For one thing Manny, even though a favorite going into fights with big guys, still shows to paying public the kind of fights they want and pay for by showing bravado going toe to toe and test their strength knowing he doesn't have to do it and could wind him flat on the canvas. Now if that's not courage, don't know what is.
Patterson wasn´t terrified of Liston, D´Amato however was and wanted Patterson to stay away from him. After they split up Patterson fought Liston. Patterson was a problem child, very much like Tyson when he was young and was sent to reform school due to that. Yes, he was a very shy person and probably the nicest, friendliest hw ever. That´s with the disguises is true. He was very ashamed after those losses. But he redeemed himself with his career afterwards.
Oh for sure, i never implied that Manny didnt have any balls, dude does have a pair. I just think there are other dudes with a bigger pair out there :good
Lol. JMM has big balls my ass. Turned down an immediate Pac rematch and fought Chris John and lost. Lost again to Pac and showed the world how a pathetic loser he is. The only time I admired JMM's courage is when he challenged Mayweather near Mayweather's weight class. But we all saw how Mayweather made him one of his obedient little ***** even until now.
:deal Many fighters have fought 12 rounds with a broken jaw, a broken hand or seeling blood from a bad cut. Which is amazing. But not many have stepped up again and again from a loss, and keep giving even the best fighters the hardest fight in their career! Fighters like Glen Johnson and Aturo Gatti are one of a kind!
