The reason floyd will beat Manny is

public wants manny but sharps like floyd as seen on 20k bets early on... anyway i dont think there will be a fix here because too much pride is at stake and too much money already is in the purse. manny would not have gotten the record if he did not have the boxing i.q. even if roach lays the game plan, he still is not the one boxing in ring and making the adjustments as what manny did vs cotto. also, if manny picked his fights like floyd did picking fights he knew he would win and knew he had the advantage, then you would think that manny has a way superior boxing i.q because obviously he would dominate every opponent with his defense and offense. floyd has not fought someone like manny, he has fought slow fighters and not even close to mannys speed and accuracy, his head movements will be negated once manny lets him taste his speed and power.

not only is he a hard hitter, he also takes hard hits, look at his face after the cotto fight, other fighters would have not went that long taking those punches from cotto during the first 4 rounds, but manny even lets cotto hit him for FREE but still was not even rattled. mayweather is a fast puncher but i dont know if he has the power like mannys when he does his speed thing, i also dont think his defense will be a factor, it only seems like a great factor for floyd during his previous fights and this is only because his opponents were slow and always stands in front of him. this will be a great fight because it could go other way, they will not fight sparring partners that would equal both opponents, they have not faced anyone like each other, and the only time they will face someone as good as the other is on the fight itself, not during sparring not from previous fights, only the day itself so this fight is great and boxing i.q and adjustment capability once the bell rings is the key in beating the other one since they have not faced anyone with the same skill as the other
