    Many will say it's the same thing.

    I see a distinct difference in the characterization and think it's the 'not to lose' demeanor that leaves many fans and observers of sport with a dissatisfaction.

    By not implementing the tactics or making the adjustments he had to make to have a chance of winning, it was Manny who didn't fight to win but only did enough to give the impression he was 'trying hard'.

    Fair points.

    How would you characterize Floyd's and Manny's styles and general dispositions throughout their respected careers?
