Mayweather has trouble with Southpaws ?

[Toy Story 3]

I always hear people say this. Floyd has trouble with southpaws, Pacquiao is southpaw, dah dah dah. I want to know which southpaw he had trouble with. Which southpaw almost beat Floyd Mayweather ? He has zero defeats so it's obvious he never lost to a southpaw as a pro.

Which southpaw has came close in defeating Floyd Mayweather Jr. ?


Check out these 2 videos. Watch the ENTIRE THING of both videos. They break it down perfectly in my opinion. This is for the people that say Floyd did NOT adjust, Zab just ran out of gas and that's all it was.

the shell wasn't made to combat southpaws, though it can be adjusted to deal with them.

without watching your videos, yes, mayweather did begin to take away everything of zab judah's that worked. he mentally adjusted to the angles instead of instinctually taking them away like he would against an orthodox fighter.

he became more cautious of the counter left hand that judah caught him with a couple times as he stepped in with his jab and began to throw more hooks over judah's right shoulder to make zab readjust his own angle of attack.

he wins but the adjustments to corley and judah came a bit slower than his adjustments to other fighters and, though he anticipated the punches coming, the southpaw angles have allowed left hands to catch him in his shell. that, for people looking for every advantage, is having trouble.

off topic, drake is a ***** and naming yourself after his gay ass album is lame.

on topic, i think both of these guys are made for each other. all of the things that have troubled mayweather(if its castillo's pressure, zab's speed and stance early on and hatton's foot speed) pac posses, and the thing that has troubled pac (marquez counter punching style) before Floyd possesses 10 fold.

i think both of these guys are made for each other and why i think it'll will be the greatest fight ever considering the status of the fighters, and the fireworks they'll bring.

I know, those who are looking for any glimmer of hope point to a punch Corley landed SIX YEARS AGO!! Pac gets countered repeatedly by Marquez, dropped by Yeshmagembatov, but he has "improved" and those fights are no longer relevant.

It is funny how with each passing day, the first four rounds of the Judah-Mayweather fight go from being competitive to Mayweather getting a beating...LOL. Mayweather adjusted and took Judah's legs away with a wicked body attack, but to the haters, Judah "just stopped punching"

This whole adjustments **** is overrated, if you open a door that shoots scorching flames, close it and try another door.
Most elite know how to adjust, as they are clear headed in the ring, not panicking or fighting on instincts(which does happen if your fatigued, learned that first hand).
Is it really that amazing? It's a trail and error/adaption that is common between every human.

i wouldn't say it's overrated only because the numbers show that the amount of punches landed on him begins to take a dive. some fighters dang near stop throwing any punches of consequence all together.

everyone seems to come out with the thought of pressuring him. eventually they start noticing what they were touching him with before is being completely blocked and they are being countered for their efforts. then, many of them lose all aggressiveness and spend whatever rounds are left backing up as he hits them with 2 and 3 punch combinations.

adjusting is one thing. adjusting and completely dominating from then on is another.

yo triga, i have been trying to express your points long time ago. these dude think these are magical adjustments only floyd can do. may got skills, but it's just over hyped. he's probably not even aware of the things he is doing differently.

I see your point, however Floyd's ring intelligence is phenomenal. A lot of fighters make adjustments (after being told to by their corner, because your trainer sees things that you don't), he has however been able to consistantly make his own adjustments.
