    Who did Floyd run and hold against more
    Manny is two years younger than Floyd and won two more world titles after Floyd beat him (not to mention the draw he just got at 47 with the WBC welterweight titlist).

    Floyd was more washed than Manny by a considerable margin when the fight took place. If it had happened earlier, Floyd would have been sharper and won even more easily.

      How does that make sense when it was Floyd who rocked Cotto in the 12th?
      I'm not seeing anybody rocked just Cotto walking through it the last minute of the fight, just a clearly scored point. The amount of times Cotto got hit clean in the championship rounds can be counted on one hand.

        Are you just not reading what’s being said?

        Mayweather himself was shopworn then so it’s a non-argument.
        I don't even like Floyd, but it's utterly hilarious to me how all of his critics assume that Floyd's prime lasted his entire career while every one of his opponents was either 97 years old or an innocent 8 year old kid who had never heard of boxing before.

        Floyd before his hands turned to peanut brittle was a different animal.

          I assume you are talking strictly about the 130 category since there were never fights against Shane (99) and Tszyu ?

            Floyd didn't get to 135 until Mosley was already at 147, and he didn't get to 140 until Tszyu was 1 fight away from retirement. You are talking utter nonsense. You might as well accuse Pacquiao of ducking Golovkin or Golovkin of ducking Adonis Stevenson. Get a grip on reality.

              Naw son that distinction belongs to the running man, Runny Money Clinchmaster Mayweather.

              His pops told him in between rounds he was scared

                Manny also had 60+ fights and was ko'd 3x

                    I do not recall Floyd vs Cotto like that or some late surge from Cotto? If anything it came from Floyd.
                    I recall Floyd winning early, Cotto making adjustments and taking the middle rounds then Floyd made adjustments and pulled away in the late rounds.
                    From memory it was competitive through 9 then all Floyd

                    To answer op; Maidana did a lot better.
                    I gave Maidana 5 rounds (1st fight), from memory I think I only gave Manny 3

                      floyd was in far better nick than pac at that point pac was nowhere near the wreaking ball of 2010 or around that time, that should be very clear
