    I'm surprised that only 40 people voted for Manny.

    Cotto is naturally a bigger and stronger boxer than Floyd. Floyd moved up to fought him at 154lbs. Bradley may appeared bigger than Manny, but he was the one who moved up to fought Manny at 147lbs.

    After recently rewatching a bunch of tapes of Floyd, I see that emmanuel will be taking a check hook each time he tries to launch his left cross to the body.

    emmanuel is going to take a bunch of rights to the body whether they be the str8 kind or undercutting type. emmanuel likes to leave his right out sometimes to measure range but doesn't keep his chin leveled and protected. Corley had this habit too, so Floyd would throw knife rights to his pit.

    Once the str8 right to the body is up, Floyd can feint it to connect with it upstairs.

    Spot on. Especially about the part of Manny getting counter by the check hook downstairs. I've been saying the same thing since 2010.

    Manny's squared stance seems like the straight right to the body would be there often. The check hook however, while I see Pac falling into that as well, isn't impossible to anticipate, particularly for a shorter fighter.

    An older Pac is probably worse off against Floyd, but I did get a bit of a sense he's trying to fight smarter.

    People, when it came down to it, would have picked Floyd all along, if they knew anything about styles and boxing. A lot were in denial because he was the bad guy and no one could bear give him any credit, and many, still can't.

    People are just now finally picking Floyd though because they find it excuseable "Pac is older now" "Pac has other interests" While acting like Floyd is some spring chicken :nut
    Floyd is a nightmare for Manny at any weight and at any time. Deal with it.

    Mayweather by Decision.
    (But after watching the Cotto fight again... Floyd better not hang against the ropes like he was trying to do with Miguel that would be Manny's only chance to land huge)

    do you see how wide Bradley's hook is. I've always had issues with this too when it comes to him

    To be fair to Manny... IF Floyd does get hit in recent fights it's that type of shot that lands on him.

    Still Mayweather by UD.

    Now Manny was gassing out towards the end of the Bradley fight,and was taking the first half off of most rounds,and dealing with a what some say is "feather fisted" fighter.. Now if Floyd is connecting with more power he will def wear Manny down...

    I would have gave Pac a shot 3 years ago of a possible KO if he magically landed a bomb,but Pac can not finish a guy off when he has them in trouble..

    Bradley fought out of control for the most part of the time. If he had operated behind the jab, he wouldn't have gotten caught with many close range punches.
