    What's odd about Pacquiao fans is that you say Floyd struggled with a guy Alexander beat easily, without mentioning the different circumstances. But you guys hate when Floyd fans bring up Manny getting put to sleep by a guy Floyd easily handled three years earlier
    Oh you mean Marquez who moved up 2 weight classes was cheated on the scales and was drinking piss and throwing rocks off mountains?

      I'm starting to think manny wins a clear decision, no controversy

      Floyd has aged more
      What's this like the 900th time you've changed your mind? How many times do you need to watch their fights before finding your opinion?

        If he makes every possible prediction, after the fight he can go back and say he called it no matter what happens.

            Very simple answer;

            Styles make fights.

            Canelo's style suits today's version of Floyd.

            Maidana's does not.

              This is only partially true. I always thought Maidana would be a tougher fight than Canelo because of his awkward, rugged, and dirty style. However, I could tell something was off about Floyd before he even threw a punch. Maybe the guy had sex the night before the fight or something because something clearly wasn't the same.

                    Let's be realistic here, Canelo was made to order for Floyd. He's flat-footed and telegraphs punches from a mile away, Austin Trout would have beaten him if it weren't for the knockdown and Erislandy Lara practically gave away the fight when he decided to stop throwing punches.

                    Floyd said it himself on all access "We put him on our undercards, build him up to be something that he's not, and then we beat him".

                      Because a guy isn't allowed to improve? Juan lost every second to floyd and arguably beat pac 3 times
