    But I'll leave it to the Mannytards to claim his legs are shot so he lies on the ropes in order to avoid punches.
    He was moving and circling around really good when he kept the fight in the center of the ring, but when it comes to his habit of laying against the ropes, that would definitely put him at a disadvantage against Manny. You can say anything you want about Manny when it comes to the technical aspects of the sport, but he's one of the best at throwing straight sharp punches.

    Floyd doesn't defend well against head-snapping punches especially when he's against the ropes. Oscar and JMM timed and caught him with two good straight right hands when he rested against the ropes.

      I agree, but Floyd isn't going to fight Manny the same way he fought Cotto. Habits or not, he knows where the danger zone would be against such an opponent.

        Floyd Mayweather-Miguel Cotto Takeaways: -First off, what an awesome fight! Nice to see Floyd actually be in a real fight. He definitely won, but I had it awfully close. I scored the fight 6-4-2 for Mayweather. If you score the two even rounds (3 and 9) for Cotto, you’re looking at a draw potenti Read Full Story >>>http://www.thesweetscience.com/news/...ny-beats-floyd
        Good for you. And I feel confident Floyd beats Manny. See how that works?

          Pacquiao disposses of Mayweather early and stops him in the 10th with the corner throwing in the towel. We get a glimse of 50cent grimacing in the early rounds and has to take an immediate leave to the locker room.

          Mayweather retires from Boxing as nobody cares about him anymore.

              The thing is if Pac and Floyd fight, and lets say Pac beat s Floyd. Are these floyd fans going to say to themselves, wow that suprised me i didnt see that happening, feigning being surprised?

              Err hello, Pac did beat all common opponnents better wasnt it obvious and why didnt you see it? Floyd fans wouldnt even be able to use the in hindsight or perhaps looking back excuse, maybe we should have expected Pac to beat Floyd.!

              If on the other hand Floyd beats Pac you could argue, just goes to show just cos Pac beat everyone better than Floyd dont mean Pac beats Floyd, triangle theories dont work.

              Just like Atlas thinking Hatton would beat Pac, but after the fight he said in hindsight he was an idiot to make such predictions, making a mockery of his so called expertise, even ray charles and stevie wonder without expertise could see it.

                I did a little better, I actually clicked the link and read the 1st few sentences. Once I saw him admit to being biased. I closed the link after that. He's a "Cotto guy" who scored the fight 6-4-2 for Mayweather. I'm nobody's guy and I scored it 10-2. People are just shocked to see Mayweather fail to pitch a shut out.

                  If by "stood in front" of him you mean back peddled all night then yeah, he did that
