Ok here me out. Manny is the only guy who can match him in hand speed and footwork(speed wise). When manny trains well he has unlimited stamina just like Floyd. Manny also has power in both hands. But most important is stamina . Now floyd hasn't knocked out anyone in a very long time (Ortiz doesn't count) . Hatton was the only guy. PAC is the only guy who is a legitimate threat. Do I think he'll win? Prolly not! But if he beats PAC , no one can question if he fought everybody . Fight golovkin? Fight Martinez? Why? They are just too big and not realistic. Fight manny and fight a few more top contenders of your choice and call it a career and no one can say a damn thing. Thekey is manny and you'll be top 5 greatest of all time . Until manny ur career will always be questioned.
^^I really enjoy watching manny fight, I thought his last fight against JMM was the best he had looked probably in the past 2 years or so. Obviously up until the point of him getting knocked out cold. But Manny has no defense- his best defense is actually his blitzkrieg attacks on offense. His kryptonite is someone who is a good counterpuncher. I truly believe Floyd would knock him out by the 7th or 8th round. he's taller, has a MUCH longer reach, best defense since Pep/Whitaker, better footwork and about equal handspeed. If you thought JMM was a bad matchup for Pacman, Floyd would be his absolute worst nightmare.
Defense or not ******* or not. It is possible manny can win because of those attributes . U and I know both know it. Now do I think he'll win? Prolly not? But this is why they actually have fights . He can even win by decision because he is busier . Or a mayweather by pure domination? That too. PAC by ko sure. May by ko of course if manny runs into a shot. Either way I guarantee that it would be money's toughest fight . And if and when he wins then ride of into the sunset as 1 of the greater ever without people always questioning him
Manny has no advantages over Floyd, absolutely none. You can make a claim for handspeed I suppose, but I see them as having close to equal handspeed. Everything else is in Floyd's favor. And FLoyd has a common tendency in making high output punchers punch a lot less when they're in the ring with him. You're not factoring in that Floyd would counter him all night long for however long the fight would last. I'm almost positive he'd knock him out by the 8th round, Manny doesn't do well against counterpunchers in general. And Floyd is the best counterpuncher and defensive fighter in the game.
Handspeed is very close . All attributes point to mayweather except hand speed , punching power , combination and stamina Which ia aomewhat equal.Which stamina , speed being the most dangerous . Like I said I think may would win but would be his toughest fight. Not the dominating bull**** of canelo and guerro which we were sold . I would pick mayweather by the toughest fight of his career
Goddamn people. As a boxing fan why wouldn't you want to see this fight? Fight garcia? Fight ab? Fight Sergio (too big) fight golovkin (too big). He would whoop those 2 and u know it. For all I know he prolly would beat Sergio and golovkin too. They just don't have the physical atteibutes . And if he loses so what they too big anyways. Be a ****ing fan and ask for the fight we wanted to see and still want to see. And if mayweather wins then more power to him and appreciate it. Marquez had him figured out after the first fight. Lets just see mayweather do it and end the damn drama
alright fine, i'll bet you $2000 so I can get 1.5 back. remember this post for if and when the time comes.
U got it. I'll be here and I'm not bsing. If I can bet more i will. If I'm in a bind I will bet a minimum of 1 k like u said originally. Well talk if this fight ever gets made.
