Floyd was just far too advanced for Manny, always was and always will be.

    Them are not the facts. They are opinion, like what I say is opinion.

    Pac was more reckless and that is what would have aided him more. Floyd hasn't threw in combinations for years, so Pac trying to overwhelm him would be better than trying to out duke him like he did this year. When Pac attacked in their fight, that is when he had some success. When he was just standing in front of Floyd, looking for his openings and ultimately doing nothing, that is when Floyd lead off and had success. The old Pac didn't just stand in front of his opponent dithering.

    Yes he would get hit more, but considering five years ago boxers who hit harder than Floyd couldn't KO Pac, plus considering Floyd couldn't KO Pac either, then I would imagine he would have been fine five years ago.

    As for Pac not cutting the ring off - he actually did. Pac had Floyd, who was far more willing to use his feet than he did in the Maidana fights, on the ropes many times, but, because he was trying to look for his openings instead of just going in for the kill like he used to do, it ended up with both guys posturing for long periods.

    Like I said, I still think Floyd wins, but, for me, Pac five years ago would have been the toughest fight of Floyd's career. Yes, Pac would have made mistakes and been made to look foolish at times, but, that would be because he was taking risks and some of those risks would have paid off. Stylistically, I think a fight between these two five years ago would have been a little like Calzaghe - Hopkins. Mayweather doing the cleaner work and making Pac look amateurish at times, but Pac getting success with his work rate.

    Manny's boxing resume and accomplishments is miles ahead from Floyd.

    Moral victories at best. Floyd made easy work not only of Manny but he's greatest rival JMM showing he clearly is on a different plateau. There's no denying it.

    nope. he did not advance a lot. he was always retreating, hugging, running and making distance to prevent a fight. too scared to make exchanges.

    floyd's camp is advancing a rematch since his win is again questionable? probably the only atg with a lot of questionable wins due to very defensive boxing style and always just scoring points to win.
