    Floyd eventually will be able to beat Manny

    The sheer aggressiveness of Pacquiao means he engages in fights and takes shots. The JMM KO was bad but he seemed to have recovered well and I'm sure Manny is still elite and too dangerous for Floyd to risk the 0. However, his style will eventually diminish his skills and then I could see Floyd demanding a fight. Mannys probably got 2-3 years maximum left at the top so don't be surprised to see Floyd challenging him the end of 2015 or early 2016 by which time I suspect manny would've battled elites like Bradley and JMM once again adding more mileage.

    We need to worry about him actually accepting the fight first though without any excuses

      Angles. The way Floyd stands, gives Manny the perfect straight down the pipe left. Sure he could keep the right in front of the chin but Manny can punch behind the guard as he's shown versatility in punching angles.

      Manny also throws the occasional right hook to the body, he can dig it right behind the elbow.

      Safe money is still Floyd Mayweather.

        don't see this being a factor if he fights Floyd

        It was a regular punch when he fought Rioz, but that fight was a deviation due to how much his opponent ******. I remember him throwing one noteworthy right hook downstairs on Tim.

          Floyd was always going to beat Manny.

            floyd easily wins a wide UD against that 1 dimensional midget even with 1 hand tied on his back.

              I agree, he was always "gonna" do this and "gonna" do that...but instead ran off with his tail between his legs screaming "naaaaaah, health comes first".

                If that were true, they would have already fought.
                Even though I think Floyd wins by decision and yet still we wait, until Pac is way past it...it should be even easier work for Floyd now.

                  I keep forgetting that Bob Arum broke off negotiations due to a drug testing cut-off to fight Clottey. Keep making ****e up - does it help your psyche?

                    What a silly statement? If Bob Arum thought Manny could win the fight, then it would have already happened. For all the faith everyone has in Manny, you would think that Arum would share the same belief. I wonder why he does not.
