    ....in terms of news headlines all the time?

    If we look at various news sites on the web, he's always there. He's always the main topic(all kinds)
    about his personal life in and out of boxing.

    I guess there's no other sports celebrity that can beat him when it comes
    to popularity except in Hollywood.

    its because he is boxing. hes dlh status when it comes to superstardom except with the villain twist.

    without foyd, nobody would care about manny. now that pacs been exposed his popularity has shrunken simply because the public now realizes he cant beat pbf.

    on to the next one.

    If you wanna talk real talk as to why he beats Manny it's not hard.

    Floyd knows how to fight tall and long. He was taught this as a youngster and surley perfected it as he got older. Pac has a short jab and to disrupt Floyd you need to be/have 2 things.

    1st you need a jab to mess up his pace and take the pace of the fight away from him. Manny does not have a long jab and brings it back low at times...Floyd's best weapon is his pull right counter where he consistently able to time opponents.

    2nd you need to have strength (big shoulders also help) and be able to fight on the inside so you can push him around. Manny isn't strong on the inside by any means and likes to "dip out" (as we call it in the boxing gym) before an inside fight can develop.

    Floyd's footwork is levels above Manny's and he takes angles off opponents much better. His footwork would control the pace of the fight along with Floyd's jab and counter right hands.

    Floyd works off of YOUR mistakes. Manny likes to cross his feet when coming in...it looks like he is literally running at you while throwing wild punches...all good with a Margarito or a Cotto, but when you run into a counter puncher who can make you pay and keep you HANDCUFFED then it's going to be a long night.

    Last is Floyd's defense. It will take a big man to crack it and this was something that has always been said before Manny beat Oscar. The commentators, trainers giving interviews, fighters, fans, media, etc etc... always said it would take a big fighter to beat Floyd. Manny is not big.

    Floyd stops Manny inside of 10. To those who point out Shane or Marquez or Cotto...yea they don't commit to their punches like Manny. Manny overcommits a lot and I can see Floyd dropping his back foot when Manny does his little "running 1-2-3" and popping Manny with something he never sees coming.

    Floyd TKO 10. Ref stops it on accumulation.
