I do think Floyd is happy to get on his bike especially in late rounds where he is so far ahead only a ktfo would change things. I'm not saying he is not a great fighter but he is content letting a fight end with a whimper rather than a bang. Floyd Sr. Has actually addressed these tactics as saving wear and tear and extending his longevity. I buy Floyd's fights and usually don't regret doing so but Floyd isn't the fighter to watch if you are looking for going in for the kill. I watch Floyd for his slickness and his expertise but I think one of Floyd's teams ideology is keep the fights and the money coming. I think this permeates Floyd's mind in the ring which is great for us to appreciate his defense which to be honest is another reason I buy his fights. Nothing wrong with what Floyd I'd doing, but I think it is one of the reasons so many people say his fights are boring
I have no doubt Manny could ride hid ten speed just as well as Floyd. Manny footwork is superb. He through Bradley off all night, that's why Bradley screws up his ankle every time he fights Floyd. If Manny did play things s bit cautious ala Floyd's Tour DeFrance method, no doubt Manny would be undefeated although I do think Floyd would take Manny in the Tour DeFrance
