    I noticed that when Floyd is doing his characteristic mitt workout with his uncle, that his uncle still stands in an orthodox stance even though Pac is southpaw. I also noticed this when Floyd was preparing to fight Victor Ortiz.

    Shouldn't his Uncle switch to a southpaw stance? I guess the mitt workout is mainly for timing, but I wonder if any of you also noticed this?

    I've also noticed floyd doesn't go half as fast as he used to. It doesn't matter at this point, floyd and Pacquiao aren't going to learn much new to boxing. Now its just making sure his body can do what he wants it to do.

    I remember him saying roger can't keep up a while ago, Floyd was getting annoyed roger was getting tired and couldn't keep up.

    maybe but they do different style of mitts. i never understoid mayweathers mitts work. to me it looks like roger is doing all most of the work slapping floyds gloves. but hey it works for him. roach is more traditional on the mitts
