Did that fight really make people believe that Manny will be able to beat Floyd?

Actually, it's more like... that fight made most people believe Floyd shit his pants last night.

So why would Pacquiao beating Margarito make Floyd more scared of him. When what Mosley did to Margarito was worse and he actually knocked him out and didn't get hit as much as Pacquiao did. Mosley dominated Margarito in a worse way then Pacquiao did and that didn't stop Floyd from fighting him. So why suddenly would Pacquiao beating Margarito make Floyd not want to fight him? I don't get the logic there.

Mayweather while out box Manny like he does anyone else, beating Margarito doesn't change thing. I mean come on Mosley beat Margarito quicker Manny did so not like he did anything special.

He deformed Marg's face. That's special enough to me.

more special then not taking any punishment and knocking him out?

Ofcourse. Pac broke Marg's facial bone. Pac inflicted more damage to Marg than Mosely did. The fight should've stopped 2 rounds early. Did you see Pac gesture when he looked at the ref? He had sympathy for him. He basically stopped punishing Marg. He could've knocked him out, but he chose not to.

Exactly, Pac eased up toward the end as Margarito was looking ever more like the Chinese John Merrick.

I think this was more impressive than Mosley's win because Marg was in shape and came to fight. No massive weight loss and no shellshock from being caught with loaded hand wraps. Margarito came to fight and prove a point and got mashed for it. I think this version of Margarito would have done better against Mosley too. Margarito was here to fight.

Well Pac seemingly "taking it easy" on Margarito could (and this may be a bit of a stretch) be seen as a threat to Floyd's pride...I mean I'm sure Floyd would rather not lose and obviously with each fight I see of the both of these guys they both look amazing, but if Floyd was to lose I am sure he'd rather lose close on points, or get KO'd quick, being beat down like Margarito got beat down would be very humbling for a fighter that shows very little humility.
