Manny was always all wrong for Floyd

All of this speculation means nothing until these fighters face each other in the ring. True champions take on the best, b1tches come up with 1,000 "reasons" & excuses for not doing so. The slighted fans are left to speculate about what could, should or would have been.

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.

if floyd would of fight pac like that he wouldnt see the 12th rd. pac throws punches from every angle.

Too bad there are health concerns. So we will never see this fight.

No one is going to outspeed, outwork, outstamina, outpower Pacquiao. The only way you will get a chance will be if you slug it out, you might get lucky and land a KO punch. That's a big risk many have tried and many have failed, ie: diaz, hatton, cotto, bradley. A few did not take the risk and they failed anyways, ie: dela hoya, margarito, clottey, mosley, rios.

Marquez was willing and he was rewarded.

I just don't see Mayweather willing to take that kind of risk, I have never seen it from him. He's a safety first one shot puncher, maybe at the most two punch combo. When Pacquaio throws his 10 punches under 2 second combination, Mayweather will be in his Philly shell. Pacquiao's weird angles and looping punches can penetrate that shell.

Manny refusing the fight repeatedly came first.

I said the same thing in the Spoon32 thread. Those jabs were landing at will. Imagine Pacquiao's lead left... coming in like a laser. Floyd ain't ******. He knows why he didn't fight Pacquiao.

Must we not forget. Maidana exposed Floyd's body like never before.

Floyd's waist is always open for hooks.

It proves Floyd has always been open for body shots. It's just that Maidana was the only one who kept on doing it among Floyd opponents.

Those body shots were landing all night (constantly). Chino was unloading like his life depended on it. Vicious!

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.

but tim got 10 times more balls than floyd....

fear and the desire to run take away the counterpunch...

floyd is no jmm when it comes to heart....

this up there the father and the uncle and the self-proclaimed TBE know very well...

very good points

Why do people think Manny fights ANYTHING like Maidana? Lol they don't fight similar whatsoever. So I really don't get where this is coming from.
