What Are Floyd Mayweather Jr's Weaknesses?

Who has Mayweather ran from?

 

I thought that was a legitimate debate. He calls Mayweather a coward. Then he'll can him a *****. Then he'll insult your mother. Ramshell...one of the great debators of our time.

 

I also think no one at ESB is/was taking Floyd seriously when he talked about his body deteriorating. I honestly think his one punch at a time style evolved because he could no longer do combinations with speed and accuracy combining with the greater risks as he was facing higher weight classes.

 

I believe Fraud is a psychological coward way before Arum said it publically.

The shameless way he cherry picks and the way he ducked Margarito and acted like and a-hole pretending AM wasnt even a worthy opponant. . . as if Bruseles was. :roll: gimme a ****in break.

This is why the dude talks so damn loud, doesnt make sens when he pops off at the mouth and then runs from the biggest challenges. . . he's a classic case of a coward with a big mouth.

 

Wrong, AM and Cotto are the two best pressure fighters at 147 since probably Tito. Zab also ducked Margarito for a reason. . . probably similar reasons that Fraud turned down 8 mil and free agency.

Cotto's biggest win was Shane, another real threat that Fraud passed over for the path of least resistance (the smaller Hatton).

 

Ive backed up my view with facts, u choosing to be a blind Fraud Groupie is hardly a "debate" either

 

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED...

He forego a shot a Margarito for the OPPORTUNITY to fight De La Hoya. When Oscar delayed his decision and said he wasn't fighting until May of 07, Mayweather was in a bind trying to find right opponent. Mayweather then tried to get a fight with Spinks (whom could have possibly posed difficulty for PBF), but due to lack of response, Mayweather had to abandon those plans. So Mayweather decides to challenge for the UNDISPUTED WW championship by beating Baldomir.


HOW RAMSHELL INTERPETS THIS...

Mayweather ran from Margarito like a little chicken with his dick in between his legs.

 

IGNORE RAMSHAL!!!!!


the topic stayed on focus and everyone was having a nice lil debate and ****.....

dont let him ruin it... cause i still want to discuss this


the purpose i made this thread is i truly believe Floyd has no weaknesses.. AT ALL!!!

he has an answer for everything you can possibly bring to the table

every and any POSSIBLE style you can bring to the table floyd has an answer for.... i also understand any fighter can lose @ any moment of any fight.... but floyd skills are so amazing..

he can tolerate pressure
he can beat you in exchanges due to his uncanny ability to catch punches, see punches and evade punches
his defensive position has no holes in it
he has a strong chin
he can counter inside & outside & on the ropes
hes fast enough that even though he doesn't have tremendous power his punches are damaging because you cant see them coming
he can punch from all angles
he can think and is patient
he can change ryhtmys making it extremely to predict his movement and time him
hes a physical specimen and stays in superb condition

ive watched floyd fights and highlights all day today and i feel he has NO WEAKNESSES

im not trying to be a nut hugger because i can show you an example of everything i listed

but this is something i genuinely believe after today...

if someone can show me what his weaknesses are and how to beat him im completely open to hearing there reasons and discuss them because maybe im wrong... im open to all opinions but after watching floyd all day (result of being stuck with the grandparents) i feel like hes the complete fighter...

if you disagree with me dont call me a nut hugger and all that other **** but just show me some valid points to help me see the other side of this argument...

 

I can't be bothered to type much any more, all I'm saying is he's far from the perfect fighter, he has weaknesses like every other fighter that's every fought in the sport, and the Floyd nuthuggers have to learn you accept it (not accusing any of you btw, so don't take that comment the wrong way, I know your not nut hugging I know your looking for good debate which we've had as far as I'm concerned )

 

When DLH was outta the picture, AM was still an option. . . hey, if he turned down AM's 8 mil for DLH's 20 mil even I would understand that - but that aint how it happened.

AM's 8 mil offer was a one fight deal, with free agency for his next fight.

Goosens 8 mil was not with free agency, he paid Goosen a cut of the DLH purse. . . thats the price he was willing to pay to duck AM.:deal

 

A methodical pressure fighter can beat him, one with great inside skills as well. By methodical I mean an educated one, one who is able to cut off the ring effectively, like Chavez, and one who is able to find Floyd, who is so willing to fight off the ropes. Floyd is able to counter silly the open swarmers that he has faced, but the tight, skilled pressure fighters who know how to apply it and track down a speedster are the ones that can beat him.

Cotto is the only one who fits the bill now. Honestly, Cotto's leaky defense in spots and still questionable chin are the only spots I see for Floyd to act on, which would make it a tough fight, with Cotto controlling the pace for the most part and out-doing Floyd on the inside.

Over history, there are quite a few more.

As for Floyd's weaknesses, I'd say at WW it's his lack of workrate against such a fighter that would cause him to lose a Decision. He was given limitless countering opportunities against the open likes of Hatton, Jesus Chavez, etc. Against a guy like Cotto or Chavez it wouldn't be the case. The reason I automatically point to pressure fighters nowadays is because Floyd so welcomes their style. There are obviously other styles that could beat him as well over history, just not nowadays in the WW division.

 

Everyone fighter has a sometype of weakness, that is why every fighter who has ever fought can be defeated. No fighter is truly "unbeatable". However some fighters have considerably less weaknesses than others or either have soo many strengths that they can overshadow their weakeness. Mayweather doesn't have any SIGNIFICANT weaknesses right now, although his lack of combinations is a minor one. His lack of any SIGNIFICANT weaknesses is why I believe he is favored from 154 down.

 

And RJJ was a "defense" first boxer:rofl

 

and were supposed to take you seriuosly.

everyone has a weakness you dumb groupie.

 

No. That is just ignorance. You know this how, from watching him against Hatton? From watching him struggle against Castillo? From watching him beat an old Oscar by a round? Do you not realize how much more class there is over the history of boxing than what he has faced? Hell, even nowadays stylistically.
