VIDEO: Floyd Mayweather: Techniques vs Southpaw

[SincereDaGreat]

The tendency for all fans, including me, is to give close rounds to the guy we like or the guy we hate least. I also think the announcers affect the way we see a fight too. Floyd has definitely lost rounds just not in the way others have because of his style.

Damn, I can't remember the fight I was watching on Youtube about a week ago but Lampley was calling things from the side that weren't happening in the fight...he would say "OH BIG LEFT or RIGHT" but the replay would show either no connection or a clear block...it was very annoying and if you're not really watching the fight it's very easy to be swade by commentators.

I'm not saying he hasn't lost rounds but people nit pick so much with Floyd that I can bet emotion/hate plays a huge part in the fans judging.

thats generic talk man.....yes you can come with ANGLES when you have an opponent who doesnt move infront of you.

Badabababa I'M LOVIN IT!!!

If people say there's a reason Floyd doesn't fight southpaws there has to be a reason for Pac not fighting Boxer/Counter punchers right???

[SincereDaGreat]

Let's put this in perspective since you want to throw the "compubox numbers don't tell how a fight played out stylistically not to mention they can be wildly inaccurate" card into play. I wouldn't say Pac struggled against Clottey....yet oddly enough, Judah landed at a higher connect % on Clottey than Pac did. Hell, Pac only landed 129 more total punches despite throwing 812 more punches! And since getting hit 150 times is considered "struggling" to you...Pac getting hit 108 times by a guy that threw less than 20 punches in a round in 8 outta 12 rounds must be terrible to you??? See what I did there? Floyd is handily beating these guys and you nitpick by saying "oh well Zab barely threw punches in the last 7 rounds". What's the explanation for a guy who barely threw punches, ala Pac v Clottey, all night?!?! The original poster premise is that while southpaws are a puzzle at first, not just to Floyd but to most fighters, he quickly adjusts and figure them out and the fights play out as most of his fights do (KO or UD...his lone lost card since the damn '90's was in the De la Hoya fight which was questionable). He never said Floyd was invincible or that he goes thru fights getting hit only one time. You're nitpicking and coming up with the crap you do, exposes you as a hater. Even the most staunch Floyd hater (Roach and whoever else has to train their guy to defeat him) will at least admit that Floyd is a hard puzzle to figure out. Hate on his choice of opponents, his lifestyle, etc...but hating on his ring intelligence and adjustment ability makes you sound

LMFAO...great break down!! I said the same ish but you came in with the percentages which shuts down any further debate!!!!

This video shows how quickly he is able to adapt and control a southpaw fighter....Pacquiao will suffer pretty much the same fate....anything Manny comes with Mayweather will adapt and counter...I dont believe Manny is a smarter fighter than Mayweather which will be his downfall...speed & power will not be the key factor in the fight IMO........Smarts, adjustment & adaptation will be!

I quite liked the music.

But i found all of the video totally irrelevant to either Pac or Ortiz. Every fighter possesses different qualities. Its like having a video looking at how Floyd deals with ALL orthadox fighters. Kinda silly.

Interesting vid tho.

Looks very old tho. Only thing that matters is what Floyd can do now. Time will tell.

[fcastro1]

a more complete fighter than he was in 2008 when he fought Marquez?..lol

what has changed in 3 years?

if you dont think pac has improved then i aint talking to you. you must a floyd fanboy. eveyone sees it, he uses his right more effectively he thinks more he has better footwork. you just an idiot every boxing expert can see it. oh wait im talking to ***ing ***** someone who believes in a crackhead and calls it evidence. gtfoh

FFS JMM has talked about Pac's improvements and how they will make this next fight even tougher.

Did Sr. get convicted of smoking crack or selling crack?

[whirlwind]

Because he shouldn't be able to build a false legacy by cheating.... No man should be mentioned in the form of greatness if he hasn't earned it, hence Floyd's statement 100% "ALL NATURAL"...

Would you want a one dimensional midget getting hype for something he hasnt done fairly??

Put it this way so your peasant brain can understand....

WHAT IF FLOYD WAS ON PEDS AND ****, SHOULD HE BE CONSIDERED GREAT??

AND I KNOW YOU ARE GONNA SAY "BUT MANNY HAS NEVER FAILED A TEST"...

TO WHICH I SAY, IF THE COPS PULL YOU OVER AND GIVE YOU A BREATHALYZER TEST, WILL IT DETECT MARIJUANA? WILL IT DETECT *******?

OF COURSE NOT, THEY WOULD NEED DIFFERENT TESTING FOR THAT....

SO IF MANNY IS ON PEDS, AND HES TAKING TEST THAT CANT CATCH THE **** IF THEY TRIED, OF COURSE HE WOULD BE CLEAN!!
JUST AS BONDS, MCGWIRE, SHANE, VITALI, HOLYFIELD ETC.

In short, you mean to say all those 99.99% of those boxers out there who did not take Floyd OST including those Floyd 40 previous fights should be in question or just only Pacquiao right? You Floyd fans are so sure Pac was on PED but then those boxer with the same color of your skin like Hopskin get passed regarding in this issue. You Floyd fans are bunches of disgusting hypocrite.

You can't throw a straight anything in the pocket

Manny can throw any punch in the pocket you dumb ass his arms are shorter

[check hook]

He definitely does adapt. Big southpaw punchers might not give him the chance though.



True enough, just seems so significant with Floyd because he so rarely gets hit clean.

good posts on this thread. Iv'e always maintained he faces grave danger in the first 4 rds against MP because Manny obviously has power, but moreso because he is actually faster than Floyd who will need some time to find the angles where the punches are coming from and time Manny's speed. Obviously if Floyd picks up the angles and adjusts to Manny's speed he will punishe him down the stretch, otherwise i can actually picture Manny getting a decision.
