Floyd's Mittwork/Speedbag or Manny's Stickhitting/Hooks roll under?
Seems that whenever they are training for fights....Floyd only allows that part of his camp to be aired. For reasons why...I don't know. And Mayweather's camp never allows videos to record his sparring sessions. Anyone know why? Is it so that no one can have footage of "perfection"? Yet with Manny...videos of him sparring/ shawdowboxing, routines and almost anything else are available on Youtube.
I can honestly understand why Floyd is undeafeated...TO AN EXTENT.....he just has skills....no fighters can get footage on him except fight footage. No definite ways to prepare for Floyd, + his natural talents + cherrypicking on a LW = "0" Losses.
Manny...I am surprised at how many people call him "1 Dimensional", "No boxing skills", "can't fight going backwards"....dam near all his sparring sessions are available online. Yet he hasn't had a "official" Loss since the 1st Morales fight. My take is that there is no fighter out there that can emulate Pac's natural talents....speed and punches from angels.....(remember B-Hop in DLHs trainign camp? LOL!)
I think that Manny's stickwork/ hook-> roll under footage are more impressive than Floyd's padwork/speedbag footage. We know that Floyd is fast and can throw combos.....but the stickwork to show what Manny puts his body thru to toughen it up and his hook/roll under are things that he has implemented in his fights almost every fight for the last 4 years. Yet NO ONE has even been able to put him on his back.
For the record...Floyd did not impress me this weekend, for the simple fact that it went 12 rounds....I didin't catch the fight, and will watch it on HBO this weekend....but from what I've been hearing from everyone that's seen it, Floyd SHOULD HAVE puit Marquez away in the middle rounds....but DIDN'T.
So Manny and Floyd now have 3 common opponents.....
DLH - Manny fought DLH at 147 and drained. Floyd fought at 154 and DLH wasn't drained. ADVANTAGE FLOYD.
Hatton - Manny fought Hatton ins HIS Division...140 and took his RING Title. Floyd made hatton come up to 147 knowing that wasn't his weight class. ADVANTAGE Manny.
Marquez - Manny had 2 wars with Juan....both times both fighters were fighting at comfortable weights....Floyd made Juan come up to WW AND failed to make the contracted weight. ADVANTAGE MANNY.
Take it how you want it.......DISCUSS!
