Story about Floyd Sr not wanting his son to fight southpaws? (old story)

[Jiddu Dali]

I agree it didn't have anything to do with Judah's stamina really. But he has been known to run out of ideas, not knowing how to adapt. Yoel Judah in his corner is just about useless.

He had the talent to give Mayweather a great fight but not the mentality.

I respect your opinion, but in no way did Zab give Mayweather any problems in their fight past the 2nd round....once Judah realized Mayweather was faster and stronger he curled up into a little ball and ran backwards all night

i have a question, why do you guys think floyd is more offensive fighting southpaws? just wonderin'.

1. Floyd has a great right

2. His style defense doesn't work well with lefties

[Jiddu Dali]

Corley landed quite a few more than just one solid punch in that fight.

Unless these punches didn't happen:

yes he got hit,....but he didnt get hit as much as Pac did vs Marquez..

Yes corley landed a few shots in the fight, he is a good, fast fighter...plus he is a counterpunching southpaw...Manny isnt..

fact remains, Corley was dominated from rd 1-12

Mayweather was not faster by any means. I'm not sure if he was stronger either, only mentally.

Floyd didn't exactly seem to be having an easy time with Judah even in rounds 3, 4 & 5:



At the end of the fight Mayweather described Judah as a "frontrunner" whom he knew would fold in the later rounds:



I wouldn't disagree with him.

No one is making Pacquiao's defense out to be great. The question is once again whether he can get any offense going against Mayweather, to make a competitive fight out of it. Pacquiao is no Judah nor Corley, he is clearly a class above and has the ability to hurt anyone he lands punches on at 147.

i don't think he was hurt but zab was landing clean shots. zab looked great in the early rounds.

Judah had the first 4. Floyd did a great job adjusting tho. Hard to defend against a shot in the nuts too.

thank god pacquiao doesn't have a right hand.

He rocked Cotto with a right

Zab wasnt as mentally tough as Mayweather yes....I agree

Zab has over 40 Pro fights, began boxing at the age of six and compiled an amateur record of 110–5. He was a two-time US national champion and three-time New York Golden Gloves champion. He also won the 1996 PAL national championship.

wasnt mentally tough?...no stamina? front runner?..I doubt that was the reason..........

Man Mayweather is mentally tougher than every fighter he fights. The fact of the matter is that Judah thought he would be faster and stronger and he wasnt.

Mayweather didnt have trouble with Zab the first 4 rounds, he was figuring out what Zab brought to the fight. Once he realized all he had was a left hand then Mayweather opened up and let HIS hands go......

Why wasnt Zab Judah so FAST once Mayweather decided to let his hands go?......I WONDER WHY

I agree he is no Judah or Corley, Pac is easier to hit then they are. Judah & Corley IMO are the same fighter...just slick, counter punching southpaws.....Manny is NOT a counter punching southpaw, and he throws a lot of punches witch allow for openings to counter.......Maywweather wont have to chase Pac down and watch for his counter's....Manny will come to him and attempt to turn the fight into a slug fest which IMO wont work in his favor...........I could be wrong

He rocked Cotto with a right

fluke.

pacquiao never hurts anyone with the right.
