how do u see the fight going ?

Honestly, I think it will be anticlimactic. Styles makes fights, it's always said. Just because we've been wanting this fight to happen for 6 years does not mean that fact is now null and void. No bones about it, I'm a Floyd fan, favorite athlete ever but I don't think that Manny is equipped with the tools to beat Floyd. Floyd can fight this from distance due to longer reach and immaculate timing or fight up close, because his inside game is stellar as well. Manny best bet is to try to stick and move. I was just reading a transcript of an interview of Roach and he mentioned that he talked to Cotto and asked him what was the most difficult thing about Floyd and he said his footwork. For years, Roach has been screaming from the rooftops that Floyd has lost his legs. Taking that to say, he's hoping that Floyd is a plodding tank in the ring when they fight. That is simply not going to be the case. Is he fleet of foot as he used to be? Of course not, but whatever the limits a 38 year old man could reach, he's there physically. Roger and Floyd Sr, in candid moments, have mentioned that Vernon Forrest and Oscar, respectively, had the tools to beat Floyd. Why? Great jab and bigger than Floyd for starters. Manny isn't either. Floyd is in the ring with a smaller man, there is going to be a visual :dwillhuh: when you see them in the ring together. There is going to be a stark contrast. Floyd is a solid 147 pounder while I'm sure Manny can still get down to 140. Floyd fights tall, Floyd fights smart, Floyd does have flaws but they won't be exploited here. Ultimately, Floyd can be Floyd and win the fight going away, Manny is going to have to be something he isn't to do it. That is how I can sum this up.

That's how I see it. I haven't seen Floyd be the bigger fighter in a while. And when I did it was JMM. I love JMM, but he made that shyt look like child's play. It didn't even look like they were even close to being in the same class.

But styles makes fights so who knows. shyt for 100 cash I want action :laff:

So a nikka who got koed and outboxed by mayorga, and took a l to a vanilla white boy like Mora is supposed to beat Floyd....:stopitslime:

Forrest my nikka, RIP and all of that but a fighter like chino would give him that work, let alone Floyd....

it goes both ways though breh....manny has faced the physically bigger fighter between both of them in antonio margarito...regardless of what ppl think of him or that fight he ended his career...finished him up..nearly killed him...all these applied to what he did to a significantly bigger fighter..the only real significant difference between them physically is the reach..floyd isn't some giant ass nikka...he's small just like manny's small

Bigger,Stronger, Jab. That is the holy trinity = Floyd's Kryptonite and even then, I'd put money on Floyd.
