It ain’t easy. Started boxing at 5 years old. Turned pro at 18. Became a trainer at 27. My entire life has been about boxing. It’s still about boxing. It will always be about boxing and a fight for my life. This is who I am. @WCBstore @ufcstore @WildCardBoxing1 📸 @lucasnoonan1

Manny has fought as a welterweight since 2009, with the exception of Margarito at super welterweight. The rest of my quote, which seems to have been buried, was: "We have never been offered that fight, no one's ever talked about that fight. (2 of 3).
