Does Floyd have a stylistic vulnerability to southpaws?

[DLT]

Never saw the Corley fight, but against Judah he had a problem with Judah's handspeed. Floyd's use to being faster than most fighters, it wasn't the case against Judah and might not be against Mosley either.

I think the Southpaw thing with Zab was the bigger problem or the combo of the 2 but Zab's speed is different than Pac's speed. I think Zab's speed is harder for someone like Floyd to deal with because he's going to pick his spots and then throw a lazer while Pac will be letting his hands go alot so that **** is easier to defend to me

I was watching his fights with Corley and Judah based on my notion that the shoulder roll leaves a blind spot to the right hook, and leaves an angle open for straight lefts.

I had forgotten, but Floyd got hurt by both straight lefts and a right hook against Corley. He also was flash KD against Judah on a right hook. I think he was hit cleaner and harder by southpaw punches than I have ever seen him hit by orthodox.

Whats up with the MYTH that Mayweather has trouble with southpaws?


Floyd Mayweather vs DEMARCUS CORLEY

Mayweather Landed 47% of his 50 punches per round and 53% of his power shots.

Mayweather Outlanded Corley 283-150 in total punches.

Mayweather Dropped Corley in 8th & 10th rounds, landing 28 power shots in 8th & 34 in 10th.

OH and Mayweather shoulder rolled all night on Corley...

8th & 10th rounds...problems with southpaws?


Mayweather Finished strong, outlanding Corley 120-44 in power shots over last 5 rounds.

Scoring: 119-107; 118-108; 119-108


Floyd Mayweather vs Zab Judah

Mayweather dropped first 2 rounds on 2 cards after getting outlanded 11-5 in power shots in opening 6 minutes. Start of round 3 All Floyd from then on, as he outlanded Judah 153-53 in power shots, including 28-2 in the 9th. Floyd played some “D” as well, as Judah landed in single digits in total connects in 10 of 12 rounds.

Rounds 7,8 & 9..Utter dominance


Overall, Mayweather landed 205 of 441 (46%) total punches to 89 of 485 (18%) for Zab.

Floyd also landed 158 of 322 (49%) power shots to 64 of 177 (36%) for Judah, who managed to land just 25 of 308 jabs (8%).

Scoring: 116-112; 117-111; 119-109.


I sincerely hope this isn't ALL Freddie Roach has to go off of to prepare Manny Pacquiao for Floyd Mayweather

I am not saying Floyd didn't convincingly win those fights. I am saying he got hit cleaner and harder by southpaws than by any other fighter, to the point of even being stunned several times by a guy of Corley's caliber.

[Weebler I]

WEEBLER..you are better than this man

Zab landed in single digits from rounds 3-12...

how in the hell is that Mayweather having problems with his hand speed?

My recollection is that Judah went round for round with him until the 6th and scored the first KD of Mayweather's career (tho it was missed). From the halfway point it was all Floyd but Judah's speed made him competitive until he gassed.

Yeah, I said that in another post. From the 5th on that **** was straight domination where Zab didnt even come close to winning another round. Haterz try to say that Zab just got tired or fades at that time but the truth is Floyd figured his ass out and then it was over

[Tsukiyomi]

That isn't even an argument against my point. I am talking on technical terms and very specifically, and you are coming at me with scorecards and compubox.

your recollection is wrong....

from rounds 3-12 Zab Judah landed in single digits.....

single digits means 9 or less

....and Judah didnt gas...thats a myth....

PLEASE rewatch the fight and you will see at the start of the 3rd round Mayweather started letting his hands go and from then on the fight wasnt even close

Actually Corley hit him clean several times, and stunned him more than once. He got dominated in the end of course, but that isn't the point.
