Ray Mancini vs Mando Ramos @ 135

Great matchup. I'll have to think on it, I'm stumped at the moment. Total toss-up to me.

 

I lean toward Mancini.

 

I've got Ray and his superior physical strength to win out. Ramos was a tall lightweight and had a lot of natural a ability but he was also somewhat inconsistent probably due to his partying lifestyle. Mancini was a straight up dog that trained hard and prepared himself to always be 100% and he fought like that.

While Ramos was the more naturally talented fighter, Ray had no quit in him and I think he would overpower/overwhelm Ramos who was stopped six times by the time he retired in his mid 20's.

 

Toss up for me.

I came to the same conclusion: Ray has the edge in strength and would impose himself enough to win. Also a high-workrate guy, which factors in his favor.
