Does Mayweather have any weaknesses in the ring?

hesitant with offense ....leaving himself to get out pointed by someone, like Manny Pacquiao, who can outwork him.

 

Yeah, he freezes up at times. Pacquiao would stiffen those legs right up, John Garfield. :deal

 

Aside from bad hands which was dq'd in the opening post of this thread. Mayweather dose not have any glaring weakness.

Bad Chin. Why because he took a great shot from Mosley who is one of if not the best puncher at the weight? Mosley lands that shot on anyone there going to fell it. Mayweather also showed he knows what to do when he's hurt. He's also hard to hit clean so if he has a weak chin it is hard to expose it.

Slow starter. This is true. However, he doesn't allow his oppoents to take advantage by pot-shoting and moving.

Trubble with southpaws. Southpaws bother most if not all orthodox boxers. It is true that the Philly-Shell is vuranable to a southpaw, it also makes it easier to throw the stright right-left hook combo that is best when fighting a southpaw.

Lack of power. He's not a knockout artist by any means, but he doesn't need to be.

Lack of punch output. He would be more entering if he punched more. However, he doesn't need to punch more. He's very accurate and he is also able to limit the punches of his oppoents.

 

yes, he is boxings biggest *****.

 

And this too, John Garfield.

 

No one who boxes professionally is a *****. You can get hit with a bad punch wearing training gear and still die.

 

Really believe that, RG, or is he just a masterful boxer that reduces opponents to sparring partners?

He doesn't make the blood race like Robinson, but he's one SWEET boxer.

 

how can u hit what u cant see?

After the second round of that fight was over, in the corner Roger tells him to keep Castillo in front of the jab, Mayweather leans over to him and tells Roger that somethings wrong with his left arm. Roger tells him to keep flicking it out there, and just change up on him, and tells one of the guys in the corner to massage his arm. By the 6th and 7th round...he barely threw it.

 

Good post. People said the same thing of Bobby Fischer playing Chess. It was very simple and straightforward and his opponents could see what he was doing but would be powerless to stop it.

 

none because 41 tried and 41 failed...

 

Thats exactly what im saying. You could predict it, but someone who's also gifted and force an exchange by predicting the punch would cause him trouble. (in this case we see Pac who MAYBE is gifted enough and who can pull it off)
Because Floyd cannot dodge any punch while he is committed and is also in the process of throwing a punch thus leading to his other weakness which is exchanges.

 

Don't fool yourself into believing Mayweather can disappear and travel at the speed of light whenever he wants. Old man Mosley didn't have any issues seeing or hitting Mayweather. It was too bad for Mosley he is simply too old and can't pull the trigger. Pacquiao hardly has a trigger or stamina issue
