    Two of the top fighters of the era? If this fight didn't happen, you'd say it was because Floyd ducked. Pacquiao didn't want, so as Floyd's done for his last 3 fights, he took the next best option.

      Intelligence.

      I believe you have to have some Extraordinary knowledge of the tricks of the trade, in terms of when to do this or why would or wouldn't you do this... Etc

      There are not too many with that kind of capability to think. I saw Mayweather back up to the ropes smiling against Mosley, and Mosley followed right after him. He took a counter right straight to the face for being baited in that easily by him.

        There are a few guys out there that has the style to beat Floyd. Cotto is one of them. The problem is, no one has the dedication and discipline to excecute it for 12 long rounds. Zab truly did show the world how to beat Floyd. He just simply got fatigued mentally and physically. The same with Oscar. He just ran out of gas. They both gave Floyd hell early. But, this is the pros not amateurs. That's why as of now, Floyd is the best.

          Speed.

          Zab Judah showed how he struggled against fast hands, ditto Shane Mosley for the couple of rounds he lasted.

          Why you think he won't fight Pacquiao? Floyd knows.

            you cant have both , if mosley was cashing out against manny then a better example would be cotto versus floyd you could say the same thing about manny ducking mosley if he never fought him

                Pac did duck Mosley, it's well documented. Cotto's never showed up at the Mayweather gym begging for a fight and willing to agree to ridiculous terms.

                Mosley got spanked by Floyd and had a draw with Sergio Mora at 154 before Manny would fight. Mind you, after father Bob said the fight wouldn't make sense.

                Cotto's 3-0 with 3 KO's at 154. Weltsrweight Floyd is willing to fight him at 154. Manny isn't. Why?

                  you admitting defeat already ? and to be honest mosley and cotto arent cashing out , you guys just like to discredit manny , no fighter with credibility would willingly lose a fight to make money when they can make more and at the same time save their faces defeating either floyd and manny but hey whatever makes you sleep at night , good night.

                      You illustrate the problem with Manny fans, no one is out to discredit him for no reason. The fact is he hasn't fought a meaningful fight since Cotto. Why did he not fight Shane back then, when we all wanted to see it, but the fought him after he lost to Floyd and drew with Mora? It happened that way, not because I wanted it to.

                      Fighting Bradley is a step in the right direction. I would've rather he taken the $40MM for Floyd instead of $20MM for Tim, but I'll settle.
