This is a fighter I like from watching the Arguello match and the Kim match but know culture about him, so to get a better feel, who compares to him? Rios?
I definetely do not see the similiarities with Rios to Mancini. but if had to pick one of the current top fighters Id say Froch. Very underrated in terms of boxing skill level and is willing ot trade when his opponent wants to.
Out of the current crop of top fighters who closely remsembles to Mancini? Let me guess what you are going to say... Katsidas :roll:
ricky hatton, but that's cause their white. Paul Malignaggi because their italian. I got arguello vs mancini on dvd. that 4 punch combo was f'n SICK.
Mancini, hell of a guy. Met him at a BJJ tournament, mentioned a couple of his fights. He started giving me in-depth analysis of each one I talked about lol...
These are better comparisons. I was around when Mancini was fighting. He was an over-achiever to be sure, but his skill-level is pretty limited.
He is a retired former boxer living in LA. He is an active member of UNICO National, the Largest Italian American Service Organization.
