    Mayweather...His ego/persona, and his unwillingness to satisfy fan demand...yet complains that no-one supports him.

    Pacquiao...Arum, and Roach when he talks. He needs to make Arum aware of who he wants to fight. World Title fights at catchweights (I have no issue with catchweights).

    JMM: the need to let the warrior out whenever touched with something decent (Man I love that he has it in him).

    Dirrell: Does alot of undisipline things but gets away with it because of reflexes. Still he has deplayed greatness in the ring and is still improving.

    Berto: Makes fights gritty because his legs always slow down midway through the fight.

    Sergio Martinez: Does undisiplined things also but is a very good strategist and accurate with his shots. Leaves his head open when he darts in and can be countered by someone fast, with the will to pull the trigger on a straight shot.

    Zab Judah. Breaks down, Gasses out and is undicipline in his defense. I think having his father has limited him. He could have been great if he had diffenent trainers to be on him more. I for one think freddy roach could have made him great.

    Joan Guzman: was one of my favorites but his conduct has lost me. No need to explain. Still will root for him but really hope he doesn't cheat anyone out of a fair fight agian or cancel a fight for weight issues.

    Chris John: No real flaw I can see. He is pretty much textbook IMO. He might even be too textbook. I think he is there for a great unorthodox fighter to beat but he dam sure will be tough. He has some tough exciting fighters that he has to face in the near future.

    Why are people lying about who's their fav fighters?lol

    My fav is Shane and his biggest weakness is his lack of overcoming adversity. Once a fight's not going his way he just doesn't know how to adapt in order to win. Be honest about your favs people.

    Hearns-Suspect chin, took too many chances trying to drop bombs on people, although in the Hagler fight he had to go for it.

    Roy Jones-His ego wouldn't allow him to ignore the taunts of Antonio Tarver, fought AT weight drained and has never been the same.

    My Favorite Fighter: "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather...PERIOD HANDS DOWN!!!

    His Flaw: FLOYD "MONEY" MAYWEATHER!!!!

    Who ever told him that being and/or playin' the role of Villain/Nemesis to increase popularity and/or exposure...was quite possibly the WORST ADVICE EVER!!!!

    Being an Ohio Native....Gotta love me some Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini. His flaw was his unusual ability to always GET HIT REPEATEDLY by any and everyone he faced...even the C- to D level opponents.

    Hagler = not to many weaknesses, letting Leonard get to him and accepting their fight (uner those conditions).

    Duran = His love of partying

    Sweetpea = Lack of power

    Kostya = fell in love with his power, and at times poor defence.
