    Crap southpaws*

    Judah has lost every big fight in his career other than a fluke KO against Spinks.

    Ortiz wasn't able to beat Peterson, who lost 10 rounds to Timothy Bradley.

    The point is the Southpaw angle doesn't bother Mayweather one bit and Manny being a Southpaw will not be an issue in the fight. Him not having a jab to offset Floyd and having sloppy foot work to deal with Floyd's will do Manny in among other things.

    Floyd has never fought an elite southpaw.

    Judah lost to Baldomir, Clottey, Cotto, Mayweather, Spinks, Tsyzu, Matthysse

    Ortiz didnt beat Peterson who wasn't a champion at 140??

    :patsch

    I love how *****s have no clue that the equivalent punch of the orthodox jab is the lead left. If the jab is effective for an orthedox fighter like the straight left will be effective for the southpaw.

    The right jab should be used more for feints against Floyd to open up the left. Just like Judah did.

    You keep saying Southpaw as if that is a factor in the fight. Floyd has no problem with the Southpaw stance/angle. I don't care who it is. Manny being a Southpaw will not be a huge factor. Manny not being able to cut the ring off and lack of having a jab will be a factor. Also Manny can't fight on the inside which the Southpaw stance becomes a non factor even more bc they will both be more squared up on the inside.

    If you think Manny being a Southpaw will give him an advantage then explain that to me bc Floyd has proven that the angle doesn't bother him much at all.

    I have a clue about it. Bottom line is Manny will have to cover ground on a guy who has fast feet and the best timing in boxing and he will need a jab to offset Floyd and keep him guessing. I don't see how you can't see that.

    You don't know what you're talking about, Floyd would have trouble with a prime Paul Williams, Winky Wright and countless other legitimate southpaws.


    You're saying because Mayweather beat every southpaw he fought that means something, even though the southpaws he fought weren't even on his level?

    I'm done talking to you.

    Floyd has a problem with the straight left hand. Be it an orthodox jab or a southpaw lead left. That is the problem igonrant *****s have. They like to say that you need to have a good jab to beat Floyd and Manny has no jab. But they don't get is that its not he jab but the straight left in general that gives Floyd problems.

    It does mean something when he beat every last one that he faced and only lost 3 rounds combined against them. Then you have people like you saying he has trouble with them. What kind of sense does that make. Stop talking to me then.:patsch I don't care. You don't have a clue. Vernon Forrest wasn't a Southpaw either. (You don't know what you are talking about):rofl

    Manny will throw his jab plenty and it will serve its purpose. The southpaw jab serves an entirely different purpose than the orthodox jab. I don't see how you cant see that.

    I do see that but you think he just needs it to feint Floyd and land his straight left. He is going to need to do better than that. That is the same **** he tried with Marquez in their fight a few weeks ago and you see how that worked out.

    :patsch:rofl Floyd has lost 3 rounds against 7 or 8 Southpaws combined and you think he has trouble with them. :rofl:rofl:patsch Now you are trying to say "well he hasn't faced an elite Southpaw. :patsch Still doesn't change the fact that he hasn't had any problems with Southpaws.
