    I feel this belongs in the classic section because I`m talking about a prime Manny, I feel Tyson showed the potential to be better P4P than Manny, but how should these two be judged? Potential? Talent or achievement?

    I feel Tyson was a better fighter, he was improving but sacked Rooney and ended up achieving a lot less than Manny did.

    Nobody ever, ever should involve themselves in such a ridiculous exercise.

    Got outside. Look at nature. Talk to a girl.

    So it’s safe to say that you’re going with Tyson?
