Originally posted by RayLeonard82 View PostIn recent fights Floyd has gone to a style where he is more aggressive and coming forward with his hands up high. He blocks and counter punches from that position. He did it against Mosley and Ortiz. Do you think he will use this style against Pac?
Marquez had success by taking a couple of steps backwards while Pac charged inside and countered Pac. Im not so sure Floyd wants to copy that style and move backwards.
It seems Floyd is more willing to be macho and take the fight to the opponent and prove a point. Could that backfire?
Yes, but it's a double edged sword, if he can back Manny up it will help him as Manny can't fight backing up....see Morales fight as evidence.

Originally posted by Ugh! View Postlol, judah threw punches in the latter part of the fight? i dont know, when he switched off i kind of switched off too, got boring, he would barely move anymore and just stand there as mayweather raked his body with hooks
he was done in the latter half, although im sure if i go back i can find a couple of punches that he landed, even despite his very low output
P.S zab got frustrated because he was tired and getting his ass whooped
LOL clearly you were pulling for Zab in that fight. Whoever Mayweather fights you guys root for! Just like in the Mosley fight, as soon as Mayweather's opponent starts losing you guys discredit the guy. Mayweather adjusted to Zab's straight left just like Marquez adjusted to Pacquiao's straight left.

Originally posted by IMDAZED View PostYour point was that Mayweather didn't adjust in a fight where he didn't have to, according to you. Solid.
it would be impressive, if he didn't fight that way against every southpaw...well, except the ortiz fight, ortiz's strenght and size was hard to move, albiet still plenty of similarities

Originally posted by Ugh! View Postwell an adjustment wouldn't have hurt, you know, to avoid the lefts, stop zab from getting away to his left and turning him, but i guess he had stuck to the gameplan which was probabley to expect judah to break down and turn into a punching back
