In the first 3 fights, Manny landed an average 160.3 punches per fight on Marquez.
Against Mayweather, Manny landed half of that - 81 punches in total.
And most importantly, Floyd won a wide, uncontroversial decision over Pac.
So you really think Floyd should have fought more like JMM? Yeah, it would have been more entertaining for the fans, but why make anything harder than it needs to be?
And again, why do you have to be a KO artist to be considered great? Floyd has a 54% KO ratio... not great, but SRR (if you just look at his wins) only has a 62% KO ratio, and he's considered TBE. So your logic is full of holes and inconsistencies, as is usually the case with Floyd haters.
