I still think Manny woulda had a legitimate shot pre-Marquez KO
Floyd is so incredibly prolific though defensively, and with his masterful counter game that it would still have been doubtful for a prime Manny...but a prime Manny woulda at least had a real shot
But the Marquez KO totally changed him. He became way more of a boxer -- and is now incredibly calculated with his risks. Before JMM 4 he threw caution to the wind. Now he's soooooooooooooo much more selective and cautious.
Manny's actually a very underrated boxer...he's 5-1 since the Marquez KO and got all five W's by simply boxing for the most part. With the only loss to the best boxer of the generation.
But yeah, trying to box with Floyd Mayweather...that's a recipe for a surefire UD loss. Which is what happened that night. Manny tried to box him. To have had any shot Manny would've had to have been the Manny of old -- the Manny who would throw a thousand punches in a fight. And that version of Manny became totally extinct after Marquez blasted him.
That version of Manny got counter KTFO by Marquez, an inferior counter puncher to Floyd. Imagine what Floyd, especially prime Floyd would-a done to him.
Douglas was a 47-1 underdog in his fight with Tyson. But his mother had just died and he fought with the heart of a lion.
In his following fight with Hollyfield, he was bloated and had no desire; and retired after the loss.
He also got the courtesy of a 15 count. However, no debate that he fought with heart.

Yeah but it took 4 fights with Pacquiao to land that home run. How many times did Pacquiao put Marquez on the deck before Juan landed that shot?
And inferior is a strong word, dude. Yes Floyd was an amazingly prolific counter puncher, no question, but JMM was one of the great counter punchers of his generation.
Just take away Floyds Steroids and implement VADA testing and this is possible
And let's clean those zits off Manny's back while we're at it huh? ****ing hypocrite to be saying anything about a guy who refused testing for years upon years.

Floyd fought Marquez remember, and counter punched the **** out of him with Marquez only landing 12 percent compared to Floyd landing over 50 percent on him.
So yes, he is an inferior counter puncher to Floyd, or perhaps you should consult the dictionary if you don't quite understand the meaning of the word (not meant to be an insult but sometimes people take phrases/words the wrong way).
