    Manny is too fast too powerful too dangerous for Void. We are talking about a different animal. It would be like feeding a helpless dog to a pack of wolves.
    Emmanuel is cut from a much different cloth. Floyd just wants Manny's blood so he can get it from Tygart and drink it hoping to feel the power of the storm.

    I call it even. Manny has faster feet, Floyd is faster at throwing single shots, and Manny is faster at throwing flurries but that may be because Floyd rarely ever throws flurries so we don't see how fast he is at it. I don't think either man has a decisive advantage here. As long as Manny doesn't suffer leg cramps, his movement will trouble Floyd greatly. But the speed of Floyd's single shots will trouble Manny greatly as well. Speed will not the decisive factor in the fight IMO.

    Does anybody factor in arm length? They both throw fast punches of course, but Floyds arms and reflexes have a lot to do with how quickly he gets to the target. So if i were to bet on the two it would be for Floyd just on that debate

    This topic has been dicussed a couple of times already.

    Bottom line is:
    Handspeed, about even.
    Shot per shot, then Floyd.
    Combination-wise, clearly Pac.

    Footspeed, about even.
    Lateral movement, then Pac.
    Upper-body relfexes, clearly Floyd.

    If you want to go further:
    Ring IQ - Floyd
    Power - Pac
    Overall defense - Floyd by a mile
    Overall effective aggression - Pac by a mile.

    Result: Fight of the century if it gets made.

    The Judah KD was legit. Floyd was off balance because he was in the middle of throwing to the body, so he had to extend his stance -- Judah countered him with perfect timing. It was down to balance rather than Floyd being hurt at all, but it was still a KD.

    Their feet were tangled for a split second, and a punch was delivered. Was it a knockdown? Ill go with what the ref decided since he was the closest.
