I'm tired of seeing posts suggesting that Floyd will beat Manny based on how Floyd beat JMM and the success JMM had against Manny.
First of all, Marquez was slow, overweight and bloated vs Floyd and Floyd didn't even TRY to make the contracted weight. So that fight should be thrown out the window.
Second, Marquez is a great counter puncher and does his best work during the exchanges. That's when he did his best work against Manny; he's not afraid to trade. Floyd does not like to trade at all these days.
Floyd will not find the same success Marquez had against Manny. Why? Because Floyd is afraid to trade. And he will not trade with Manny. If he does he gets laid out. Floyd didn't even want to trade with pot belly Marquez for fear of getting caught.
I see Floyd doing what he's been doing lately. Jab, potshot, hold, jump in with a left hook, hold, lead with a right, hold, etc., etc., etc.
And this limited output won't work against Manny's overwhelming output and pace. I see Manny beating Floyd to the punch on many occasions, especially early in the fight. Then I think Manny's angles and pace will give Floyd major problems late in the fight.
