    It’s been a long time coming and many of us knew he would get in eventually but it’s great to finally see him inducted with the rest of the other ATGs, including his greatest rivals. What an incredible career he’s had. A fighter like no other. Giving the fans exciting and dazzling performances. Nothing but huge respect to this legend.

    War Pac-Man!! :ibutt Mabuhay!

    A truly generational talent we are lucky to have witnessed.. As you said, up there with the best of the best.

    I have such fond memories watching his rise and reign with my late brother, thank you Manny….

    Started at 112 and went 15-5 at 140-154 usually fighting a future HOFer or near HOFer in a stacked era. Only guy to knock him out was smaller than him lol.

    Manny is the reason I'm so reluctant to give deference for losing to guys like Duran because of their size. That 6 fight fight run from De La Hoya to Mosley where he was losing less than a round per fight just shattered the expectations for P4P greats and changed how I view the sport. At his best he could have won at 160 too there was just no big fights to make there.

    Normally these P4P greats are winning with great difficulty at their heighest weight class. Manny could not have been more dominant in his 154 fight with Margarito.

    He was no Vinny Pazienza, but he's a pretty good addition to this HOF class.
