Kimbo has actually lost his last 3 fights, one of which were straight up striking, which is his specialty. I think Mayweather is one of the greats of all time, even better than his dad, but he has been off too long to take on this quality of a fighter without a warmup match. Even Ali, when coming back from his draft dodging suspension, fought Oscar Bonavena and Jerry Quarry before tackling Joe Frazier, and that turned out not to be enough work.

I love Manny, but IMO he's not a legitimate welterweight. He beat Oscar at that weight, but Oscar is not the same fighter he used to be. He was too slow for Manny. Floyd is a legit welter. He filled out from when he was a kid. I can't see Manny outboxing him and since Floyd is bigger and great defensively, Manny is going to have a tough time taking him out. The way to fight Floyd is to put relentless pressure on him (which Manny can do), but you have to be big enough and strong enough to put a "hurtin" on him when you do get him on the ropes or in the corner.
