Nevertheless I think Floyd exploits Manny's balance, but it will be very difficult to catch all those punches from the angles that Manny throws them. I think the only reason FLoyd fought JMM was to prove to himself that he could he beat Pacman. But yeah Floyd still wins, either on the inside or outside he'll win however he chooses to because he has too much knowledge...
When FLoyd fought Oscar, De La Hoya had the same size advantage weight wise that Margarito had over Manny. Floyd came in at 150 and Oscar was at least 165 for that fight. But it was Oscar, a guy way faster than Margarito, way more skilled, a bigger puncher and a guy who used to beat of Antonio when they sparred together. Oscar still had his speed and he honestly was better defensively than he had been in years.

Against Manny he weighed 148 coming, and actually was outweighed by Manny on fight night.

I give both Manny and Floyd credit for beating Hatton. I think there is no proof Hatton looked bad at welterweight, he just looked bad against southpaws if his career said anything. He looked fast, and extremely sharp when he fought Floyd, but Floyd was sharper and surprisingly a better inside fighter despite the fact Hatton was naturally bigger and stronger. Shane Mosley was overtrained? Give me a break, Marquez didn't use that excuse when their bout was pushed back and he isn't super young, guys like Floyd and Hopkins work hard year round when they are fighting and they don't complain about being overtrained. Mayweather actually trains hard all the way up to the fight which most guys consider suicide. I remember fight week for the Gatti fight, Floyd actually when to a local gym and took all comers, and actually reportedly stopped most of the guys he faced.
