    It's BS. He feels them out like every other fighter he's faced. Once he figure them out, the fight is over. Notice he's beat every last one he's fought.

    Well...the thing is hes great against conventional fighters thats already been proven..We'll just see what he has left vs Ortiz..sofar from seeing the 24/7 with him and his father that will either be a real good thing or a real bad thing for him coming into this fight..I think its going to be the latter.. If you ask me he will probably exchange with Ortiz and come out on the short end of an exchange and probably get his first real knockdown against him

    I believe that Mayweather will struggle v.s. Southpow if he gets in the ring with Pacquiao, but I don't believe that Floyd will struggle vs Ortiz. He knows how to deal with him.

    I think he fights southpaws better than anybody in the game. So if u call that struggling than sure he struggles and wins UD and ko's

    He doesn't struggle with southpaws, but he has shown us on two occassions that he can be hit clean by southpaws.

    He struggles vs bums. He shivered from Cotto and shits in his pants about Emmanuel from General Santos City. Victor Ortiz is gonna win FOTY for beating 2 hypejobs.

    exactly

    People are acting like being a southpaw is a style when it's really a stance.

    A swarmer with good defense troubles Floyd. A defensive countering southpaw can trouble Floyd, not just any kind of southpaw.

    Floyd doesn't struggle with southpaw, that's a stance, not a style.

    He struggled with zab's style who happened to be a southpaw, then kicked his AZZ when he figured it out.

    You mean Zab gassed and then he kicked ass.
    Mosley gassed and then he kicked ass.
    Hatton and JMM gassed b4 the fight just by fighting at 147.
    Ortiz won't gas. Floyd is just looking to get an easy fighter to go toe to toe with a little and he was pleased to see all the mistakes Ortiz makes likes squaring up. Ortiz is a B level fighter. If he doesn't stop him or win 11 of 12 rounds he is not what you thought he was.
