People should agree with me that Manny has the style to beat Floyd. People thought just because JMM gave Pac a hard time by counterpunching Floyd will win easily. They forgot completely the fact that Pac won both fights albiet a close fight that can go either way. They also forgot to put into consideration the Pac who fought JMM twice was far from the Pac who retired Oscar and Hatton, gave the worst beating to Cotto, Clottey and Margarito. To half accurately gauge what Floyd can really do against Pac. JMM and Pac must fight at 140 or 147 as there are lot of things missing (better chin, stronger, wiser, etc.) from Pac arsenal in their last two fights. If Pac destroy JMM easily in this weight where most likely Floyd vs Pac will take place. Then it is safe to say Pac has a better chance of beating Floyd or vice versa than saying oh JMM beat him twice so Floyd will have an easy fight easy money to him but then keep moving the goal post is very frustrating then!
A really really good pressure fighter that doesn't play to Mayweather's style, you have to keep him on the ropes and cut off his ring generalship. You would also need a really good punch out put, Paul Williams would be humiliated by Mayweather. Pacquiao would present some troubles.
IMO the best style to beat Floyd is someone who can VICIOUSLY work the body, however even more so important than that someone with a great jab. of course he would need the physical tools like power, speed, leg movement, upper lateral movement, heart and stamina but in terms of what he would need to do to win in the fight he would need a good effective jab and an absolute terror of a body attack. Floyd has a very good defense, it will be a slimmer chance head hunting all night than if you break him down for 8-9 rounds first and then aim upstairs
