----- He has excellent speed. Not speed like guys like Zab Judah, Shane Mosley, Roy Jones, Ray Leonard, but he's very fast. He has one of best defenses of all time. His defense is very complete. He is athletic, he also has reflexes. He has an extraordinary technique, which is what Jones lacked. His chin is very solid. Only down once in practically 40 fights. The time he was down was because he actually hurt his hand. The time he was also down against Judah he was out of balance. Anyway, he's been down once. His power at 130 was more than enough. At 147, he doesn't have too much power, but isn't featherfisted. His accuracy is a great help. He is smart, has ring intelligence. Mayweather seems like a complete fighter. What does he lack, what is his weakness? Some would say he lacks heart. Is that a problem? Doesn't look like. His fragile hand could be a real problem. What is his weakness?
I'd say power. Hes not a HEAVY HEAVY hitter like Cintron. But then again he does not swing with power with every punch because of his hands. Some say he lacks heart but hes never needed to show it. All in all I'd say his hands are his weakness.
punching power, i rate it a 6.5 maybe 7 out of 10. its good power and comes with his speed and technique but i wish he could hit like how rjj hit when he was prime.
His doesn't have too much power, but I don't think that's a problem. It was a problem in someone like Whitaker or Pep.
His hands but thats about it. He has a little power but he doesen't sit on his punches since he has been a WW. He don't throw many combinations like he used to either and that could be a down fall I guess.
In terms of technical skills, intelligence, accuracy, defense, ring generalship, and speed, he is one of the most complete fighters in boxing history. He's perhaps the most versatile fighter in boxing right now. He doesn't have any apparent/major flaws. The only things I can come up with (at 147) are his workrate is below the welterweight average, he doesn't throw many combinations, his height, his physical strength, and power. However, he has equalizers in speed, defense, and movement.
Yeah, if he and Mayweather were both devestating punchers, it would be scary to think how good they would be.
you a mutha ****in lie, if he did not have that he would not have won fights with damn near broken hand, torn rotator cuffs, hairline fracture ribs thanks to castillo (ouch) he has showed courage plenty of times boy :thumbsup
