    Do you know what the hardest thing about hitting floyd is?

    It's that you have to hit him at angles.. because of the way he shoulder rolls and limits the angles at which you can hit him- and hit him effectively.

    hmm I wonder who is good.. no not just good, but masterful at hitting HARD from limited, impossible to see angles?

    The hardest thing about hitting Floyd is that you have to get him in the ring first.

        First post is a fail.

        He fights lefty complety different than the way he fights right handers. Go watch some more Floyd fights before you say you have to hit him at an angle. Wtf is this crap.

          No it's not. If you're a top dog in the ring and command a large audience and bring enough cash to the table to choke a horse, all you need to do is call him out.

              My personal belief is that Manny would physically assault Floyd in the ring and KO him in around 9 rounds.

                Margarito did that in his face but Floyd chose Baldomir.

                  you can't hit him, because he won't fight anyone can potentially mess him up in the first place.

                    This is the reason that I honestly think Margarito (pre Cotto) would have been HUGELY difficult for Floyd to fight.

                    It's similar to the Rios-Peterson fight (except both Rios and Peterson aren't as good as Tony and Floyd) Floyd defense wouldn't work against someone who throws punches from everywhere like Margarito.

                    I would still favour Floyd to win but it would be much harder than most people think, Shane Mosley thrives off come forward fighters he is able to do what these Mexican fighters do but with faster hands and shorter shots. Floyd isn't Shane in that respect.
