What is Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s biggest shortcoming?

His "poosay".

Based on the poll results, people seem to think that Floyd's biggest shortcoming is 'balls'. That's interesting. Well let's consider this. Manny Pacquiao was hounded by SSM to fight. The fight didn't take place until after he was thoroughly defeated at the hands of Floyd Mayweather, and after the horrid showing against Sergio Mora. Mora's a fighter who went on to get beaten by Brian Lee Vera. Vera went on to get spanked by Andy Lee. If Floyd's biggest shortcoming is balls, then he's in a better position than Pac is due to the fact that Floyd was the 1st one to step to the plate. After Floyd's fight with Marquez, he's taken on the welterweight who's made the most noise within the sport. Mosley KOd Margz, Floyd fought him. Ortiz beat Berto in a fight that hardly anyone had Ortiz able to win. Floyd fights him.
People will say 'Oh, Pac had the balls to fight Cotto, Clottey, and Margarito but when you look at their previous fights, you will clearly see the flaws in them. Once the flaws and other intangibles are considered, it becomes clear that there was really no need to lack confidence going into these fights. Cotto was just beat silly by plaster. Clottey tried to act and complain his way out of the fight with Cotto. Margarito was KOd and suspended for one year. You don't need balls to step into the ring with fighters who have proven to be below their normal standards. It would've taken some balls for Pacquiao to fight Berto whe Ortiz fought him. After the 1 punch KO of Freddy Hernandez.
Like said, if Floyd's shortcoming is 'balls', then Manny Pacquiao's reputation suffers due to that assessment. Manny hasn't had the balls to step in there with anyone who posed a serious risk to his health. Stay tuned. We'll see the Pacquiao team put him in the ring with a fighter who isn't capable of doing the job. When he ends up in the ring with a lame ass fighter, I will say I told you so. If Manny wants respect, he'd go after the winner of Berto-Ortiz.

 

Balls - doesn't like to take any risks, shame.

 

Lack of quality competition

 

Problems outside of the ring. He has heart otherwise he would've folded against Mosley, Castillo, and breaking his hand against Hernandez. Not his fault most people don't want to fight him and if they do they're very unsure of themselves about beating Floyd. The exception is Marg but Arum is the one to blame for trying to enslave Floyd as well as his other fighters.

He's special but he's the best now and also a champion(not as important as being the best. Ex. Holmes was a single champ but clearly the best of his time belt or not belt) so people should challenge him not otherwise. Floyd suffers from being in a soft era where a "champion" doesn't havve to take those risks they need in order to show how great or crappy they are.

Think about it, DLH-Mayweather was the biggest fight to happen at that time and still there's no fight to pass that. That fight meant more than a Floyd-Cotto which wouldn't have done as nearly as well and Floyd would be a slave under Arum if he did take that route. Can't blame Floyd, blame lack of competition for him and being in a soft era. Corley was a champ for crying out loud!

 

floyd could have fought winky in 2005, margarito in 2006, cotto in 2008, pacquiao in 2010 and martinez currently and we would not blame it to a "soft" era. guys like marquez, morales and pacquiao has all fought opponents that are deemed risky for them.

 

Pacquiao isn't eager at all to want to fight Floyd and his reason for not fighting Martinez is that he "doesn't want to get hurt again". Marquez, yes he's fought tough guys I respect him. Morales, the same. Pacquiao was excellent in beating Barrera and fighting who he can at SFW but he's clearly been cherrypicking after losing to Morales(well I do give him props for figting JMM a second time but the third was a cherry pick). I just stated why he couldn't fight Margarito & Cotto too but you ignored it. With Winky, knowing him he would've asked for too much lol but why that fight didn't happen I don't know. Martinez is one of those opponents that will fight Floyd but like the usual fighter, highly doubts his chances.

And the era is soft. Do most "champions" not get the benefit of feasting on soft opposition instead of testing themselves? What happened to challengers going to champions and saying, "Yeah I'll fight em, kick his ass!" and promoters not pampering their so-called champs? Floyd doesn't have an opponent that is very willing to face him and truly thinks he can beat him thus suffers from a soft era opposed from Pacquiao who benefits by cherrypicking in order to become an "8 division" champion(Not all his fights were cherrpicks btw, just his recent ones) TBF, the DLH fight was an upset and many people(including I) should've predicted that fight with their minds and not their hearts. The Cotto fight was a risk too but after that, meh. Though it is easier to discredit after the fact but me giving him props is not what a hater would do.

 

what does it have to do with pacquiao? as i have said, floyd could have fought any of them instead of guys that he actually fought and his resume would be several times much better even if he lost one or two of them. it's not about being a "soft" era. it's about fighting the best opponent that you could have and floyd failed to do it more often than not.

 

Beating DLH and Castillo was the best he could do and he did it. Most guys just aren't willing enough to face him, not his fault. Other than Pacquiao, he fought JMM who was and still is the best fighter not named Floyd and beat him with ease. People were saying he was scared of Mosley(me included) but he shut us up and beat him winning every round except the 2nd round scare. Pretty solid even though JMM was a lw HE challenged Floyd.

What does it have to do with Pacquiao? People are saying he's Floyd's biggest threat but forces Floyd can't control prevent that fight from happening(Arum, Pacquiao's unwillingness).

 

All Mayweather had to do was accept 24 days and that fight was on.

 

He never let a white boy beat him.

 

Why should Floyd, the pfp #1 fighter and a guy who's outselling and clearly better than Pacquiao have to bow down to Pacq's rules? Why does Pacquiao even care when the tests will be? Is he cycling his roids out?

 

how can anyone question floyds heart?!

 

I thought you said he had no control?

Floyd was poosie.
