I see alot of similarities between these 2 styles matchups that go beyond "southpaw vs orthodox". I also see alot of key differences. List what you think are similarities or differences and I will post mine a little bit later.
counter puncher vs high work rate fighter. but mayweather is better than hopkins and pacquiao is better than calzaghe so this fight is on another level.
similarites floyd and hopkins both counter punchers, joe and manny both high workrate fast southpaws differences Floyd fights better in the pocket than hopkins less likely to gas due to age imo Manny hits alot harder than joe also better technique.
