    You're probably right but who cares? Beating FlIVd now would mean very little if anything at this point. It'd be another big paycheck but that's about it. Manny should forget FlIVd and go after the young guns. He could really put an exclamation on his career by knocking off a couple of those guys.

    im sure manny would stop floyd today. floyds reflexes are gone for competing at this level. he looked like crap vs connor and even that japanese schoolboy was landing all kinds of slaps on him. floyd knows. manny isnt the same fighter either, but you still cant take many shots from him and stay on your feet, he still got world class legs and speed, and the tank seems big enough to handle a tough pace still. it wouldnt be pretty.

    I'm not a Floyd fan, but Broner made Pac miss, blocked, rode shots, to a degree. I know both are old now, but i'd edge Floyd by decision.

    Manny wouldv have beaten Floyd anytime between 2009 -2019
    in a FAIR FIGHT !!!! But no one got an even break against Floyd in Vegas. The IV gate scandal was disgraceful

    Manny doesn’t have tools to beat Floyd. Manny is great, a generational talent but stylistically he doesn’t have the skill set to trouble Floyd. Floyd would get off first, he’d smother Manny on the inside and do enough to win rounds. The jab to the body and lead right would keep Manny guessing and looking indecisive just like it did in the first fight.

    Countering would also make a difference. Manny got shy from Floyd’s right hand when they did fight. If they had fought 10 years ago, it definitely would have been more exciting, but the same guy probably wins.

    You'd have to make Pac the favorite based on activity, but if Mayweather could come back after not fighting real boxing comp since 2015 and win, it would eliminate any doubt about who is the greater fighter.

    PAC is afraid of Horn. No robbery. PAC was roughed up and manhandled and beat.

    A prime pac Beats Mayweather despite being at a massive size disadvantage.


    Old washed up pac loses to Mayweather because of said age and size disadvantage

    I am a huge Manny fan, but this is just the sad truth. The rematch would look similar to the first.... maybe better on Manny's part, but still a lost.

    I definitely think its a better fight than the first one was... and I do think its a winnable one.

    Not gonna lie... I'd still tune in, only because I do think that Pac does have a chance now.

    Mayweather whoops Pac even worse in the rematch. Could you guys not see how shot Pacquaio is? Even in that exhibition fight he just had, Floyd was still super accurate. Manny had no foot or head movement. Mayweather would potshot him to death.

    It will be Tarver vs Jones II all over again. A fitting end to this saga.
