Floyd Mayweather's weaknesses

If Floyd wins saturday....don't come on here talking like a "ship jumper'....."oh man Floyd is the total package"...."oh man Floyd was brilliant"....."oh man is Floyd the **** or what?"........being like that is equivalent to a dick riding groupie.....

what you are saying was the same **** said about Hatton vs Mayweather.

 

I agree with you about Floyd not being a flawless fighter.

But as much as I dislike Floyd, I do not think that Mosley will be the man to exploit these flaws. Shane Mosley was a great fighter, I think he's past his prime (but still very good), but he's 38 years old and he has had a long lay-off. Yes, he looked great against Margarito, but Margarito is slow and his style is totally different than Floyds. In the two fights before that, he had a lot of problems with Mayorga and lost to Cotto (he should've won, but anyways it was a close fight). All these fighters are not on Floyds level.

That's why I think that Floyd will win on points, although I'm rooting for Shane of course.

 

I hear ya....i just had to get that of my chest for the ones who will coming in this thread with the same belief that i stated against. We here for boxing not bitching lets do it!

Its all good:good

 

These "So-Called" Elite-Welterweights that he didin't fight or that you and every other poster wanted him to fight...Floyd would have been an OVER-WHELMING favorite in everyone of those fights (Margarito, Cotto) BY FAR!!!! So in fact...THE ELITIST OF THE WELTERWEIGHTS IS AND ALWAYS WAS....

Floyd certainly has weaknesses. Some of his opponents have been able to exploit at least one of these weaknesses. Problem is Floyd's ring IQ is so high and his skill so polished, you need a fighter capable of exploiting not one, but nearly all of his weaknesses to have a chance, as Floyd is a master of adaptation.

The weaknesses of Floyd Mayweather that I see are:

1. Opponents using a good jab (Castillo, De La Hoya)
2. Southpaw stance (Judah, Urkal)
3. High Guard (Castillo)
4. Hand speed equal or superior to his own (Judah)
5. Fast foot movement (Hatton)

There may be others, but these are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. A fighter that can exploit 4 out of 5 of these weaknesses stand a very good chance of beating him.

I want Mosley to win, I hope Mosley wins, but logic tells me Mayweather will win by a hard fought, well earned split decision.

 

Shane has three of those things (definitely the first if he chooses to use it - his lack of a jab is a myth, despite his failure to use it on occasion). It's going to be Floyd's foot speed that will give Shane the most trouble - Mosley needs to get Floyd against the ropes whenever possible and forget the head, work the body.

 

Skillz pay da billz.

 

His only weakness is his fragile hands. He have become a counter puncher when he reached WW but don't be fooled that he can't throw more punches.

 

I dont get that logic, just a Mayweather hate cliche. Mayorga knocked out Forrest, the same Forrest who beat the stuffing out of Mosley. That Mayorga barely touched Corey Spinks, who was KO'd by Judah - Judah was the undisputed Welterweight champ. How the hell was he not elite?? Because he dropped a close decision to Baldomir? Just bull**** that haters spew over and over.

 

It's just that Floyd is on another polane all together. He IS the elite fighter in the WW division. The only guy that people will consider "elite" enough is Pac. Everyone else is a 3-1 underdog:deal

 

TS didn't even name ONE SINGLE real weakness.

Defensive minded doesn't equal weakness, its a style.
Low workrate is not a weakness, its a style.
Heart not been tested so how is it a weakness?
Power? Not elite but damn its not Malignaggi.

 

Agreed but his heart was tested. He rematched Castillo, had a rough fight with Chavez(01) but fought on, and during the Hernandez fight he overcame his only kd while suffering from a broken hand. That's heart in my book.
