    how does he do? he went 13 round with arguello so IMO he's not getting hurt by any of the current guys, i guess pacquio would give him something to think about but mancini was blood and guts and would take pac to a place he doesnt wanna be in, not saying he wins but it deffo would be a close affair,

    I'd favor Manny over him by late TKO. Marquez? Probably, but I gotta see how JM handles Diaz first.

    Ray would have stopped Juan Diaz late, and would have knocked out Campbell within 6.

    I'm not saying Ray couldn't have beaten him but you seem to think it's a complete mismatch.

    I dont trust Campbell's chin at all against someone with Ray's power.

    Steve Smoger is deducting a point for low blows!

    Honestly I'd favor Mancini over a lot of the current crop except for maybe JMM. I think Nate is too inconsistent and seeing as how he's coming off a big win, his next decent opponent is figuring to get real lucky. I also don't think Pac counts as a LW anymore...especially if he's looking at more fights at 140.

    I think Marquez' timing based sharp shooter offense would probably be the downfall for Mancini in their fight.

    Juan Diaz doesn't have the pop or the footwork to keep Mancini away for 12 rounds. Would be an outstanding war though.
