    Gamboa - leaky defence and shaky punch resistance

    Katsidis - too easy to hit

    Khan - so obvious it's not even worth saying. Lack of inside game game too

    Margarito - slow as ****/uses his face to block shots... and that's without mentioning the handwraps

    #1fav - Ward, too careful to take some risks and finish (he knows this though, and said he's working on transforming into a 'fighter' - bad timing w/ that thought considering the level of competition in the Super6 - only AA has been able to get a KO, cuz he's a monster)

    #2 - Pacquiao, brawler open to get nailed alot by a counterpuncher, ie Mayweather, Marquez. Luckily, he's got a solid chin and often gives much more than he takes...

    #3 - David Lemieux, defense needs to get tighter, got caught by too many counters too easily in some fights, ie Patrick Tessier fight, though he got him out by the 2nd round. Good chance he's taking risks cuz he's just steamrolling such lower competition though....

    lol, Gamboa & Khan just suffering from young Pacquiao syndrome - their defense should tighten up after getting past the mentality of having to offensively assert/prove oneself all the time....

    I would say his biggest weakness, at least now in his 40's is that he has to take some early rounds off to conserve energy for the later part of fights (Ex: Both Taylor fights)

    yup, lack of consistent work, doesn't throw combinations anymore, much like jmm too meticulous and patient, footwork is only so so, killer instinct dissapeared in later years, doesn't always fully committ to shots

    Andy Lee- Poor stamina, gets hit too easily when he tires.
