    We know manny likes to fight with a fat ring, and that Floyd is the top boxer. Floyd is great at fighting off the backfoot, and manny needs space to use his style.

    Who does a large ring benefit more?

    Depends on what strategy Floyd comes with, but I'd assume him

    Interesting question. Not sure. No matter the size of the ring, Floyd rarely allows himself to get trapped. Just ask Oscar. BUT MANNY HAS TO HAVE SOME SPACING IN ORDER FOR HIM TO BE AFFECTIVE. And he has no inside game to speak of.

    I will say Manny. Not confident in the answer though. I gotta look at some fight footage.

    Won't change anything. Mayweather will be fighting off the back foot, but he won't be on his bike like Khan or Haye. Both are too good for it to make a difference anyway.

    I agree with neither. Floyds not really a runner. Floyd will let an opponent get him on the ropes, he'll let him throw combos that he times and counters.

    Bigger ring the longer the walk back to Elerbee. They lose an extra second or two with a 20 foot ring or bigger.
