yeah, this is old news but he still admits it. The problem is that the 3 guys everyone wants to see Floyd fight are Southpaws. He's gotten better with it anyways. I think he kills Pac, Williams, & Sergio if they were righties but them being soutpaw makes them very interesting fights. As long as Floyd doesnt get caught with some BS early, I think he clearly beats Pac & Sergio in a 12 round fight. Williams may be different but only time will tell

[baracuda]

ah- hah....how much more if his son was fighting the best south paw of all time!............

[Kagami Taiga]

fact is most trainers dnt like their fighter fightin southpaws.

[roxy]

Who would want to fight them? They do everything different and the punches fighters have been ducking, come from different places. I imagine 20 years ago fighters couldn't avoid them and be high ranked.

so the fight ain't gonna happen mayweathers will not take any risk

[Rocky and Mickey are watching the film of the first fight]

Mickey: Left handed fighters they're the worst. They try to come in there with that big left. Right's no damn good. They ought to outlaw southpaws!

Rocky Balboa: Why didn't you tell me that before?

Mickey: I didn't want to hurt your feelings.

lmao, classic but true!!

[gibo]

Why is FMS worried about it? He doesn't train Floyd Jr. Roger does!!!!! The brains in this club is ROGER!!!

[Devils Advocate]

That was a classic line lol, I loved that Mickey was telling him the truth nobody likes fighting a lefty not even lefties. Paul Williams got the breaks beat of him from Quintana and Martinez but he managed to pull it out in the later rounds against Martinez. Looks like Mayweather is going to have to make nice with Judah and Maybe look to bring Devon Alexander in for some southpaw sparring partners.
