Judah can't do anything other than help Floyd adjust to speed. Period. He's honestly not even a great style. Judah's style is more of Floyd Mayweather's style today. He likes to sit back, pot shot, react, and counter. Judah can try to mimic Pacquiao I guess, but that's all the best quality you're going to get. An "attempt to mimic". And I highly, no I promise that Judah is not a harder puncher. He's just worse all around. Honestly, he's awful. A 40 year old Pacquiao would beat the best version of Judah. Mayweather is going to whoop him in sparring too. He's going to beat him worse now than he did in 2005. The only thing Judah can provide is helping Floyd adjust to the fast hand speed.
Yup. However, I am infatuated with Ronnie Austion's ability to do Mayweather's style and think he would be the best look Pac could get.
10 million punches over nine rounds? What fight were you watching? Anyway, Pacquiao's power at 147lb is vastly overrated. He has speed and pop but not enough to put a decent contender to sleep. His defense is also as leaky as the Titanic. He's exciting to watch but it's really just careful matchmaking, smoke and mirrors.
Careful match-making? He's been at a stylistic disadvantage for many of his fights? Particularly the last two, then all 4 against Marquez.
I think the matchmaking is fighting the opponents at the right time, not really a stylistic advantage. With Rios being the exception. But say Oscar, maybe Hatton, Mosley, Margarito. There's a reason he turned them down when they were hot. Not saying he would've lost otherwise, he just played it safe. Marquez and Bradley are good fights. To clarify, I wouldn't call them cherry picks.
At this level, he is probably just looking for a blend of new (E. Spence) and veteran (Judah, Corley) southpaws to get him used to fighting a southpaw in general since it has been 3 fights since his last southpaw. I doubt Floyd thinks Judah will fight spar him like Pacquiao will fight him. Its just to get some quality work.
Judah definitely has the better chin.:good Chicken dance, knocked unconscious. Let me see, chicken, unconscious...hmmmm Yep Judah lol...
And you won't find anyone out there who can imitate Floyds defense. Once he becomes invisible, it's a wrap.
