Floyd is lucky that he had his homer Cortez in there for Castillo 2, Hatton and Ortiz or the surprise people got from how well Maidana did may not have been a surprise at all.

In the end this is not the same fight as it would have been even 2 years ago let alone 4 or 5. Manny's chances have increased a great deal and his drive is going to be incredible vs Floyds hubris. And if its going to be as easy as some super fans seem to think it is then there will be nothing to brag about. He simply beat another no hoper.
No fight is ever easy but floyd will outbox manny just like he has been outboxed before..its nothing new.

Was Martinez lucky with the punch he threw at Paul Williams or was garcia lucky with the punch against khan?

Don't bring luck into this.

Floyd has had a few close fights with southpaws and adjustments were made to get the win.

Manny has been beaten 5 times already and recently got knocked out by a 40 year old Mexican with dodgy knees.

I deal with facts and history speaks for itself so if your happy to be a speedy southpaw like Judah or Castillo that gave floyd a competitive fight but then LOST then I respect your decision.
