Floyd's competition vs Manny's competition

I think both guys competition is very comparable.There are a huge raft of shared opponents but Manny's wins have often seemed more emphatic. Horses for courses, very different styles, personalities and fighters are Floyd and Manny. I don't think one is emphatically better than the other in reality, but Manny is easier for the non boxing anorak to appreciate.

When Manny beat Cotto and in the way that he beat him, he made a believer out of me!

manny was superb against margarito too

alright you could argue all day about the stage of his carear marg was at but he was completely outclassed and battered by a much smaller opponent

floyd is impressive in the way he seems to be unbeatable, but he doesnt have the impressive wins as in manor of victory that manny has in my opinion

i dunno about now, but a few years ago it would have been a fantastic fight in terms of magnitude and a very difficult fight to predict

Superb again and it is far easier for any casual fan to accept manny rather than floyd

The ironic reality is though, that casual fans are far more likely to know than anoraks. They are not so easily distracted by meaningless details like how much money each has made or how you think that Floyd is SO much more skillful."Worlds apart" was the phrase you used, but they are just not. Manny makes it look simple but the guy is not the clueless brawler you would like to think. It's nice to think we are experts but if we really were we would all bet our house on every fight and we don't.
