    It's the left hand. From the shoulder roll D, the orthodox fighter is lined up to the southpaw's biggest shot. It's just useless to use a left shoulder to absorb an incoming left in that scenario.

    Now, if Floyd could utilize the maneuver from the southpaw stance...

              theyre likely on steroids and PEDs.

                There is no big mystery I been following Floyds whole career. His dad always felt that way.

                No one likes fighting Lefties. No one.
                Well if you believe that....... cool. The judah and Corley fights have alot of floyd fans tricked, but if he ever steps in the ring with Pac or Martinez you will see whats up....peace

I would break it down, but Floyd fans aint trying to hear anything other than Floyd is invicible and Floyd is the greatest. I will say this though....he will never fight Martinez and I'm not sold on the Pac fight getting made, but in the case they do, then you will find out real quick.
                  Everything Manny needs to do hinges on being in range and set up, Floyd being longer does not even need to get tricky with what he does just keep Manny out of his opitmal range.

                  Point out how Manny just overcomes that fact because Floyd knows exactly how to utilize this advantage.

                  As for what Sr. says, he ain't Jr. and was not even half the fighter his son is therefore can only talk in genral terms in that southpaws can give him some issues.

                    What about the Pac-JMM fights?

                    We can play that game all day. At the end of the day Mayweather is too smart for him. Every weakness Pac has Floyd will exploit. These two are miles apart upstairs.

                      Let's see Manny in with a real boxing master as his fights against guys who are offensive minded have his fans tricked.


                      See how easy that is
