    At boxing??? Don't think GSP would get the good end of that sparring match...Then again, Pac hasn't cracked Khan's chin to badly...So perhaps GSP would be alright.

    They should spar boxing, kickboxing and it would be cool to see GSP show Manny some takedowns etc

    Haha yeah...You will see Margarito chasing Manny around the ring, Manny says "F*** it!" and just shoots Marg's legs, takes him down, and goes for an armbar! Or manny gives Marg some vicious leg kicks on the inside (which judging by Manny's legs I'd bet they'd hurt).
    Actually...Doesn't Manny do some form of Martial arts anyways? I've seen him work the hell out of some nunchucks, but not sure what style he is...

    I understand that he did Thai Boxing as a child before moving full time into boxing. Much like the Hattons.

    I don't think he ever did actual muay thai or nunchucks training as a younger man.

    Pro brawling style, all the way.

    manny has actually done some muay thai..so i suspect he would be ok with the kickboxing too (not saying his kicks would be as good as GSP..but his hands would likely at least equalize things) of course GSP would have a massive advantage when the takedowns come in.

    Why would he bother doing some training with Roach, he doesn't do stand up fighting after the Serra fight:roll:
