    Every thread turns into a May/Pac thread...!!! :patsch


    As for this topic:

    Not an excellent boxer per se, but Kevin Johnson had the inability to throw punches at his opponent other than a jab...!!!

    Kovalev, there's something wrong in his defense. He will get knocked down one day or another. I'd have to rewatch his fights to know what it is exactly, but he takes a lot of unnecessary punches and will pay for it sooner or later, everybody does.

    It's not his defense, it's his balance. Sometimes he throws himself off balance with his punches and is open to a counter.

    This is one that didn't span a career, rather one fight and it's Canizales-Gonzalez I, Canizales fought extremely squared up, it was a very beautiful boxing match but that one mistake is probably what cost him the fight, he managed to get rid of that habbit not long after.

    Most great fighters' glaring weakness is stamina. Most fighters' glaring weakness period is stamina.

    Thanks to Pimp C and his one and only topic of discussion: kissing Floyd's nuts and bashing on Manny.

    Why does every thread seem to devolve into a Mayweather-Pacquiao debate?

    5 years of trash talk and predictions between fans.

    It's going to take more than 4 months for folks to get over it, unfortunately.

    That and, well, it was "the fight of the century." But mostly because 5 years of trash talk and predictions between fans.

    Gary Russell Jr - Stationary footwork. Not really a massive glaring weakness but someone like Lomachenko could and did exploit it. Also tendency to throw short range shoeshines, makes him look very fast but it doesn't seem overly effective.

    The century is 15 years old.

    If that ends up going down as it, this is a pathetic century. :verysad

    Timothy Bradley - Good technical boxer all around but he abandons it due to his mentality as a fighter, not sure if this counts but I'll list it anyway.
