    What's everyone's thoughts on roll-on, stick and spray as the best deodorant? I personally use a combination of stick for dry effectiveness and the spray for that delicious smell.

    the problem with this is that... you can get 1 gif per fight, but you will never be able to find two. Floyd will never let you land that same punch significantly more than once.


    Pacs only chance would be to knock floyd out off that 1 punch which absolutely isn't happening...

    as someone said earlier the bigger problem would be the right hook

    in the third gif, floyd's head snaps back after getting hit. he then seems to duck his head below the belt line again. smart move to avoid the succeeding punches. place your head in a position where the opponent will find it hard to hit you.

    So he can get hit here and there,the Ortiz clip was his 2nd punch.. In that whole round he landed maybe 5 punches but I understand you gotta reach.

    Here you go at 1:24 beautiful answer to straight left, i just love how Floyd haters think because of shoulder roll defense that he just cant do anything against straight left hand:patsch

    Glancing left countered by glancing left. Neither punch did much of anything. Floyd had to move so far away to avoid the left that hook had absolutely nothing on it. Do you think that floyd is such an amazing fighter that the laws of physics and human physiology do not apply to floyd, which is not beyond the reasoning *****s.

    Floyd was scoring shot and Ortiz left missed, and thats just to explain *******s that is not defenseless against straight left, but i guess you like that myth too.

    Who said he was defenseless? It catches him a lot more than other punches. Both from Orthodox fighters and southpaws the left hand is a problem for Floyd be it jabs or leads respectively.

    And its not just he cross guard/shoulder roll. Floyd likes to keep his field of vision open. Even when he puts up the high guard straight lefts get through because its a very open high guard.

    I saw Pacquiao hit JMM with a few flush right hooks in the last fight and Marquez didn't seem too impressed...

    People always bring up the zab fight. You do realize PBF won that like 9-3.

    Cotto won a few rounds vs Pac but no one acts like he was on the verge of a shutout the way they do with zab v floyd

    Floyd has faced 7 Southpaw's in his career. He has only lost 3, maybe 4 rounds against them all combined. This myth that he has trouble with Southpaw's is ******ed.

    Well Floyd has won every fight. So what exactly are people supposed to look at when trying to break Floyd down on film? You can look at the Judah fight and get a lot of insight into how Floyd deals with southpaws. When you are breaking down film from any sport it doesn't matter if the opponent won or lost the film can tell you quite a bit. Actually the film where the opponent won usually tells you much more than when they lost.

    If Pac lands with one similar to Zab Judah's then I have no doubt he takes a knee, Pacman is far more explosive than chicken legs.

    Dont get me wrong though, Mayweather can recover from it but it'd make a helluva fight ...
