    Manny also seemed to have an off night, although I think Floyd's defense and movement had a lot to do with that. For what was on the line I expected both to go for broke and try to close the show, but Manny couldn't and Floyd wouldn't. Neither really suffered much punishment in this fight, but I didn't think either looked nearly as good as they did in their primes.

    Floyd has already said he will have another fight and I'm sure Manny has at least one more in him. Neither will make big money unless they fight a big name, so it will be interesting to see who each chooses. Floyd's best options (in order) would be: Cotto, Thurman, Danny Garcia and then Khan. Manny should fight Danny Garcia and then retire.
    You can't be serious and say Danny Garcia Vs Mayweather.

    Danny Garcia is so slow, that he'll come 3rd in a two man 100m race and your gonna have to measure his race time with a calendar.

    Danny Garcia's luck is running out. I thought he was lucky to beat Peterson and Herrara.

    Cotto ? Why fight someone he has beaten before fair and sq ?

    Khan ? That would be interesting. Thurman ? I just don't think he has the style to beat Floyd.

    Cotto gets Floyd the lineal middleweight title and will sell to Hispanics and casual fans. Agree that Garcia is overrated n that is why I say he would be the right guy for Floyd to take on (undefeated, limited and flawed fighter). Thurman is big and hyped, Floyd schools him like he did Canelo. Khan is chinny but has a HUGE Brit following and is viewed as a legitimate threat. Of that group I feel like Khan is the biggest threat at this point, but is still the underdog.

    I thought it was a cracking fight, went exactly how I expected (apart from the scorecards being a little closer).

    Floyd's defense was superior to Manny's offense. Great showing for two old boys.

    Anyone that ever thought they were gonna get Hagler-Hearns, Benn-G Man or Gatti-Ward - "don't know shit about boxing"

    I stayed up for it and radio 5 live was 20 seconds behind the fight I was watching. Still worth staying up for. Not paying.

    It was in German but the radio is always better anyway.

    I really enjoyed it and think most floyd fans will be the same. I seen a lot of casual fans on Twitter saying it was boring and that's fine but if your a floyd fan it's just the way he fights now, I myself was hoping he would go for the ko since manny was the smallest guy floyds faced in a good.
    Also it was good for floyd to finally get the win over pacman but I think every floyd fan knew pacman didn't have much of a chance.

    Well who do you think last fight, Floyd has nothing to prove Garcia will do it's a easy fight to bring
    down a excellent carer, and why not have a easy fight he's 38 and beat everybody.

    Yea I don't mind floyd taking an easy fight like Garcia for his last fight, he's beat everyone else and has nothing else to prove.
