    How high do you rate him? should he be in the ibhf? Had some great wins over tom johnson, scot harrison, victor polo, kevin kelly, frank toledo and alejandro gonzalez.
    I would like to see manuel in the ibhf he has been one of the best featherweights in the world from 1991 right through to 2006. Was also a 5 time world champion

    Bases on longetgevity guys like him and Zaragoza are great fighters imo.
    Better than other fighters.

    Look at Vargas, was great until Trinidad, look at medina still winning at advanced ages

    No.

    Actually, he was rarely ever among the best in that time. He usually took a backseat to the best.

    Thread Starter: No on all acounts. Medina was a contender even when holding a 'World' title. Hamed has a better shout IMO.
