Other than you just really really liking him, why is Manny beating Floyd again?

    My take:


    Mannys speed (as quick or faster than Floyd)
    Mannys power (add the fact shot you dont see coming hurt more, plus his right is dangerous too now)
    Mannys footwork (they key to beating Floyd, get in quick throw a combination then move then repeat -if Floyd cant handle it)
    Mannys stamina (hes shown even at higher weights he can perform all 12)
    Mannys ontop of his game right now. Best hes ever been. His time is now.
    His relationship with Roach is great and they'll follow a good gameplan and lay it down. My take.

        Floyds reflexes (better than mannys)
        Floyds power (one of the most underrated in boxing)
        Floyds footwork (still great)
        Floyds stamina (almost always finishes a fight like he just went for a short jog)

        I think the worst thing for manny is that floyd has a reach, arm length, and height advantage because all of that plays into floyds defense.

          Pacquiao's stamina and power are clearly better than Floyd's. I agree that Mayweather has underrated pop, but Pacquiao hits real hard. And stamina...please. Pacquiao throws upwards of 1000 punches a fight and Mayweather will throw around 500-550.
