    I have listed three fighters in which I think we can decide when both Floyd and Manny were in their absolute primes.

    I go for their fights against Hatton , coming off fighting Oscar meaning they were full of confidence having beaten the biggest name in boxing , but also probably being the bigger man against Hatton as both were coming down from highers weights and both looked sensational. Since that point Floyd has taken time out and fights a little differently , Manny has had some tough fights and is starting to look tired.

    They should have fought in 09, it would have been good.
