    Not getting hit again is different from having a good chin. How can you not comprehend that?[/quote]

    Questioning a boxer's chin when tested (mosley/may fight) equals how QUICK that person recovers! Floyd recovered quick and went on in life :deal

    The question was does he have a good chin? Some of you seem to think so just because he hasn't been knocked out. This is because he doesn't get hit and not because he gas a good chin. I used margarito as an example because he survived 9 rounds of pounding whereas Floyd gets hit once and staggered like no tomorrow. Read the post properly before you comment.

    He said numerous weaknesses about an undefeated fighter, then says don't let the 0 fool you smfh lmao. The fact that you say Castillo beat Floyd suggests to us that youre in denial. Second, what you posted about weaknesses, fans need to see you post real weaknesses that we can respect. You said numerous, and gave us boxing fans a garbage outlook when Floyd has looked bad in a fight to you...fights he won.

    Castillo was holding and hitting in the clinch. That was his most effective offense.

    De La Hoya was throwing a lot but wasn't landing much at all. Floyd was outboxing him easily.

    His uncle watches them and gives him the break down and what to look for. He's said so before.

    Hes not flawed at all, but I still think he can be lured into a brawl when he gets hit cleanly. Like I said before and Ill say it again, jab to Floyds body and then go upstairs even Floyd isnt immune to that even though hes great at that too. Its almost as if Mosley heard me because he was doing just that for the first 2 rounds with alot of success. Sergio is a double threat inside and out Pacman only midrange. Sergio is a great jabber to the body. Other than that, cant find any weakspots.

    No Castillo had a sustained body attack and Floyd chose to fight Castillos fight getting a gift decision in the end. Had Floyd potshotted might of been easier. There was never proof he had a torn rotator cuff. Castillo was clinching, but so was Floyd.

    I know, a sustained body attack of illegal punches lol. They actually counted those shots the first time around and not the 2nd..which is why the first fight's compubox numbers looked so skewed in favor or Castillo. His only chance was to fight dirty and he got away with a loss.

    On Mayweather's limited arssenal and predictability of his punches. Sandy Koufax possibily the greatest pitcher in the history of baseball had two pitches a fastball and a curve-ball, depending on how he stood on the mound the batter could tell which pitch was coming. It did not matter. Koufax was that good. Mayweather is also that good. You can see his pull counter coming a mile away yet he lands it effectively.

    I agree with this but watching a fight and naturaly learning the pros and cons of a fighter is a what all fight fans do...you do it, i do it, we all do it....i dont believe thats studying a fighter.

    Like you said...Roger does the studying and gameplan work...i dont believe Floyd does that.

    Floyd is one of the most complete fighters today and in history, alot of the weaknesses being told are nitpicking and not really weaknesses.

    The one real weakness i see that he has is that he overly reacts to fighters movements at times....especially early in the fight. He is so defensive minded that his first movement is to protect when the other fighter makes a move which i feel makes him succeptable to feints to the body or jabs to the body then go up top. I think early in the fight feints against him would work pretty well.

    This got him in trouble in the Mosley fight.
