    The weight has slowed him down tho...
    Floyd Mayweather Jr. usually figures them out before he even steps in the ring. Let's face it, if he could hammer Hatton in 5 like he did Gatti he would. He has slowed some.

      Yes. All fighters that use his style defense have extreme difficulty with southpaws.

        Yea it's not just accomplishments Pacquiao has, he has the direct style to beat Mayweather. It's actually a bad style match up for Mayweather.

        He has a high workrate, he punches hard, he's blazing fast and he's tough as nails. On top of that he's a southpaw and his left hand is so fast. Mayweather is not a big guy i'm curious if he can even hurt Pacquiao at this stage.

        Mayweather has lost rounds from lieing on the ropes like against DLH and JLC, that would be just terrible if he tried that against a guy like Pacquiao.

            Possibly. Seems it took a while for himt o get going and begin timing Hatton. Kinda like Oscar...and Zab.

              Floyd did the same thing all night, he didn't figure Hatton out, hatton just couldn't take it anymore. he was getting hurt every round only biting down and continuing on the same road. He got hit with so many sneaky right hands and left hooks, It was a great performance by FMJ only FMJ isn't a huge puncher at at 140+ hence why it took a while.

                Well we know the problem with Zab but you got a case for what ur saying...

                Some would say he likes to feel the other man out...

                  I didn't say he figured him out he just waited for a little fatigue to set in and Ricky to get careless...

                  Floyd claims he doesn't watch tape but I think he does...unless Roger gives him very good advice...

                    Oh I think he does as well. Sign of a vet. And an aging fighter who can no longer just impose his will and go about his business.
