Floyd fought nobody.
His best win is over Hatton and we saw how Hatton is good
against great Manny Pacquiao.
Floyd robbed Castillo twice...twice.. and Castillo is really slow guy.Comment

It's tough to compare him with his fights with Marquez to how Floyd will fight him. Floyd is not or never will be a brawler nor will he throw mass amounts of punches. The reason both Marquez and Manny fought they way they did was because they could. That is way out of Floyd's element to fight like that. But what would make one assume now that Pacquiao would go in and try to smother Floyd if it's obvious that doesn't necessarily work? It is that mentality that makes most fans of a particular fighter inevitably turn their cheek.1. He will dodge punches and counter.
2. He will BLOCK punches and counter.
3. He will go the body.
4. Hes just as fast if not faster at 140 pounds.
Manny went life and death with a slick counter puncher like JMM....
Now imagine JMM at 5-9...with a sick defense a 72 inch reach..blazing speed...a granite chin...sick footwork...and the brain of most elite trainers....and thats Floyd.
Many has no chance....and he wil get knocked silly the second he tries those wild ass left hands..Floyd will put him on his ass.
I believe you will doubt any fighter that faces Floyd. I mean, didn't you state that Ricky Hatton would be too much for Pacquiao? Why should I believe you if you're telling me now that Floyd will do the job? I think your judgment is clouded by your allegiance to Mayweather.Comment

Floyd is smart enough to never underestimate his opponents.
He 's clearly aware that any slip ups will cost him his record and status.
You can't count Marquez or Manny out.
For a comeback fight, Marquez is a more dangerous opponent than most.
Manny's style will no doubt present some problems for Floyd.
Manny's jumping in and out, firing shots from all sides, his hand speed, counter punching, and lowering his center of gravity have been very effective.
If Floyd can't match his speed and stay on point with effective punching, he may end up losing that night.Last edited by MindBat; 05-04-2009, 01:08 PM.Comment

I think this could very well be a tactical affair with Floyd being afraid to take chances against the smaller man and just being satisfied outclassing him for a decision or late stoppage.
Why would I bet against Floyd fighting a tuneup against an old fighter 2 weightclasses below?

Stop trying, Oscar was a garbage win for both, whatever the reason (oscar went life and death with steve forbes before floyd, remember?)don't forget floyd beat both of them in better versions:
1. Floyd beat Oscar at 154lbs and a primer more healthy version
2. Floyd weighed in at 148lbs on fight night and Hatton weighed 154 lbs on fight night in their 147lbs show down when Hatton was UNDEFEATED.
Hatton weighed 152lbs on fightnight and Manny weighed 148lbs on fight night during their fight while Hatton was already ruined from a Mayweather KO. This flies in the face of haters who say that Floyd beat Hatton at an uncomfortable weight of 147 because Hatton is truly a 140'lber, well how could that be when Manny Floyd and Hatton all weighed the same no fight nigth so there's no real difference.
Ricky is about even, we all saw what happened when he stepped up in weight, but pac put him to sleep, a much more impressive win than floyd's. I'd say pac would be the slight favorite at 140, Floyd is bothered by speed and lefties.Comment
