You can't beat floyd by just outworking him and he's shown that time and time again. Mann'ys best chance is to fight a jean pascal/david haye fight which is to stay outside then come in randomly and surprise floyd (which i don't see him doing). The fact that floyd fights tall and manny is at a reach disadvantage as well doesn't bode well for him. (most of the guys that stunned floyd had long arms)

Although none of the southpaws that Floyd has fought were on the same level as Manny, but they did had longer reach than Manny. Most seems to underestimate it, but using your reach can be one of the few keys factor of winning a fight if you can use it properly and effectively. They didn't had to lunged/leaped in too much to landed their straight left hand punches because they had long reach to stayed in balance and and threw them.
I've re-watched the JMM-Manny II bout twice yesterday, and Manny had to constantly lunged/leaped in numerous times to landed his shots off first when JMM would forced him to fought at distance. Keep in mind that both Manny and JMM has identical reach length, but he still had trouble with JMM's straight right hand punches even when they fought at long range.Last edited by Carpe Diem; 09-27-2011, 02:01 PM.
