Probably? Senator Manny would knock Conor out. Like "he's not gettin' up Jim" knock Conor out.
Antonio Margarito is a better boxing than Conor by a wide margin and has a 73 inch reach and fought Manny at a 150 lb CW. He made the mistake of making fun of Freddie Roach (Manny's trainer) and his tremors as a result of Parkinson's disease.
Manny battered Margarito for 12 rounds and literally broke his face bad enough that they postponed the surgery a day so that the swelling could go down.
Imagine what even bible-thumping Manny would do to Conor after that build up.

Both these guys think abstractly and much deeper about their own sport than their opponents do so I am curious what would happen when they fight and what strategies they would use.
Yeah, I'm not sure how much I buy into the "Conor is done after Floyd clowns him" talk. I can definitely see where it's coming from, but Conor slappies gobbled up Conor/Nate II after he got styled on, so I'm sure they'd just say it was a different sport and talk about how Conor's a genius for getting that cash (which...is probably true) and go right back to being a PPV-buying fan if he decided to go back to MMA.
