Manny had nearly every conceivable advantage over Marquez. Manny is 5 years younger, much faster, more explosive, and more powerful than Marquez and still struggled to defeat Marquez clearly. Manny and Juan are also similar in size and dimensions as well.
Manny is not going to have nearly as many advantages over Floyd as he did over Juan. He's only a little faster, slightly younger, and slightly more explosive. But he's also smaller in terms of height and reach. The fact that Floyd shells up or moves his head while JMM opens up to exchange is the reason why Floyd will be trickier to deal with than JMM ever was.
Not only will Manny have to worry about the right hand counter like he did with JMM, he's also going to have to deal with somebody who is taller, more elusive, with quicker hands and quicker feet than JMM.
