Ending the MYTH that "Mayweather has trouble with SouthPaws"

You're proving my point for me. How did Floyd get the impression Judah was a front runner? I'll tell you, because the man has 2 eyes and saw for himself. The Baldomir fight put out a dark cloud on Zab's cardio and of course Floyd took advantage. Floyd wouldn't call Pac a front runner because he isn't. Pac has NEVER shown a problem with his gas tank or signs of being really tired. Zab has. Even if it was only once, that's still enough. If you know Boxing (which I'm assuming you do) you wouldn't need an announcer to tell you what you see.

 

That's one of Floyd's many strange opinions and sarcasm from you. What do your 2 eyes show you?

 

Regardless of what you thing zab work ethic was good enough for him to become two time world champ in too weight devisions. Zab's high octane was good enough in his past fights. Zab would put enough hurt on his opponents that they didn't have enough left after the six round to mount too take advantage of Zab's slow down.. Fighter that were able to fend off Zab attack and enough left after the 6 round were usually beat the hell up with the exception of Floyd , Clotty.

Clotty and Floyd were able to use their defense to avoid damage and pressure Zab then take over the fight in the later half.

 

Very true. But elite P4P fighters (which I still hope to see Judah become) either put on a show all night long or they get you out of there. I've been following Zab's career since 5th grade and it really sucks that he's where he is right now, trying to become a contender again.

 

Roger Mayweather: "He's a southpaw. I don't want you messing with southpaws. They do everything backwards."

PBF: "Southpaw nothing. ill drop him in three."

Videos simply show that Floyd is equally effective against southpaws and knows how to use the highguard as well as the straight right to take over. On a side note, was noone else impressed at how such a "runner" was able to switch to an amazing pressure fighter when needed?

 

i agree floyd is open to get hit a little more against southpaws BUT he's a lot more aggressive, has a mean body attack against them and his right hand left hook combo is like clockwork.
People always try and hold the judah fight against him but they should really look at it in a more positive light of him again adapting and finding the formula to win. Zab likes to mount his attacks and combinations of the jab and from round 1 he never established the rhythm with it at all and once he started timing it and countering it zab put it in the holster completely and became completely gunshy. The fact he was getting hammered with body shots didnt help his cause either. Underrated floyd performance

 

Actually videos shown Floyd is clearly NOT as effective against southpaws as he's been hurt and tagged cleanly against every one he's faced.

And it's true that Zab Judah partly lost that fight against Mayweather because he's a headcase. He wilts under pressure.

Which is exactly why he'll be more vulnerable against Manny Pacquaio.

 

you're struggling?

He clips him on the chin with the right hand.

 

Lol

 

It's not a myth...most orthodox fighters have trouble against southpaws.

the only orthodox fighter I've ever seen who is truly dominant against southpaws is King Kostya Tszyu. That guy was a beast...another fighter who Floyd didn't want to have anything to do with.

 

The Mayweather-Tszyu fight didn't happen because Mayweather was an HBO fighter and Tszyu was a showtime fighter. Mayweather mentioned specifically wanting that fight after he beat Bruselles.

"I would love to fight Kostya Tszyu,” Mayweather said. “If the money's right, I'll go to Russia to fight him. I just want to show I'm the best. But with HBO and Showtime, I know it's going to be hard to make the fight."

Mayweather left 140 because he couldn't get any other big fights there.
