that if I had a son aspiring to be a fighter, I would ask him to model himself on Manny both in and out of the ring. The word greatness is used two often with speculation ( i wont mention which British fighter I am referring to..I think you know). I dont think I have ever seen a guy with such class both in and out of the ring. Also the thing that defines Manny's greatness is he takes fights that have intrigue attached with them...sure he beat an average Champ in Diaz. But let us not forget this was a former Flyweight Champ. For me There is only RJJ and mayweather who rank above him from the last 20 years. Do I give him a chane against my country man Ricky Hitman Hatton? I make ricky a slight fav due to the fact people forget Hatton is an outstanding Lght Wleter Champ...one of the physically strongest fighter P4P. Rick has had problems taking a left hand...and thats Mannys best punch. Put it this way, if they ever fought I would not be booing Manny like many of our Brits would. He is a pure humanatarian in an Un Humanatarian Sport.
