Percy Manning

17-7-1 / 11 KO

South Philly - Welterweight

Highly touted prospect won 11 in a row (10 KO), before falling to Dick Turner. Susceptible chin was culprit in every loss, but still beat Briscoe, Stable & Rodriguez in consecutive 10-round decisions. Fought for CA version of 147-lb world title in 1966.
