I think you are going a little to far in saying floyd mayweather has not have the intelligance to out wit manny. Floyd is by far the cleverist and probably the most technicaliy gifted boxer today.
I also think this fight will happen. Has to happen as there is way way to much money on the table.
Manny has achieved so much and deserves all his plaudits but the name floyd keeps popping up for a reason.
The guys never touched down and still remains undefeated. How ever much people hate him, you cannot deny what an achievment that is in 40 odd fights of proffesional boxing.
Iv never seen a guy train so hard and pepare so well for a fight. I was actually impressed with the mosley fight when he looked in alot of trouble in the 2nd or 3rd round, to come back and not only win the fight, but totally frustrate mosley. In a way, floyd has much more to lose as his legacy is on the line. Manny has lost 3 times but has blown everyone away in different weights and has his sights set on politics.
I really do like both boxers and hope they reach some kind of middle ground with the drug testing, money etc so the fans get to see one of the best fights of all time.
