It definitely wasn't a Mike Tyson fight. While boring, Floyd has it down to a science, he controlled the whole thing and Manny didn't really have an answer. While not the raw power and savagery of say a Mike Tyson fight, it was very calculated, more thought put into tactics and moves then power. That's what Floyd's good at. He knew he might not have much of a chance going toe to toe with Manny using the same tactics, just duking it out, so he changed it up, he out thought Manny and came up with a different game plan. While not a win by KO, a win is still a win, and who can blame him, with that much money on the table.
