They are both are past their prime and optimum fitness capabilities. Speed, power and reflexes are likely slightly worse than they would have been 6 years ago. Only due to age.
This doesn't devalue the fight for me personally though.
I think the odds would have been similar/the same a few years ago.
I can obviously see why Floyds the favourite, but he has his weaknesses and has been ducking Manny because of these.
Whatever the outcome, I can't wait for it.
I think Manny wins the Psychological battle already.
Floyd has been ducking Manny for years, doesn't like fighting Southpaws and knows that Manny is the only real threat to his unbeaten record.
Manny's going in the ring with nothing to lose whilst also being two years younger.

Sticking £20 on the draw at 20's.
Guaranteed rematch.
Can't wait for this one, although unfortunately Virgin Media are providing the SD Broadcast only.
Because he picks the easier opponents and he's been called out on it for 3+ years regarding Manny.
Hope Manny knocks the stuffing out of the arrogant prick.
FM is worried, I'd put big money on that being fact.
He's been stalling for a very long time with Manny and now it's come to that point where he officially chickens out or faces his biggest threat.
Luckily for us, it's the latter.
Can't wait for it!
Still waiting for an announcement from FM.
1am over there so likely won't hear anything until at earliest, tonight.
I'll pay the PPV but will probably get one or two others over and split the cost.
That or go to a pub if it's showing.
