I'd like to see Floyd constantly throws the straight right to the body against, Manny. That punch can nullify Manny's aggression and stamina. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Floyd operates better against southpaws when he uses his lead hand/left hand to set up power punches, coming forward, and controlling the distance and pace.
The lead straight right hand upstairs is the only punch that he doesn't need to use his lead hand to set it up because it's not a punch that he telegraphs and he disguises it behind feints, but he sometimes like to just lead with the straight right hand downstairs against southpaws and that can be dangerous to do against a fast southpaw who can counter-punch like, Manny. This was how Judah caught Floyd with the right hook that technically knocked him down.
Floyd did managed to landed the lead straight right hand downstairs, but Judah still caught him with the right hook. Imagine if Floyd had used his lead hand to occupied Judah's right hand or to momentarily blind Judah's frontal vision before he threw that straight right downstairs, he would've been able to landed that punch without getting counter the way he got countered. Sometimes all you need is that split second window to get a punch off and the lead hand can be used as a decoy to set that punch and it's quite an efficient tactic that Floyd likes to use, but sometimes abandoned even it when it works well for him.
I know it's terrible comparison and that Manny is in a whole different galaxy compared him, but watch Floyd's 9th pro fight against the southpaw Jesus Chavez. As I said, he's not in Manny's league, but some of those tactics that were used against him can to work against, Manny. Round 4 of the fight was a great display of how fluidly Floyd can set his power punches when he chooses to use his lead hand to control the fight.Comment

Carpe Diem's post was excellent. What do you ever post besides rubbish? Telling some one to 'STFU and just enjoy the fight' on a boxing discussion forum is akin to insanity.Comment

Ok, so those guys are tough because they haven't ever been stopped (or only in ams/kickboxing) and that's why Manny couldn't stop them. But Floyd, whose resume pisses all over theirs put together, who has never been stopped or even officially knocked down. Manny is going to stop him? Some sound logic you have there.Comment

thats the logic that YOU are using. I never used that logic... I was referencing that towards that ya floyd fans think that pacquiao stopping floyd or putting him on his ass because "thats never happened before" and its out of the realm of possibility. Styles makes fights... remember that.
At no point have I said Manny can't hurt Floyd, just that Manny winning via KO is one of most statistically improbable outcomes for this fight.Comment

There Is a slim chance Pacquiao could catch Mayweather with the type of shot he put Hatton away with. For whatever reason, I think Pacquiao has a better chance of knocking Mayweather out as opposed to Mayweather knocking Pacquiao out.
At the end of the day the most logical pick Is Mayweather by decision.Comment
