I think Pac' may well cause Floyd more troubles than he caused Marquez. I also think because Floyd and Marquez are counter punchers, it's quite fashionable to say 'Floyd will be able to counter punch Manny then' when in fact, they are completely different fighters.

But will Floyd be able to position himself and land his sharp, accurate shots. Yes, I admit that he will.

My thoughts were that Manny had been freed from cutting weight and had become a more complete fighter. As you pointed out, it was just that the bigger guys couldn't deal with his speed and came right at him, and against a technical fighter with real knowledge of Ring Generalship he will appear the wild and one dimensional fighter he got by being at the lower weights.

Floyd won't deal with him anywhere near like Marquez did IMO, but he'll do the right things after a tricky first couple of rounds and then win on points fairly comfortably.

Also, let's also remember he doesn't just 'struggle with technicians' just like Arguello didn't always struggle with movers.

Barrera was a complete fighter. Cotto, whilst not as talented as he needed to be when making adjustments to his outlook on fighting during and after the Mosley fight, was no come forward slugger either.

But some quality fighters can stay poised against his swarming southpaw attack and pick him off. Some even has the resiliency to outfight him. I imagine Floyd will go for a performance similar to his one over Marquez rather than the one against Shane.

After all of our debates, all of the words, the hours of discussing it, the rants you've had to put up with, I concede :bowdown

Floyd will win. But not because he beat Marquez or because he's similar to JMM. ;-)

I'm still not certain him beating Manny conclusively would make him a greater fighter than Pacman either.

I've always thought Manny would beat Floyd and still do. I used to say Floyd to you just for arguments sake. :good
