    Just an FYI, the shoulder roll is more than useless against southpaws. Nearly every fighter Floyd has ever had trouble with has been a southpaw, you know why? Shoulder rolls don't work against southpaws. James Toney ran into the same problem in his career, lackluster performances against southpaws.
    it is not useless but it not that effective due to angle of punchs coming.

    But see Jirove vs James Toney which is a close fight seeing similar fight in that.

    But another thing Floyd got more than one weapon in his arsenal like his jab and ring mobility, James Toney is doesnt move that much and sticks with the shoulder roll and rest in one place and goes for counters

        Hey Skils, you never put a sig up for our Hatton/Mayweather bet. I would put a sig up, but I don't know how to. It was 5k right?

          Bringing up Toney v Jirov as an example of southpaw v shoulder roll is absurd, and shows how little you know about boxing. Why don't you bring up a more relevant example like Toney v Nunn.

            Screw this p4p bull****, Calzaghe is the best fighter in the world, not Gayweather. Calzaghe is a more dominant,decisive champion than Floyd.

              because Nunn is a masterful pure boxer and Jirov has a good work rate southpaw similar to Calzaghe but not weight the same because Calzaghe put his punchs in weirder angle unlike Jirov

              and i know little of boxing is true but i know enough to judge how the fight is going to go on.

                      I strongly believe that Joe Calzaghe is the true #1 p4p fighter in boxing ahead of Pacquiao and Mayweather. The Ring p4p rankings are a joke, they're biased towards Americans and predjudiced against European fighters. Calzaghe is (44-0 32 KO's) and he has been the Champ for over 10 years with 21 title defences. Joe wins his fights convincingly and he isn't afraid to take risks in the ring, he is a true warrior. Who do you think is the true #1 P4P fighter out of the big 3?
                      This is the biggest line of crap I have seen on this site in a long time. I will give him credit. Calzaghe looked good against Kessler Saturday night. However, he has only fought and beat two world class opponents in his entire 44-fight career, and the P4P title is not based on your performance in one fight. So in his 21 title defenses, 19 of his opponents have been stiffs who posed no serious threat to him. After Calzaghe beats five Ring Magazine champions in five weight classes or, more modestly, beats five world class opponents, then you can mention his name as a possible P4P contender. For now, call him what he is, a good fighter who has spent most of his career fighting limited competition.
