When Floyd fights i say to myself "Damn he's the best he beats Pac!"
When Manny fights i say to myself "Damn he's the best he beats Mayweather"
Last night when Pacquaio fought i never came away in awe as normal but thinking he was real lucky that wasnt Pretty Boy Floyd in there with him!
Mosley i gave the first round and nothing else, he went into survival mode early and it was one way traffic, poor show from Shane who is quite clearly not past his best but SHOT to Pieces! But by doing that he made it hard for Pac to shine, its always hard to look good against a guy who just wants to survive but i think there is more to it than that, JMM stood off Manny and he imo beat him twice but regardless of ur scoring he gave Manny big problems!! Cotto backed up late when Pac had really put it on him and had the Filipino looking frustrated. Basically Manny likes his opponents to come straight at him and his last lot of opponents have been selected because thats just what they do and have made Manny look sensational (and he is)
Floyd wont come at him or trade, Floyd will move, pull counter and pot shot him, he will make him miss and make him pay imo and thats IF they ever fight of course!
To be fair to Pacman i believe him when he says his legs were bothering him, he didnt have his usual bounce, the spring and rythem he usually works up plus i heard him say inbetween rounds, 7 or 8 i think, that "somethings wrong" so mabey it was just a bad night at the office for the champ and its a testiment to his brilliance that when he dropped and basically shutout a fighter like Mosley (past it or not) that we talk of it as a bad night!
I felt like despite getting hurt in round 2 and NOT dropping Mosley that Mayweather put on the more commanding performance and against a better version of Mosley
Shane was a Great fighter - Manny is a great fighter.
So however is Floyd and for my money he beats Pacquaio
