Mayweather Sr: Dont ever put Jr. with a Southpaw

[| THE KING |]

This was posted by a friend of mine. It took awhile to find but it is the most realistic look at Mayweather and southpaws. I left the posters name off the quote but if you are honest with youself you will see.

Good rationale post..!

Thats odd.

He beat the **** out of every southpaw hes ever faced.

Not Reggie Sanders... no one even tried to snake that bull by the horns.

Other than that, for sure.

Corley and Judah landed ONE good shot, which is more than all Mayweather opponents, minus Castillo and De La Hoya landed, so I guess that fuels the debate.

I have been pointing out the southpaw avoidence by Mayweather for years, There is alot more acceptance of this now but some still don't realize how apparent it is.
When Mayweather first beat Corrales, HBO wanted him to unify against Joel Casamayor. Mayweather refused to fight Casamayor. I started to wonder why and looked at his record to see how he did against southpaws. He only had fought one and that guy was 0-7. Later when Mayweather beat Castillo for the WBC Lightweight title, Stevie Johnston was the #1 contender and Mayweather refused to fight him and made Johnston fight former featherweight champ Alejandro Gonzalez to see who fights Mayweather next. Johnston won but Mayweather would not fight him. Johnston sat for over a year and eventually had to fight another elim. one year and five months later. Johnston never got to fight Mayweather.

It was obvious to me that Mayweather prefered only fighting the orthodox stance.

He did fight a few later in his career, Judah, who was coming off a loss to Baldomir, Corley who was coming off a loss to Judah and Sharmba Mitchell who two fights earlier was destroyed in three by Tszyu.

Many of my friends and I have discussed this for weeks and I explained these simple facts: Mayweather in his career has faced 4 southpaws, while other champs like Hopkins and Jones Jr. have faced around 10 each in title bouts alone.
I have been quoted on these facts many times.

How can a fighter like Paul Spadafora own Mayweather in sparring while Mayweather is so much better? The answer is styles make fights. So much so Zab Judah can give Mayweather fits til he ran out of gas. But Baldomir can't win a round with Mayweather, the same Baldomir that whipped Judah right before he fought Floyd. The reason styles make fights and Mayweather lacks the experiance to handle the southpaw style. It is the cost of avoiding the southpaw stance. It is the reason the Pacquiao fight probably won't happen and it is the reason Paul Williams is a middleweight.

Did spadafora really owned mayweather in sparring? If it is true then, i don't blame the mayweather's for ducking pac again. It was a smart move that they should keep floyd away from pac to protect his undefeated record....

you are so funny....I love reading your BS. If pac took the terms that he is seeking now in january the fight would have been made. if floyd never wanted the fight he would not have agreed to 50/50 the first time around because if you try to say he ducked pac with OSDT there is no way he could known pac would disagree. you talk up pac like he is some immortal fighter but we have all seen him kiss the canvas and get counterpunched to death
