    His ego was his weakness. Any other perceived weakness could have been easily fixed. He was easy to tie up, so what? He would have to throw more hellacious combos on the inside so that no one would want to tie him up.

    A good jab troubled him, so what? He had the head movement and super fast counter punches to negate that.

    He was troubled by good movers, so what? He was great at cutting the ring off.

    Outside fighting wasn't his specialty, but he had a great jab and he could outjab a few good jabbers.

    Contrary to popular belief, I don't think he was mentally weak as he took a bad beating in the Douglas fight and even at the hands of Lennox Lewis.
