    I like the new site.

    Do you have any close ups off Manny back then, i bet you cant even recognise it's him.

    Really interesting to see this, combined with Manny saying how Floyd was much more offensively aggressive as an amateur.

    Obviously, Floyd turned pro, the head gear came off, and he decided he didn't like getting hit in the head like that no more.... He actually had pretty lousy defense on the inside back then!

    Things sure do change when you turn pro.

    Lousy defense? I saw him make Sanchez miss an awful lot in that clip, and at one point he actually had Auggie miss with every single shot in a 5 or 6 punch combo.

    He looked pretty sound to me, even if not as refined as he'd later become.

    ^ He got hit in the head a lot. Watch it again.
