    May uses grant or winning gloves which are big (except in the DLH fight he used reyes)

    And Zab has a little Beatle juice head, so there you go.

    Yeah people will say that these 3 guys are nothing like Pac in terms of ability but that isnt the point. There isnt no one else out there just like pac, but it does help a lot that PBF does have experience fighting fast southpaws, that will certainly help him avoiding left hands.

    And you are bang on that PBF has fought guys closer to Pac than Pac has fought guys like PBF.

    If you notice, just as judah hit pbf with his left, floyd was tripping backwards over judah's lead right foot. So it wasn't the punch that stumbled him, he was tripping over his foot.

    EXACTLY!...He gets angles on his opponents with good footwork and than takes advantage of basically being right next to his oppoent..floyd is excellent at not letting his opponents get angles on him..what lil pac gonna do when his footwork and angles are no longer a factor in the fight...:think..

    I couldn't agree more. This should put an end to people claiming Pac will be too much for PBF. He's at a huge reach disadvantage and he will have to lunge in against the best counter-puncher, most accurate puncher and guy who is just as fast is he is. For this fact alone PBF is the smart pick here. Pac won't be able to get away with those bad habits like he does against everyone else PBF will make him pay time after time. PBF is too good and smart for that.:deal

    People point to it because it's one of the few bad moments that they can point to that PBF had. While on the other hand I could list 20 for Pac. What it really shows is desperation when you reference Corley stunning PBF and immediately after PBF went on to dominate and win the round and PBF being caught off balanced and still wining the round and the fight.:lol:

    Great thread. Hopefully this ends the misconception that Floyd has taken hell from Southpaws that some people carry around in their heads.

    floyd was buzzed by chop chop, knocked down by judah, and sharmba was shot as ****, coming off a knocked the **** out loss to kostya tzyue. The same KT that lost to Ricky Hatton in his very next fight.

    what else ya got?

    Manny people doubt Floyd's power.Larry Merchant was asking 'Do you think Floyd has the power to impose himself on a real welter weight?' then immidiately Floyd KOed Sharmba.

    Another interesting thing is when Floyd fights south paws he doesnt go on the bike,he seems to enjoy beating them and trading shots and taunting them.
