Floyd doesn't seem quite the same to me since his comeback. He was perhaps rusty against Marquez, but I think just as Mosley has slipped too far, Floyd might have slipped a little himself. He's much more flatfooted and arguably that little bit slower. I think Manny will have plenty of opportunities to find the target. It won't be like Hatton, but Manny will be able to make his chances IMO.
IMO Floyd has enough pop to hurt Pacquiao as well, and i thought that he looked as fast as ever last night, i just kinda felt that he was trying to put more weight into his shots in order to get Mosley to respect his power a bit
Perhaps he was. I agree that he could very well hurt Manny too, but I doubt Floyd has the same pop as Manny. Manny needs to be careful, but I really don't think Floyd has the pop of a Mosley or Pac. Pac gets hit a fair bit and he just regroups and comes on back at you. Hatton bothered Floyd for the first 5 rounds and he has nothing like Pacs speed, movement, southpaw stance nor power. I see nothing to suggest that Floyd can deal with Manny in the same way he did Marquez, Mosley nor even Hatton.

It's a fight that needs to happen. It will be huge. Manny should take the tests, and Floyd should not get too greedy at the negotiation table.
