Honestly tell me that Mayweather doesn't have trouble with southpaws.

    Marquez did NOT win a round against Mayweather. At all. Never. Unfortunately. The round he had the most success in, he got dropped. The rounds were not close.

    95%+ of orthodox boxers have trouble with southpaws, that's nothing new. I don't know why it's such a big deal when in comes to Mayweather.:conf

    It depends how you define 'trouble' really. He's beaten every southpaw he's faced.

    Yeah right. Just like Pacquiao beat Marquez on saterday what all the Mayweather fans are complaining about :lol:.

    He certainly din't beat Judah by 10 points, more like 3 with fair judging. Corley fight was a little closer than suggested and Cotto stopped him in 5 less than a year later.

    I remember watchin the Mitchell fight and it was good performance but tbh Mitchell was shot and fighting above his natural weight tbh. He was stopped in 3 by Tysu a year earlier and stopped in 4 by Williams less than a year afterwards and as I said before, the stoppage against Ortiz was bull****.

    I don't get it, Mayweather has won every one of his fights. So how does he have problems with Southpaws? Furthermore, Mayweather has had only about 2 or 3 competitive fights his entire career, and none of those fights were against Southpaws. You could argue that the only Southpaw to clearly win a round against Mayweather is Judah. Then again, the TS also thinks Marquez won 2-4 rounds against Mayweather.

    Mayweather has good lead right hands. Those right hands would trouble Pacquiao a lot, but if you look at Mayweather's footwork which is usually perfect against Orthadox fighters, there are clearly problems against southpaws his guard also lets a lot of CLEAN shots leak in against southpaws where as 1 or two get through against most orthadox fighters.

    Mayweather probably is probably the best at defending himself while against the ropes in the history of boxing, the problem is though that he isn't too good at attacking back and against southpaws he has a few problems. You here all these Mayweather fans jumping for joy because Mayweather won a very clean decision against Marquez who was robbed against Pacquiao. If you want to put the boot on the other foot, Castillo was clearly robbed against Mayweather (although with time *****s have now completely convinced themselves the opposite just as *******s did with Marquez 2) now if a lightweight version of Pac faced that version of Castillo, he probably destroys him.

    Isnt is a fact that the majority of Orthodox fighters have trouble with Southpaws.

    Why would FLoyd be any different. I think what you are finding hard to remember that every Southpaw he has fought he has defeated, so tell me.... How much trouble do they actually present him.

    I think you are Clutching at straws.

    He's never had a close fight with a southpaw. Where's the trouble come from?

    Marquez probably won a round by gift but even in his best round, Floyd knocked him down. I can feel safe giving him one round but honestly, 2-4? Wow...

    Mayweather lost to castillio...But not cuz of castillio's prollems...Floyd was complaining about a shoulder injury since the second round of that fight..LOL..But as far as southpaws go, Floyd knows its a fight for foot positioning so he just lets them put their foot on the outside...he does it on purpous and that is old news..lol...but I just cant remember the last time Floyd lost to a southpaw..To me it seems that everytime he fights them, he destroys them worst than orthodox fighters

    :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: Mayweather lost a few rounds to Judah. Castillo 1&2, DLH, Judah, Hatton, Mosely and Corely were all competative fights. And yes, I genuinely believe Marquez Mayweather was closer than it was made out to be. As I said I gave Marquez 2, maybe 3 but saying he won 4 is no more ******ed than saying he lost all of them.

    Right so in the rematch when Floyd had no shoulder injury the fight wasn't still a razor thin decision? That excuse is just as bad as the ******* leg cramps one.

    I'm sorry, but when you say stuff like Marquez won 3 or 4 rounds against Mayweather or that the Mosley fight was competitive, it's hard to take you seriously. I honestly don't know if you exactly believe this stuff or you're simply trying to get a reaction.

    I don't think Cotto from Pac fight was exactly the same Cotto from his best days. However I don't intend to take anything form that win of Pac.

    Of course Floyd will have a lot of trouble! I'm not saying he won't...only complete morons with no knowledge about boxing say Floyd will roll through Pac with an ease. PBF will probably win but not without a problem. You don't beat #2 p4p fighter without a problem.

    OMG ***** overload. There coming out in force now. Tell me, does Marquez struggle with southpaws? does Hopkins struggle with southpaws? NO, there are some great fighters who don't.

    *****'s talk about Floyd as though he is unbeatable and has no weaknesses when in reality as I've been saying he has the weakness most orthadox fighters have of struggling with south paws, he also stuggles with pressure fighters imo.

    He has never fought a southpaw of Pacquiao's standard either, so why the **** do *****s talk about him scoring a victory as a formality. As I said before, giving Marquez 4 is no more ******ed than giving him none as most *****'s do.
