Ir happened again recently. I don't get why he keeps losing decisions where he has clearly won the fight- He could have been a HOF without these robberies
As much as I like him and had him winning with Figueroa....it was a close fight and could have gone either way.People are whining too much,he didn't. The Burton fight was a robbery.
The fight with Figueroa on the Jones v Calzaghe card was a robbery, i do feel for Manny sometimes, he is a class act... never complains......
There has been several bigtime....The guy could have been a champion with better management and trainers. He was always fighting on short notice and the other guys backyard. i can off the top of my head think of 10 fights were he should have won vs the house fighter and didnt get the dec. The guy had like 7 or 8 draws??? He likely should have won all those fights. As far as ranking his robberies??? I think the Courtney Burton fight leads the list, I dont think that Burton won 2 rounds in that fight. that would be followed by Hurtado, the Herman Ngoudjo fight, the fight with David Daiz and the time that he fought in Denmark, I cant recall who he was fighting. That would be the top five but there are several others that some to mind were he should have won, or you could make a strong case for him winning... Vs Ivan Robinson, Leaverder Johnson, Teddy Reid, A fight he had on the Erik Morales vs Jesus Chavez undercard, I dont remember who the guy was.
yeah no doubt about that, I think that he threw the fight with Leonard Dorin. I dont know for sure, but it sure appeared that he was either throwing it or just there for a payday, but that is pretty much the same thing.
I don't know, but I remember back when his record wasn't so bad and he fought Mayweather. Boy, what a fight. He gave mayweather a tough fight, those guys were hitting out. He could've been a really good champion, if managed well and had a great trainer behind him. I keep thinking about that mayweather fight, damn he pu forth a good effort, even if it was a losing one. It's interesting how a lot of fighters had a more successful career then he did, but, he was actually the better fighter.
Did you see his effort against mayweather? I wouldn't say mayweather was completely primed then, but still.
He just didn't show up with Dorin.It was right after Ward so probably that's why but Dorin clearly beat him.
