny was 4'11 98lb. The height evens it out. So I think What Nazim Richardson pointed out after he first met manny, was that he is very compact, thick, and shouldn't have been fighting that low anyway, this was right before the pacman-hatton fight.
