Yeah good documentary and good book.

 

Good book. I think I've seen the documentary too. A fighter that is put in the convenient box of "glorified club fighter" to various uneducated folks here. The truth is that he was actually pretty good and it took good efforts from real good fighters to bring him down. A worthy champion.

 

Yes!! Finally someone here that has the same respect for Mancini's abilities that I do

 

What's not to respect? He fought and trained hard, always gave an honest effort, and had an exciting style.

 

Exactly ..a honest professional..he really gets blasted on here for some strange reason
