When Floyd opens up on offense, and puts combos together, it truly is a thing of beauty. Problem is, he very rarely does this. I don't know why either. Often times, I think he could put his opponents away if he just stepped on the gas.

Hatton, Marquez, and Mosley all could have been stopped (in the case of Hatton, earlier in the fight) if he just engaged more.

He lands flush bombs, and sits there and admires his work. I don't have a clue why, either. It's not like he's got apparent stamina issues, and he's one of the best defensive fighters of all time.

I think his hand problems are def. a contributing factor. Because if he laid it out on the line on offense, I think he KO a lot more of his opponents.

People talk about Manny's handspeed, but I think Floyd might be equally fast, if not FASTER. Not to mention, much more balanced, and accurate with his shots.

Manny just bewilders his opponents.

No i dont really like that style. Gatti, Tua, Tyson, Hagler, Frazier,... I dont find them as entertaining as a great counter punchers like floyd.
