Floyd against southpaws.

[mikeeod]

Floyd does struggle with southpaws but normally adjusts and wins the later rounds.

If Pernell was around he would have been serious trouble for Floyd.

I would like to hear how you define struggle. Because he hasn't had one competitive fight against a southpaw.

Emanuel Pacquiao was as easy a fight as any fight short of Gatti
Guerrero was almost as easy as Emanuel
Ortiz was a wipeout
Judah was completely onesided after the early rounds
Sharmba was a wipeout
Corley was pure domination
Sanders he won every round

Rounds 52-10, doesn't seem like struggling.

To be fair, none of those fighters were anywhere near Pernells level. Anyone who ever fought Sweet Pea struggled, even when he was well past his prime. He and Floyd are two of the greatest defensive specialists ever, and would have been about as even a match up as you could find.
