    I don`t think he was in his prime at welter, too small, more effective at lower weights, Bud is better than anyone Manny beat at welter.

    Loma is better than anyone Duran, Chavez or Armstrong beat at 135.

    2008-2012 was peak Manny in terms of putting it all together. Before this period he was a left hand happy hitter. After this period he was a more cautious fighter.

    I honestly wasn't even thinking about Loma here. More of the Tank, Garcia, Lopez, Haney crew.

    Duran
    Tyson
    Super Joe (I miss his unique style)
    JCC Sr.
    Kostya
    Hagler
    Jose Luis Lopez
    McCallum
    Vitali

    And let's excavate Carmen Basilo's body from the grave so he can expose and paddle the ass of the extremely overrated Spence which he 100% would. Crawford can get that work from him too.

    He would murder everyone at 126 right now, only Navarrette would be his competition.

    Antonio Margarito back at 100 % before the ridiculous ' loaded gloves' BS Force Floyd into fighting him or be stripped of all titles . force him to be a man just for once. If Floyd can legitimately beat him I'd willingly call him Champ & the better man . Problem is Floyd would never ever have the stones to give Tony a fair fight with no corruption. THATS BEEN PROVEN IN THE VIDEOS !!! tony would give him the azz whuppin ' he has long deserved.

    Sure, but he'd make an entertaining job of routine defences
