I Have to disagree with some of this though. Mosley wasn't prime but he had just beaten Margarito in his previous fight and people had no.1 in the division after that. Many were saying there's no way Floyd would fight him.
And Manny, well, if he was big enough to fight Margarito, Clottey, Cotto etc. and win, then he was certainly big enough to fight Floyd. He did have size disadvantages yes but it never bothered him against other guys. So that's not a good excuse. He was just in with a smarter, better fighter who knew how to use it, so Floyd deserves the credit for that. Everyone has to play to their advantage. It's like discrediting a Manny win because he was naturally faster than someone and used his speed.
