    I see you do nothing to refute the fact that Zab's straight left is superior to Manny's. Nor does his resume reflect that Pac has faster hands than a prime Zab.

    Nobody's handspeed, I think, has ever given Mayweather problems like Zab's did. Zab also, I think, won the cleanest rounds against an undefeated fighter in mayweather.

    And his resume isn't legendary, but he can say that he's fought the best.- he BEAT matthysse... he lost to Clottey who had only 2 losses at the time against margo and baldomir. Khan when he is past prime. Cotto who was an undefeated beast. Kostya and Floyd who are ATG. And spinks who was a unified champion... who he redeemed himself against. Baldo is the only black spot on his career...

    EVERYBODY LOSES TO MOST OF THESE GUYS

    Zab really was a very good fighter at his best..

    The problem was always his composure.... A zebra doesn't change it's stripes....

    You don't get to brag when you lead at halftime and end up getting beaten by 10+ pts when the game is over.

    This thread just sums up this forum. So few peopel are willing to have objectional debates. It's just a case of picking one fighter to support to the death no matter what, like they're your child. It's ok for your favourite fighter to have weaknesses! That goes for both the *****s and the *******s.

    Floyd is so good people go nitpicking. he caught clean a few times and all of a sudden it's a weakness :lol:

    The point is that Floyd's shoulder roll and when just standing in the pocket is vulnerable to a southpaw stance. Even moreso when it's a combination puncher. Even moreso when it's someone known for lateral movement and attacking from multiple angles. Even moreso when it's someone who matches his speed. Even moreso when he's packing power in both hands. Definitely even moreso when all these factors are combined. Those Zab gifs he was only throwing 1-2's. Pac rains punches from all angles. In short, if Floyd chooses to make himself a stationary target he's in for a world of hurt. The only way to negate Pac's offense is to stay out of range and to let him come to you linearly where he can be predictable. This was the Shane/JMM blueprint and even at that it's not as effective as one may think because you limit your activity and offense as well. And Pac has shown that he can win these types of tactical rounds simply by outworking the opponent.

    It's pretty impressive despite all that, these are the only gifs anybody can come up with of him getting hit and only one of those gifs were flush :lol:

    I would consider Judah and Ortiz as converted southpaws.

    pac's straight left vs floyd's straight right?

    floyd's straight right wins. Pac is a sucker for the right. floyd can parry/deflect the straight left with a high guard.
