Instead, he didn't offer anything more than a Zab Judah and let Floyd coast to an easy victory.

So yes, I was wrong, I gave too much credit to Manny.
Floyd walked Zab down and was putting pressure on for the stoppage. Last night Floyd was content to minimize punching opportunities for both by constantly moving (like he did vs Oscar and Baldi). Effective for winning fights, but not for making fans. I honestly thought Floyd would take over late and put pressure on fir the stoppage late. Effective, but not a great performance.
I agree 100% and as much as I am a Floyd fan, I've said here many times that Floyd's great performances are long behind him. He's an old man, he's rich as fuck and set for life, he's gone 19 years undefeated and he's just looking to close out his career with his "0" intact. He's not going to take risks, he's not going to be exciting, he's going to try to win and take as little damage as possible then ride into the sunset.
