    Good Post. Most people who say that Floyd has trouble with soutpaws are reaching, becasue they're desparate for some kind of hope or something to make them think Manny can beat him. Anything is possible in boxing but I see Manny getting schooled.

    Yes, people don't realize that only reason that he has been hit cleanly or buzz is because he's been the aggressor in all his fights with the southpaw. Meaning he has a solid chin, and he's willing to get hit. Notice also, all the southpaw fighter, Corley, Judah and Mitchell were all fast and slick fighters. Meaning he's fought fighters more close to Pac style than Pac has fought fighters towards his style. Pac has no experience with fighting slick fighters with defense. This is an edge for Mayweather.

    Good post!

    Is it just me or does Floyd's gloves look massive in the Judah fight?!

    Good point. I think a lot of people go hard on Mayweather - the guy is a masterful boxer.

    These vids also show that if Floyd wanted he could be the best pressure fighter in boxing. Thats educated pressure right there. Floyds walking Judah down and still not getting hit much.

    you make a very good point:good...Mayweather well be more aggressive vs Manny because I dont think Manny can fight going backwards.....

    Also...Corley & Judah were all counter punching southpaws...floyd had to create his own openings.....vs Manny....all the openings to counter will be right infront of his eyes:admin:thumbsup

    Mayweather is more offensive vs Offensive fighters....I think he will be more aggressive vs Pac because he will be bigger, faster & stronger.....also he will be the better defender and more accurate puncher

    he steps to the side he is getting hooked.....Manny is not technical enough to beat Mayweather...he is entirely too offensive
