Here are the two biggest reasons I don't see Manny coming close to beating Floyd.
Floyd can hit while he is moving and when Manny throws 5 punch combos on guys it's right before they plant to throw or he turns them. Floyd is quick and can turn with Manny and he is fast enough with his reach to jab him as he tries to close in.
Also Floyd can time better than anyone in the game, he was clearly slower than Judah when they fought and adjusted by timing him like a stopwatch. This is important because Manny literally leaps off his feet when he throws a powershot exactly like Rick Hatton and I think Floyd is fast enough to time him.
I also think that Manny gets away with most of what he does because he is so much faster than everyone else he fights. He won't have that advantage with Floyd. He throws so many punches because he can do it before most people can react. Look at Amir Khan, he fights the same way, but when he came up against Garcia who can throw with enough speed to catch him, he punched through his combo. Floyd has the speed and awareness to do the same.
That being said Manny is still very capable of beating Floyd, as his offense can simply overwhelm him if Floyd can't hurt him. If Floyd can't make Manny respect his power, he will get pit bulled. Manny will be leaping in on him all night until he wears him down, simple as that. Not to mention Manny isn't as bad a tactician as people make him out to be, he can set traps. I think Floyd handles his power but the amount of shots this guy throws is borderline cheating. I was being sarcastic but really him and Khan are offensive freaks of nature.
This and Floyd is 38, that is old I don't care how good of shape he is in, if he dominates this fight at 38 he is a beast, enough said.
