    and that's why manny's a threat....

    but who was the last opponent manny fought that had speed?

    cos Mayweather's speed is gonna be a far bigger problem in this fight because of his reach advantage, he'll dictate the range and he'll get off first....

    People say Floyd has only fought sluggers. These people don't know the difference between a slugger and a boxer-puncher. Cotto is a boxer-puncher, and so is Canelo.

    If Chop Woods Jr think Maidana bit him hard, PAC is going to bite him harder.

    Who says Mayweather hasn't fought fast guys?

    Everyone knows Judah was extremely fast.

    Last time he fought someone really fast was Judah.. and that guy took the majority of the early rounds until he ran out of gas and Floyd adjusted.

    Who, other than Pacquiao, was really fast?

    Khan? He wasn't an option until last year.

    Sparred with Khan many times, Algieri was above average, Bradley had fast hands. Of course, Algieri and Bradley are not elite speed like Khan, Pac, and Floyd, but they're still above average. Elite speed like the other three are rare to come by so you're not going to see many opponents like that.

    Yeah but they're still extremely plodder-like. Slow, heavy feet. Still similar.

    Again, who was fast that Floyd could have fought? Bradley is with Top Rank.

    There is no rule that says he can't fight Top Rank fighters. That is a rule he invented himself as an excuse.
