What are some weaknesses of the Mayweather jr style?

I think there are quite a few things to consider...one of them is: Jab, jab, jab. Not many fighters have a good jab, but if you have one then you'll have a key weapon against Floyd. The shoulder-roll is great for dealing with big, looping shots, because you can roll with them. It's tough to land hooks to the head. It's also difficult to hit him with the straight right, but he's much more open for the simple jab. It's the quickest and simplest shot, and goes straight down the middle...it doesn't really offer you a good opportunity to roll with it. It has to be a good jab, though, like the sort that Hoya and Cotto can throw -- if your jab is badly timed, too lazy and/or slow, then Floyd will just come over the top with a straight right.

Your an idiot , nothing more I can say ! This is aboiut Floyd not me. Floyds weaknesses is that he relies on judges to hopefully get it right, floyd hasnt got what it takes to take the decision out of the judges hands which is not good. When Floyd is being attacked by his opponents, Floyd hopes the judges dont count the punches like the pitter patter ones thrown on Pac scored by Bradley. So a lot of Floyd is based on what will be, will be, relying too heavily on refs and judges.

FMJ weakness, fight like: http://uppercutlefthook.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/roy-jones.jpg Lol

The weakness is that a lot of Floyd is based on hope, he hopes his opponent wont land, and he hopes the ref wont score a punch that looked like it may have landed but didnt, he leaves things to chance and up to the ref and dont take the bull by the horns. Your an idiot , nothing more I can say !

As in his elevated shoulder and rolling punches. I don't mean Floyd in particular just the style. It's called the philly shell no? I'm new to boxing so I apologize for my ignorance lol The weakness is that a lot of Floyd is based on hope, he hopes his opponent wont land, and he hopes the ref wont score a punch that looked like it may have landed but didnt, he leaves things to chance and up to the ref and dont take the bull by the horns.

cotto took judah punches flush and didn't bat an eye To see Cotto stunned just click play :

cotto took judah punches flush and didn't bat an eye... floyd's chin is probably his greatest weakness Floyd also took Judahs punches and didn't bat an eye. Judah actually wobbled Cotto, but he didn't wobble Floyd if that was your weak argument. Floyds never been put down by a punch, but his chin is his greatest weakness. Get a clue.

cotto took judah punches flush and didn't bat an eye... floyd's chin is probably his greatest weakness Neither did Floyd, he was caught off balance. If Floyd's greatest weakness is his chin then you're essentially saying he is a flawless fighter. Anyway, upon consideration I'd say the greatest ***** in his style is that he does not have a game changing punch. If a fight slipped out his grasp ( Hearns v Leonard I) I don't think he'd be able to turn things around.

His chin is above average. Aside from the time Judah caught off balance and the time he took a knee how many times has he touched the ground in a professional fight? The times he has been rocked can also be counted on one hand. Having a good defense can't account for everything, you're going to get hit in the sport of boxing and the times where his chin was tested he prevailed. ______ Anyway I wouldn't call this a weakness but I'd say that in the early rounds fighters don't push the action enough. When feeling one another out they allow him to put rounds in the bank with minimal work. When he adapts in the middle rounds it makes things that much harder for them. I also think a fighter who doesn't fall into a set rhythm would pose him problems and can throw punches from unconventional angles ( Roy Jones jr not Pacquiao) would be difficult for him. Some of his defense is based on his reflexes but a lot of it is based on his anticipation so if a fighter alternate the speed of their punches or throws from a place he is not expecting they could catch him of guard. cotto took judah punches flush and didn't bat an eye... floyd's chin is probably his greatest weakness

Manny Pacquiao.. The only reason why Floyd is concerned about his Health.

floyd has an average chin... which is probably why he doesn't take to many risks with it His chin is above average.

Mayweather's only weakness is a good fast jab, too bad there isn't a boxer around his weight class that has that. :''(

Man go ball this immature car wreck of an opinion up and throw this **** in the garbage, lol. Hilarious! Every poster here knows you worship Pacquiao you clueless troll, lmao. You don't know sh$t about boxing .... yikes!

The myth that pressure fighters bother Floyd is a myth. Floyd solved that problem during the first Castillo fight. Who has pressured him for 12 since, lmao?

Wrong again! ... but at least you made a partial effort FOR JUST ONE SENTENCE to stick to the threads discussion instead of just trying to protect your hero, Floyd, at all costs! .... What I meant as wrong again: The body can be exposed with that style. If arms are held to far apart, that leaves the opponent to go down the middle ... if you close the gap, you leave the outer perimeter exposed ..... especially the front .... which is Floyd's left side .... it gets exposed. This is more true when Floyd angles himself away from his opponent to try to protect his head but he then leaves his body exposed. More so is that one of Floyd's flaws is that he has a tendency to raise his left elbow and therefore exposing the body. Did I say enough?Man go ball this immature car wreck of an opinion up and throw this **** in the garbage, lol. Hilarious! Every poster here knows you worship Pacquiao you clueless troll, lmao.

All sounds good to your feeble brain , but there is one big element that changes the game , REACTION , what Floyd does to your every move , why is that what you think is an opening is never seen by all the elite fighters to face him , why ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, REACTION , he closes the gate and makes you pay , its not the style its the brain running it . By the way, I would have a very hard time coming up with elite fighters who faced Mayweather .... especially if you take into consideration an elite fighter who was in his prime and in his career fighting weight division. Can you?

Some of you Floyd fans can't discuss without having to insult people. It's cool that you disagree but don't go down to that level. We are discussing weaknesses in Floyd's style .... all styles have strengths and weaknesses (pros and cons). That said, it's not always easy to just expose ones weakness especially someone who is also athletic like Floyd and with his skills. That said, if you can find an opponent who can do it, then one would see how that style has those weaknesses.

southpaw stance, pressure and volume punching...
