He even 'bobbed and weaved', something I've never seen him do before.
Totally agreed.Manny has improved alot,and he makes him even more dangerous.

And Floyd would be the biggest, fastest, and strongest fighter Pacquiao has ever faced.

Remember,Manny is no longer as 1 dimensional as he used to be and his hand speed is blurring,anyone who gets trapped on the ropes v Manny is in trouble.
His speed is more "blurring" than Floyd's? No way.
You're right a fighter trapped against the ropes against Manny is in trouble. No doubt about that one. But how exactly does Manny go about trapping Floyd on the ropes? How do you cut off the rung against the fighter with the best side-to-side movement in the sport?
I'm not sure,Floyd i probably faster but Manny's handspeed is ridiculous and I don't care who you are,when a guy has fast hand speed,throws combinations and has power in BOTH hands,he's no walkover for anyone. The ways to defeat speed is with jab,combinations,speed of your own and power,and Manny has all of those in abundance. Again,I stress,Foloyd would be favourite but no way would it be easy or a walk over.
