good shit, @big baby. I def don't see Manny keeping Mayweather against the ropes consistently, and that's where he flourishes. It'll be a brilliant chess match, though.

The part about the jab being Mayweather's achilles is interesting, never considered that, but I can see how that makes sense. Floyd is such a matador in the ring, that a measured, jab-heavy approach could definitely be successful against him, as opposed to chasing him down and getting made a fool of.

If you didn't read the original article, I think you'd really enjoy it, basically about the stylistic lineage that Floyd is a part of, and the cultural and economic situations that the black code style stemmed from. As more of a casual boxing fan, admittedly, I learned a lot from reading it.
