The problem with Mayweather is he boxes like it is soccer. He simply avoids damage and doesn't allow scoring.
He is arguably the best defensive fighter of all-time.
It is also makes him undeniably boring.
Manny is an offensive fighter.
He's more beatable because he will take hits to deliver them.
He will box or he will slug it out.
While it makes sense to assume Mayweather wins this fight any real fan shoot be hoping he doesn't.
What would be exciting is to see Mayweather lose than come out of his defensive shell and actually fight in a rematch.
The fact Mayweather is easily the best fighter alive is one of the biggest problems with the sport.
Your post is representative of how Mayweather fought most of his career. If you watch his last 10 fights or so.... He TAKES IT TO the opponent. Not so defensive, more offensive (that's why I think he took/takes steroids)..
Manny is beatable simply because he is not Mayweather.... Meaning: Floyd sees every shot he us throwing, he sees just about every move the opponent is making. Manny will attack but doesn't have same vision.
It didn't happen earlier because Money was scared and kept fighting chumps to keep his unbeaten record. So yeah, it's a shame. We need another true champion to lift boxing from the ashes. We need another Mike Tyson or Oscar De La Hoya in the sport of boxing.
He was concerned that he could lose. But he fought top fighters. Not all fighter fight all in their prime fighters. Just doesn't happen.
Again, I don't even think it will be close.
