    damn judah landed in single digits in 10 out of the 12 rounds

      Mayweather Sr. is all about the shoulder roll that's what he taught Floyd. But Floyd can fight in high guard also. Mayweather Sr knows that the shoulder roll doesn't work on a southpaw like that but thats all what he knows and everybody that is trained under him brings out the shoulder roll if he in the corner..except Oscar I believe..He likes when Floyd uses it but he can also use the high guard with good foot placement

        You can bet Freddie is putting Manny through some intense paces to counter the shoulder-roll defense.

        A highly active Manny may just force Floyd to up his A Game level a notch or two.

          Mayweather SR made those comments while in prison when Floyd jr was barely a prospect. You're taking it way out of context.

            cause crackhead sr is an Team mayweather insider. he raised his son and knows his weakness against southpaws. that's is why he fears southpaws for his son.

            crackhead sr is not and was never a part of team pac. that's why he isn't a credible source.

                People need to stop looking at the Judah fight as a precedent in deciding the outcome of Mayweather vs Pacquiao.

                Judah is technically better than Pacquiao, he was able to to tag Mayweather by setting his punches up and timing. Pacquiao has a tendency to throw without caution and lunge in.

                  I get it. Only listen to floyd sr.'s opinion when he is a credible source. He s been in boxing over 40yrs. Seen a lot. Trains a lot of fighters. Knows a ton of people in the sport. Is that enough credibility?

You think that it's a simply as Floyd being smarter or that Marquez gave Pac problems, but you are completely overlooking alot of other variables in this matchup.

                    Like I said, you guys hold Floyd to a standard even he, roger and sr. don't even hold him to. Go ahead and keep thinking Floyd is invincible.
                    It's ironic that you critisize people for basing their opinions on the Pacquiao -Marquez fight when you're basing your opinion on something that has never happened. Mayweather has dominated every southpaw he has faced. Pacquiao struggled twice with counter punching Marquez. You keep complaining about " Mayweathers fans" preventing you from expressing your opinions which is really just punking out. If you have something profound or concrete to say you would have said it by now. Stop frontin.
