    Styles make fights... Could Floyd stop Manny?

    Manny's aggressive. Floyd will not press Manny. What gives?

      Marquez did better than i thought, JMM is an intelligent fighter who can fight at a high pace but he still couldnt push PBF around, Manny with his southpaw style might have a better chance because he has a better fighting style and speed but if you open up too much against Mayweather he would pick you off at will with ease.

        Since it has become apparent now that Floyd is a full sized ww, lets wait and see if this should even happen.....I honestly don't want to see Floyd beat up a guy who doesn't belong in there with him due to size discrepancy again. The Cotto/Pac fight is the true test here if this may ever even happen.

          Floyd gets roughed up when his opponents throw combinations. Manny is probably the only one in the game right now who is fast enough to hit Floyd repeatedly for 12 rounds other than perhaps Shane Mosley. With the right game plan I can definitely see Pacquiao winning against Mayweather.

              I noticed Floyd was all defense every time Marquez threw combinations on him. I can see Manny's aggressive style AND SPEED backing Floyd up in a defensive shell. But Floyd has decent pop in his counters and pot shots. That's what keeps his opponents at bay. Don't know if Manny will open up on Floyd. No one really does.

                  i think manny could beat floyd after watching last night.

                  Go at floyd in the last 30 seconds of each round and end up winning the fight.

                    I believe he could if he truly lets his hands go...but the question is will he have to?
