    Father Time is the GOAT but last time out Manny whooped his and One Time's ass at the same time.

    I managed to squeeze four ''times'' into a singe sentence

    You are going to far to call him GOAT. I appreciate he is your hero man but come on let’s be objective. I think when you put everything thing together he is in arguably the top 20 to top 30 of all time.

    Manny's loads? Straight from the source?

    Not sure Manny is a Traveller though so I don’t think he can be the GOAT.

    Good point. To be fair, he is a road warrior so in that sense he is a traveller. But a gypsy? No he can never be a real fighting man. Even if he moves into a caravan he will never be a gypsy

    I wish, but nah, I'm in Boston. But I did have a custom made multiclava with Manny's face printed it on it that I use to fend off COVID 19 and clean up messes.

    :D

    He established records that will never be broken. And in the second half of his career, he routinely gave up 15-20 pounds and a significant size advantage to almost every guy he fought while still being a dominant force. Right now, you're looking at a guy that's almost 42 years old, just beat the **** out of Thurman, and was a former Flyweight. How is that not breathtaking to you?

    Without doing a serious breakdown of who I would rank where, Top 15 easily. He has too many accomplishments vs too many great fighters to realistically rank him lower. Does he take over spots from the likes of Sugar Ray Robinson, Roberto Duran, Joe Louis, Ezzard Charles, and Henry Armstrong? Eh...maybe, maybe not. I'll play what I think is a safe bet just in case.

    He's great but not as many praise him as.

    Firmly within the top 500 boxers of all-time. Somewhere between Ray Robinson and Kelly Pavlik.
