    Manny honestly embarrassed himself with that performance. Floyd easily dominated him from start to finish.

    Styles make fights. Manny didn't embarrass himself, Floyd is just that good and is a difficult opponent for Manny stylistically especially at this stage in Manny's career.

    Maidana I, yes?

    Maidana II? Again, probably yes.

    Cotto? About the same. Floyd whopped them both.

    Maybe, but Cotto I though was able to hurt Floyd like no else ever has except for that Mosley shot and landed more shots especially jabs then Manny did, which I thought was impossible.

    Maidana just kept coming and throwing and physically bulling Floyd in a lot of rounds between the two fights.

    It was competitive. IMO Mayweather won 7 and Pacman won 5.

    The key differences were made by Floyd distance control, foot speed and movement.

    What i'm shocked by was the fact Floyd actually threw more and it wasn't even a lot of punches thrown by Floyd.

    At the same time Pac was "supposedly" was faster and could move quicker on his feet.

    Indeed, Manny couldn't even do much when Floyd went against the ropes.

    yeah, but the guys who have had the most success, against mayweatther have been bigger and stronger then mayweather. Castillo, De la hoya, Cotto, Maidana. you can time speed.

    I agree Maidana gave Floyd a lot more to think about and was a better fighter in both fights then Manny just now
