Does Floyd hit as hard as Cotto, Mosely or even Plasterless Margarito?

No.

And he has proven that he doesn't have to punch hard to win. You can walk through all of his punches but if you can't touch him, you lose.

I doubt it. Manny only knows how to fight one way. Even if Floyd's punches really hurt, he would still come in chin up, guard down, hands flying.

And you know I am all for Floyd but Manny just doesn't care really. Marquez almost dropped him and Manny still stood there guard down, chin up, hands flying.

maybe.....but being better stops when you get hit really hard...when the knees start to buckle.....when the head goes cloudy...then it will be over...soon

Yeah, that's the way i see it as well. That's his style, and it has worked great for him throughout his career. I just don't see how he can beat Floyd other than KO him or win on activity alone.
