People on on the wrong track w/ lefties and Floyd!!

Good points, i think the only flaw in this thinking is that the difference In those southpaws was all were with the exception of Mitchell at worse case scenario equal in size to May, Pacquiao is much smaller, and while you are correct that Pac i do believe is on another level speedwise than those fighters and a couple were able to pose a different kind of success and problem. As someone else here mentioned Floyd's power punch connect % was also outrageous against those southpaws. And in the case of Corley especially Floyd fought a very offensive strategy.

 

True

 

I think that had to do more with the fact that Clottey is a huge WW, i don't think anyone ever confused Clottey with being a good counter-puncher. If they did, shame I them.

 

That's a pretty huge one though... Lol plus both MAB fights were close, yes hee stopped him in the f first one, but it was close up to that point. EM is a good counter-puncher, so that's 3, not 1. And with those 3 being the only elite level counter-punchers on his resume, I'd say my assessment is still very valid.

You tried to get on my level though. Nice try.

 

I will admit i didn't see the 1st MAB fight, i did the 2nd, and it indeed was very close. Now back to that only one thing, again that was a huge 1, but since there was also EM was also a counter-puncher and he Did beat Pacquiao, that makes it 2, and since there are only 3 elite level counter-punchers on his resume (i don't give a **** about those others) that makes 2 out of 3 that he had trouble with. 2 of 3 constitutes a problem.

 

Now back to May and southpaws, you can't say the same. 1 won 2, 3 possibly 4 rounds. As Virgil Hunter was quoted saying earlier 8 rds to 4 is not struggling with someone, that's a butt whooping.

 

Really, because it was the right hand (of both Corley and Mosley) that were the only 2punches to ever visibly hurt May.

 

Lol, ok if you say so. I actually agree that a style besides the bullying style that has been too only to trouble him would work. And it has a lot to do with the left hand. But it is again nothin that Manny possesses. And that it's a good fundamentally sound jab with a powerful right behind it. I have long said the only "boxer" i believe could have beat him was Vernon Forrest. And i truly believe that. Again though Pacquiao doesn't possess that ability. Truth is Pacquiao is very one dimensional. He does fight from awkward angles, he is very fast and had really good pop. But he often is off balance his hands are usually really low when he jumps out, he has trouble with counter-punchers because he is open when he jumps in and out, he is very fundamentally flawed, and his athleticism (speed) has allowed him to get away with it against the likes of most he had fought. May is a different animal who will figure those flaws quickly, will time his speed and will capitalize.
