Manny’s simple style was never complex enough to beat Mayweather, he’s simply nowhere good enough

    His style lacks complexion, he’s a basic fighter when you dissect it in its entirety.

    There was no chance he was ever beating no Mayweather with his style. Floyd was a far better fighter and way more complex in his boxing

    There’s a reason he won 2 rounds in their fight. Threw less landed almost 60 punches less. That right hand of Floyd was up in his grill the entire night. He was scared of that straight right

    Manny is good if you look at his fight , but Floyd is far more talented and would beat him 100/100 times if they fought.

    You ain’t no beating no Mayweather with basic boxing

    I agree with your basic premise but I think you're selling Manny a little short, he was able to put together interesting combinations of punches and keep guys guessing. Although it's true he relied more on his speed and reflexes, I'm not suggesting he had a super high boxing IQ or anything like that.

    Mate you're talking about something that was being discussed over a decade ago.

    Time to move to classic or time to move on.
