Ending the MYTH that "Mayweather has trouble with SouthPaws"

lets keep things black and white... Corley hurt him, plain and simple

and i just rewatched the early rounds of the Judah fight, and yeah i was right.. Zab tagged him with a right hook that knocked him down

so back to what i said, Corley hurt him and Judah dropped him...you can say these 2 things dont count, dont matter, or whatever else you believe or would like to believe, but the truth is, they did happen ...and i'll leave it at that, and you can take it and break it however u please

if you look at both fighter lead foot, you can see zab pick up his foot to let floyd fall. The punch itself did not hurt floyd he was thrown off balance from zab foot and the punch pushing him off balance..

Im not sure why some people hold on to this lil segment as a sign of floyd weakness, because all it was really was a loss of balance.

 

Lets see floyd fought baldi and zab at the welter weight limit ,,, Pac on the other hand has not fought at the welter weight limit.. Let get this straight he fought a welter weight but not a the welter weight limit , there is a difference .

 

Though the punch may or may not have hurt Floyd when Zab landed it, there's a good chance that it will when Pac does. I've seen alot of Floyd's fights and I believe his defense is less air-tight against southpaws than orthodox fighters. Especially when it comes to power shots.

 

There a good chance that any punch can hurt you when it lands and that goes for Pac also .. So many people are falling into the trap that Pac has a ***** chin and can't be hurt by floyd , which is bull ****. Floyd is a conservative boxer meaning he look to go the distance or wait for his chance to land a solid shot.

Floyd is more the willing to put some punches on pac and then let those punches soak in till later in the round when pac is less potent .. which is something cotto should have done but didn't ..

I do see floyd trying to over power pac the way cotto did .. cotto and floyd both fought two fighter from the lower weights with two different styles . Cotto tried to over power the smaller fighter and ended getting winded,and KOed. floyd on the other hand, respected the smaller fighter and waited for opening and beat his opponent technically..

Floyd will not be as reckless as cotto against pac and he defiantly will not give pac as many opportunity to catch him.

 

Not in Pac's league...and shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath. Makes as much sense as using Torrecampo and Singsurat as a guide to beating Pac.

 

none of what you posted is on topic.

true I did ramble a bit only because Im doing homework, sorry.

basically what I said there wont be many moment for pac to catch Floyd making mistakes. Zab was only able to really capitalize on one mistake floyd made, but Floyd conditioning bailed him out..

 

Good post but there's something you're forgetting, all of the three fighters stunned Mayweather with good punches landed flush.

 

Good example !!! how many counter did cotto walk into vs how many counter floyd walked into like that ?

The one you see now is the only one floyd walked into he never gave Zab a second chance, cotto on the other hand walked into many. Cotto foolishly kept plowing forward, even when he saw he was having lil success. Pac will not get many chances if any to catch floyd, even if he does he can't charge straight recklessly, with out the risk of getting caught himself.

 

Excellent response.

This is a 50/50 fight, really. I don't think ANYONE will have a prediction solid about this one if it's on, even the ones that do will have nightmares about the complete opposite happening.

 

Lets be honest too, does anyone think Floyd's gonna have a chance fighting Pac like he did Shamba Mitchell and Judah? I'd really like to see him stand directly in front of Pac and try to press him like he did against those fighters.
