    Said flaw could bring a boxer up to B class, World Class, Elite level, etc. Explain why this flaw would be a positive for your chosen boxer aswell. :good


    Let's get the obvious ones out the way.

    Floyd Mayweather Jr - Flaw = He has no balls. Flaw removed = Give Mayweather Jr balls.

    Manny Pacquiao - Flaw = Scared of needles. Flaw removed = Remove Pacquiao's fear of needles.

    Now, go.

    Tim Bradley - KO power would make him interesting

    Amir Khan - Grade A chin and he would beat just about anyone

    Zab Judah - Heart

    Margarito - Speed

    Ortiz - A good shrink

    Even if you gave Bradley very respectable power, I think that would do him wonders. His lack of power is definitely a big flaw.

    Still not sold on Khan's chin, the guys heart is undoubtedly greater for me at the minute.

    Margarito + speed would be a good (or bad for his opponent) combination. :good

    Margarito - A defense that isn't his damn chin!

    I like that one, can't wait to see if he can bounce back.

    :good

    :lol:

    I thought he showed a fairly solid chin against DeMarco, took some good shots and kept fighting.

    :lol::lol:

    In regards to Linares, both his losses have been by KO, I just think that he throws beautiful combinations, upstairs and downstrairs, that if you give the kid an iron chin, he'd be so much more difficult to beat, and most probably undefeated.

    Antonio DeMarco -- better handspeed. With those long arms, he could tatoo guys and keep them on the outside. Also, a lot of the times he gets hit is when he is pulling his hands back from throwing a punch. He would spark guys if he had a little more speed.

    Nice thread.

    Man, I would ****ing love to see a younger, lighter Mosley and Mayweather fighting today. Stick both of them back in the 130/135lbs range...and boxing would be greater for it.

    Agreed. :good
