Floyd is most likely pushing this fight behind the scenes because he feels with Canelo's power that Canelo would put Manny to sleep the way JMM did.... and thus he doesn't have to fight Manny, at all and can claim victory by virtue of beating everyone that Manny had been beaten by.

Floyd simply just does not want to fight Manny... and it has nothing to do with Floyd feeling he's better, but it is clear that Manny's style is one that would create problems for Floyd.
