    I dont know Kel it would be so huge. Surley its tempting to him it would seal up everything for ever, I think Floyd would study and out smart Manny and catch him comming in and screw with his timing. I dont think he fears Manny, if he does, then why Marquez ?
    Afraid of Manny? No but as for the studying him IMO Roach will be the counter to that, he knows Floyd will be paying close attention to him and will hacve Manny coming in the ring with a gameplan that will surprise everyone...Not saying who will win but it will be no walk over......

    I will have something next week on how I think it will play out if it happens

    Look forward to that Daxx. I just think of the trouble Zab gave him with speed alone, then once you add more angles and more heart into the mix......does Floyd really want it? Maybe he will need it? Thank f*ck he has money issues, that's all I say lol

    You can call me crazy and a fanboy, but as much as Roach is smart SO IS FLOYD, HIS UNCLE AND HIS FATHER. We all know what Floyd is capable and I dont see him getting on a bike and running, Floyd has the offense, defense footwork and stamina to put it on Mannny. Im not saying its going to be a walk over but I see him cutting up Manny and comprehensively beating him.

    they say timing negates speed, what about when 1 fighter is a fast superb counterpuncher with spot on anticipation and timing?

    Personally I can not pick a winner it is a fight we will have to see before knowing the answer...it is a pickem....

    Floyd has not been beaten yet and really has not been away from boxing that long so in truth he is still prime.....

    Manny on the other hand seems to be like a mini phenom.....so much to work on yet he always seems to fix anything that seems to be a weakness.....I agree with the fact the Mayweathers are smart trainers amd fighter but the combo of Freddie and Manny seem to be a perfect team at the moment.....

    I really think the Marquez fight will tell us a lot

    Great article Daxx.

    Floyd wanted a second Oscar fight but Oscar wouldn't give him the percentage of the purse he thought he was due so he decided to retire, at least temporarily. If he had a ton of money in the bank and was capable of living off the interest I don't think he'd be coming back but it looks like he's potless already and doesn't have a choice if he wants to maintain his current lifestyle. Long term he's going to keep coming back for big fights, blowing the dough and doing it again till he gets beat, then maybe even continuing to fight for smaller purses, long term things don't look good for him unless he can radically change his spending habits. But at least this first fight will be interesting seeing what he's got left.

    Hopefully he isn't broke and those rumours about him taking time out to recover from hand problems are true and he's been in the gym keeping fit for the last year and a half and will come back at the same level he left. We get to find out in September.

    Im with you on this. Floyds timing is precise both in and out of the ring regarding competition placment / counter timing. Also which angles, which speed, which fight, when and how as well as the controversial: which opposition, only when its best for him ploy too. Hope he is aiming high and in threes.

    I can explain it.
    But I cant understand it for you.
