    .. and What type of punch is he most vulnerable at? Ive seen him negate hooks pretty easily but haven't seen a lot people of throwing straight lefts at his face. Also i think he is vulnerable for an upper left punch.

    The straight right is the punch that he's most vulnerable to.

    The only punch I see hmi vulnerable to is the left jab. Which is dangerous, because it sets up other punches and can win rounds.

    But he seems to take everyone's jab away, so it really doesnt matter.

    It's perfection against JWW Ricky Hatton, and 36-year-old LW Marquez.

    Against welterweights? We don't know because Mayweather has never fought a welterweight even though he himself is a welterweight. Probably because his defense is too perfect to even bother.

    As close to perfection as possible, I dont think there is one punch but maybe the jab.

    Mayweather needs to fight the top guys now.Everyone was calling for him to fight Cotto but Cotto has been beat now by Pac and Margarito (****) Id rather see him fight Pac man but wouldnt mind seeing him fight Sugar Shane.

    Wouldnt mind seeing Pac fight SSM either.Shane Mosley looked unstoppable against Margarito but Margarito is stationary Pac and Mayweather are like lightning and SSM is one powerfull dude.Wouldnt mind seeing any two from the three fight.

    Mayweather has to think more about his legacy now than pay cheques but we all know how he operates.

    His defense would be taken to the limit i think by SSM or Pac if he beats them convincingly hes unstoppable

    The greatest flaw in Mayweather's defense is that he relies on it far too much, allowing his opponent to take the initiative.

    Arguably a knockdown but ive never seen him get hurt. Maybe that Corley punch.

    Definitely was buzzed by that Corley hook but he recovered quickly and still won the round.

    for sure he keeps his left too low but you gotta be real quick to get in, and once inside I think he is vunerable. Someone with a good lead right could do damage
