    And he dropped his left in his high guard when pressuring Judah and got dropped. He likes to drop his left. That is fine when he is on his back foot in his cross guard but not when he is on his front foot trying to pressure a fighter.

    I'd have said Floyd's is his brittle hands

    Pacquiao like to brawl too much when he is out boxing people.

    The Hitman if he had a chin could've been the GOAT.

    Roy Jones - lacking in fundamentals. But that guy in his prime is probably the best i've seen

    Floyd - doesn't sit down on his punches but enough pop to gain respect

    Pacquiao - sometimes sacrifices his defense and balance to get a punch in. You can see this during the first round of Bradley 2. He was lunging and reaching in desperation.

    Toney - lack of movement/agility and self discipline

    Lewis - over confidence, low left hand, could neglect his jab

    Calzaghe - could stay in the pocket too long, open to right hands

    Wlad - overly cautious, lack of inside skills and an effective uppercut

    Eubank - struggled to cut of the ring against boxers, work rate, lost his killer instinct

    Hamed - Over confidence, fell in love with his power, chin in the air

    Holyfield - easily drawn into a brawl, lack of size

    Floyd- twitchy to feints, his reflexes are too good,means he can get caught be someone who knows how to feint well,
    Low work rate won't ever change, could get out pointed by agressive effective boxer


    PAC- falls into traps and set ups because he always wants to get off first.

    Bradley- awful game plans

    Marquez- can't do **** against slick blackness
