If its close again, its the leg cramp excuse.
Pac ducks bradley to fight an old marquez..boxing stinks.
If you want to judge them by common opponents then Manny is above Floyd.
He beat Cotto, Hatton, Oscar and Mosley more impressively than Floyd did.
Having close fights with a great like Marquez is nothing to be ashamed about. Floyd had two close fights with Castillo, arguably losing the first in many peoples eyes.
I think the hatton, oscar cotto and moseley that floyd fought were at a far better stage and weight as when they fought manny.
Obviously, im going to side with floyd and dont want to hijack the thread by talking about manny and floyds opponents but you wisely brought them up.
Floyd:-
Hatton-undefeated.(was never the same after floyd)
Oscar-his weight, his ring, his gloves, his rules.
Mosely:- after beating margacheato, no one wanted to fight him, even offered to do a catchweight with manny.
Cotto:- at his weight and not after a loss.
Weight makes all the difference.
Manny is great fighter but those common opponents were all at a disadvantage when fighting manny.
