    Manny was always all wrong for Floyd

    Style wise..Speed, power, movement, angles, punch output.
    I always favored Floyd if they fought years ago but the more I think about it I think about it I can't see how Floyd would have beat him throwing a few shots here and there.
    Manny would have pressed the action and either Floyd stands his ground and goes toe to toe like Marquez did in 4 fights or Manny wins rounds with his punch output and clean left hands. He's really the only guy I could see taking a decision against Floyd. And, if Floyd went toe to toe he would have got hurt IMO.

    The same way Floyd is all wrong for him. Defense, counter-punching, movement, accuracy and a solid chin.

      You have it backwards. Floyd is all wrong for Manny. Manny throws punches and leaves himself open. He can't beat a great counter puncher. Marquez is a very good counter puncher, but he's no Mayweather when it comes to counter punching. Also, Mayweather is 100 times the defensive fighter that Marquez is. Mayweather would have an easier time than people think against Manny. Bradley is not the best boxer in the world and gave Manny A LOT of trouble.

        counter punching itself isnt what manny has problems with. if that was the case, tim bradley would have won twice. he has problems with guys who are counterpunchers who are willing to exchange with him

              Bradley is not even a good counter puncher. He's average at best.

                Seriously we will never know. Floyd would give Manny alot of problems too. How I wish this fight would have been made in 2009-2010. Prime Pac vs prime Floyd.. what a matchup

                  Floyd mayweather will beat the daylights out of Pac, everyone always says Pacs speed his angles and all this garbage! His angles and speed weren't working I guess against Marquez when he was asleep on the canvas! Floyd will be a nightmare for Pac, Pac ain't no nightmare for floyd!

                  Maidana lost that fight clearly and if you think he won you don't know **** about boxing!

                  Maidana is a dirty ****er!! All he does is try to punch behind the head, low blow, knee, tackle! GTFOH floyd shouldn't even give him a rematch
