    I remember everytime people said Floyd had troubles with southpaws i.e. Judah and Corley, that Pac was going to destory Floyd because hes a more dangerous southpaw. Turns out Judah did way better against Floyd than Pac. LOL

    Judah taught Floyd plenty in that fight. If you look closely, he's always used the adjustments he made in that fight against other southpaws he's fought.

    Floyd has lots of experience with southpaws. He's now fought eight of them.

    Agreed. Manny just didn't know what to do against the Defense and movement

    People overstate the success Judah had against Floyd. I thought Mayweather won every round from 5-11. He may have won round 12 as well, but he was mostly playing keep away. Judah had really good rounds in the 2nd and 4h. Pacquiao had really good rounds in the 4th and 6th. I'm not sure why anyone would believe that a master boxer with a great straight right would have problems with the southpaw stance.

    agreed and at least judah tried different attacks. Pac just kept coming forward and didnt show any adjustments

    Yup, Judah was defintely more dangerous than pac when he and Floyd fought.
