Floyd vs Oscar and Shane and the "asset book" of the PBF camp

Don't think anybody would argue Shane and Oscar were the 2 best the Floyd has faced. What is very interesting about these two fights is that in both Floyd could have lost as easily as he won. Against Oscar he was not throwing enough punches to keep Oscar from rallying and vs Shane he was nearly knocked out before Shane stopped attacking. Floyd did not have either fighter hurt.

Now look at Manny vs Oscar - Oscar did not even have a prayer.
Manny vs Cotto (who beat Shane) Cotto hit Manny better than Shane hit Floyd and Manny did not even flinch and put a whooping on Cotto.

Floyd had some problems with these two because they both have left hooks which makes it harder to defend than facing the typical one two fighter. he has avoided multi dimensional fighters his entire career and replaced facing them with his trash talk and marketing.

The fact that the in the last 5 MP fights ZERO of his opponents had any shot of any other outcome except for being demolished.

If Floyd had serious knockout power to bring to the table it would be a different story. Mark my words there is no way he will fight Manny. Manny has the whole page on the checklist of assets Mayweather avoids to secure his undefeated record. It is a stylistic nightmare for Floyd and after getting rocked vs a Mosley who had only about 50% of his sharpness on his punches and a history of ducking the dangerous why would this time be any different? Floyd is concocting a plan to face 2-3 more fighters that fit the mold for him to get an easy decision or who will walk straight in for his counters. The con job is over me. After Manny received the fighter of the decade and seeing Floyd out on his feet vs Shane I can close the book with Manny forever above the name Floyd Mayweather.

So the theory hear is that Mayweather has issues with the left hook, and he won't fight Pacquiao who is a southpaw because of his issues with the left hook?:huh. Call me skeptial if you like but southpaws don't have left hooks.
