There is no question as to Floyd being the best boxer. But I think Manny is the best fighter. It will be an interesting fight. I used to think Floyd, with all his skills, will box his way to a points victory, but who knows. Manny is so unpredictable and awkward. How do you train against that? Manny is much better than he was when he fought Marquez. So learning from the Marquez fight will not give anyone an advantage (ask Cottto, Hatton and DLH). With Floyd, you have boxing science at its peak. But his being so orthodox can be his folly. There are manny boxers you can spar with that can emulate (maybe not equal) the fighting style of Floyd. Freddie will have to solve the shoulder roll defense. But who do you get to emulate Manny as a sparring partner? Interesting fight indeed.
