I kinda agree and disagree... I think if floyd plays it same , he will look to land a big ko counter like marquez did.. Bradley tried this and it backfired, and while floyd is better than Bradley, I don't think it's wise for floyd to settle in with the shoulder roll and fight off the back foot. Doing this will allow manny to set the pace, and there is a much better chance of manny finding his rhythm which would be tough for floyd to deal with, due to manny's footspeed and handspeed..
I think floyd will have a much easier time if he uses the high guard and methodically walks down manny with a barrage of straight rights and jabs to the body. Make manny box off the back foot, and trap him on ropes. I don't think floyd has to be recklessly aggressive but he has to be the effective aggressor. Morales and marquez both had success because they would be aggressive and force manny back..
I suspect floyd will do a combination of shoulder roll, mixed in with some high guard
