In this fight, I think Floyd will actually look better than he has since the Canelo fight. I think his regimen with Ariza is going to be big help for his mobility and stamina throughout the fight. Look at Maidana's performance (with Ariza) in the first Floyd fight. He hardly got tired. Second fight (without Ariza) he gassed EARLY. Ariza gets his guys supremely conditioned and with a guy with Floyd's talent and dedication, I think it's going to pay off big on fight night.
Both fighters are still good, but just as Floyd has lost a step, Pac has as well. He's not as explosive and damaging as he once was, so we have to judge both guys on their more recent fights. Not fights from their highlight reels 5 or so years ago.
I respect this post. This is a very good breakdown. If we judge by recent fights. The last three or so, Manny has the advantage because he's fought the more versatile type opponents and always has. It's much harder to fight like Manny than Floyd. That will hurt him in this fight. Manny is smarter than ever in the ring, Floyd looks worn and bored. He's too rich now to win this fight. He'll start thinking about not getting stopped, his houses, his cars, etc. Manny wins a decision, in my opinion.
