    If you can do it enough, which Manny could, then you can bully them.

    If you land one flush punch on Floyd it's a big deal because it barely ever happens.

    Also, getting Floyd on the ropes is not bullying... not if you're ineffective.

    Point being Manny can and has bullied much bigger fighters than Floyd.

    If Manny is throwing punches Floyd can't just shoulder roll them and slip them, he has to fire back. If Floyd moves away, Pacquiao footwork will match is and continue the assault.

    Pacquiao is not going to get tired or let up.

        But those guys don't really move at all. I thinkyour suggesting that because floyd didn't do something that he is incapable of it. Thats a mistake.

          And is also about 3 inches shorter, about 6 inches shorter reach, and at least 20 lbs lighter

            And like I said... size has nothing to do with the ability to bully.

            If Manny is throwing punches Floyd can't just shoulder roll them and slip them
            Actually, yes he can.

            he has to fire back.
            Don't worry.

            If Floyd moves away, Pacquiao footwork will match is and continue the assault.
            You mean like he did against Mosley?

            It was clear to see... when Mosley used foot and head movement, Pacquiao just chased him around the ring... never cut it off.

            Pacquiao is not going to get tired or let up.
            Neither will Floyd.

              why couldn't Pac do that against Mosley?

                Is that why Mosley said Pacquiao hits harder that anybody he has faced before, and Clottey has said similar things.

                  Very difficult punch to time, but if any can Manny can.
                  Once Floyd's made his mind up about a pot shot or counter it's pretty impossible to time. Best way is to catch him in the exchanges.

                    Has Mosley gotten punched by himself or Ortiz before?

                      Couple of other things to account for:

                      Manny has gotten frustrated in the past during fights he was not winning/dominating.

                      Floyd has been very tight at times in his biggest fights.
