Pac will be Floyd's kryptonite believe me. Otherwise he will not asked this OST if he really believed himself he can beat him. Pac already on Floyd's mind and his nerves. Subconsciously he thought he might be lost in this fight. Pac has this aura his opponents feel they already lost even before they climb in the ring.
When Mayweather beat Corrales, HBO wanted him to unify against Casamayor. a southpaw. Mayweather wanted no part of it. When Mayweather beat Jose Luis Castillo for one of the lightweight titles, his #1 contender was Stevie Johnston( a southpaw) Mayweather refused to fight him. Mayweather insisted Johnston fought a title elimination first and Stevie Johnston beat Alejandro Gonzalez he was supposed to get a shot at Mayweather but Mayweather refused. Johnston sat around a year waiting and then Mayweather insisted he fight another elimination bout. He never got his chance.
Mayweather has only fought 4 southpaws in over forty bouts a record among all champions. Other champions like Jones Jr. and Bernard Hopkins both fought over ten each in title defenses alone.
Why do you think Mayweather doesn't want to fight them????
Why did Judah look alot better against Mayweather than Baldomir? Because he's a southpaw!!
How does a fighter like Paul Spadafora beat up Mayweather in the gym? Because.....
Mayweather's avoidence of the unorthodox stance is the most overlooked part of his career.
even floyd sr want no southpaw

I read it brotha.
But it's not like he got his ass kicked despite getting hit.
He could against Floyd, but just because he gets hit by them doesn't mean he's gonna get blown out.
And he never got dropped by one OR shaken that much. Like Floyd did against Judah and Corley from left hands.
Well firstly Floyd didn't get "dropped", his hand brushing the floore is hardly a "ko", secondly Pac was shaken by JMM from a big right hand, it's in the video 'Easy Work' posted a few pages back, also the gist of my point was if he's getting hit with clean right hands by Clottey then he's gonna have his work cut out when he faces Floyd, cause Floyd is ten times more accurate and ten times more faster than Clottey.
Newsflash. EVERYONE gets hit in a fight.
If they don't win any of the rounds, it's a dumb thing to state, don't ya think?
Did you even read my post properly? :rolleyes: i talked about him getting hit with right hands at will by JMM and passed comment about HIS LAST FIGHT of which he got hit with right upper-cuts YET AGAIN!!, please try to comprehend points being made before responding to posts.
With all his ability with speed and defensive ability, Floyd controls the distance and angle he wants to fight. He instinctively moves half of steps or completely steps away to keep the distance that he wants to fight.
Actually Floyd does fight southpaws.
Vernon Forrest, god bless and rest his soul, refused to fight southpaws.
That one is proven.
Lennox Lewis comes to mind.
that fight was in 2000 10 years ago, Manny was eating right hands from Marquez 2 years ago
OK, but has Floyd fought anybody as unorthodox as Augustus since then?
Or are you in the belief that Judah and Corley due to their southpaw stance are just as unorthodox as Augustus?
Even by Floyd own admission Augustus has been the toughest fight of his career. Tougher than Castillo mind you...
Oscar won more rounds than Augustus did. But, I still consider Augustus fight tougher than Oscar.
That's why Clottey won so many rounds, right?
Erm did i mention whether Clottey won rounds? :pat: i merely mentioned that Pac was getting hit with upper-cuts, are you disputing that claim?!! :rofl:
It doesnt get much mention. But Floyd REALLY attacks lefties to the body.
Corley
Mitchell was stopped by a Body shot.
Judah was peppered with body shots.
Pacs body will be tested. Shane was hurt bad by this one. Hes not a lefty I know but Floyds body punching is so sick.

Repost gif wasnt working.
well this is what a great right handed counterpuncher can do to Pac with a right hand...
now other then 1 punch that Judah landed & one punch that Corley landed...please show me a southpaw that has given Floyd problems....
i'll wait...
Augustus unorthodox style? Didn't he land a few punches on Floyd? Didn't he give Floyd fits? Was Floyd not leaking in that fight?
Also is Pac capable of throwing over 100 punches a round? Didn't Chavez throw 100 punches in a few rounds? And, landed some on Floyd?
Now I am not saying Pac will win. I am not even saying Pac will give Floyd a hard time.
But, I think the abilities that Chavez, Augustus, Judah, and Corley had. Pac also has it all in one. Which IMO makes it an intriguing fight.
