Floyd Sr: I don’t like my son fighting southpaws.

[bojangles1987]

On how he thinks his son would do at middleweight, possibly against someone like champion Sergio Martinez:
“My son is not a big guy. He’s just not a big guy, he’s not big. He’s about 5’8”, maybe 5’7 ½”. He’s just not a big person. I could see him outsmarting Martinez. Yeah, I could see him outsmarting Martinez. One thing about it, I don’t want anybody having an edge over my son because that’s my son, but I never have liked my son fighting southpaws. It’s not that he can’t beat them, because he beat all of them, his record reflects that, but I don’t like my son fighting southpaws. My son fought two southpaws that I know of. He fought one early in his career, pretty close before he got the title and he got cut pretty bad over the eye. Then when he fought Chop Chop Corley, Chop Chop Corley caught him off guard and hit him a couple of times in one fight. Like I said, it’s not that he can’t win because he has won, but I will just say a lot of guys power still come from a different angle and a different size and he’s not a great big guy. There’s no question in my mind that I got the strategy to train my son to offset a lot of this stuff, but I just don’t like him fighting southpaws because stuff comes from a different angle.”

So this is one reason why the fight can't be made.

Southpaws are awkward for everyone, even other southpaws.

Floyd will always have trouble with Pacquiao but the thing is pacquiao is the one of the best southpaws i've seen to date. This aint no Judah in there this time.

[check hook]

floyd does have diffculty fighing southpaws.....at least early on in the fights........and he tends to be more aggressive than is in his nature against southpaws too........

[roughred]

this fight will happen and no mayweather doesnt really believe pacquiao is on steroids. he's just getting into pacquiaos head nice and early ...

[duasto]

Don't talk wet. The reason the fight isn't happening is because Pacquiao will not agree to a drug test. You know this, we all know this

Pacquiao will take the test if the commision runs it ... but when Floyd is the one who is dictating which test to take, no way. There is a big possibility that Floyd will pay the USADA just to make Pacquiao test possitive even not. If the commision runs it it will be fair.

pacquiao and roach arent fools
