In 8 fights compared to Manny's 7 fights, Floyd's opponents threw 360 punches more than Manny's opponents did, but Manny's opponents still landed 293 more punches on Manny than Floyd's opponents did on Floyd.Comment

I must admit that when Mosley rocked Mayweather in R2 I also thought that if it was Manny he would never have let him off the hook like that. Manny would have been relentless, whether that would be enough to stop FLoyd - I don't know, Floyd is too good to take sustained punishment without setting a trap or two.Comment

Manny's only chance at beating Floyd is by out hustling him. That is the only approach that would be successful. It is also a legit chance. You can keep Floyd guessing with lots of activity.
Floyd is not the type to get knocked out. The very few times his defense has failed him, his chin and composure corrected it. Manny is also too short to get past Floyd's shoulders anyway. Mosley could punch over the top of them, Manny is too short to do so.Comment

He can still do it. He did it against a much taller Margarito, but then again Margarito isn't knowing to throw quick instinctive punches nor body movement. He'd(Pac) risk himself of getting caught though because he'd have to lean his upper body forward without moving his feet unless he want to, and his face would be open for quick check hook shots by Floyd.Last edited by Carpe Diem; 05-01-2011, 03:22 AM.Comment

Well the hook from Zab that made Floyd touch the canvas was a legit KD by boxing rules. But Floyd was not really hurt by it, and there were no lingering effects there.
The Mosley shot buckled Floyd's knees. And it is possible that Mosley himself even 3 years earlier whould have had enough gas to finish him off. We saw what Mosley was like in the next fight, was it. So I think Pac was saying that if he had Floyd in that state, he has enough gas to finish him, depending when in the round it is.
I have seen Floyd get hit when many punch combos are thrown at him. It's the last one (or two) that gets you. (Yes, I know that leaves the thrower to getting hit as well.) This is what happened to Cotto. When Manny threw just one or two, Cotto slipped or countered etc. But when Manny threw a 3 or 4 or more combo, the last one KDed him.
Bottom line with Floyd and Manny is that neither one has fought anyone as good as the other. Other bottom line is it looks more and more likely that it will never happen.Comment
