Did Mayweather Have Any Weaknesses

Yeah the same guy that couldn't beat Mayorga lol. Styles make fights. Prime Mayorga at 147 was relentless and unpredictable. Maidana arguably beat floyd the first time. Mayorga could have put a beating on Floyd .

Floyd has issues fighting guys longer than him who have good timing. Conor did well early mostly because hes taller and longer than Floyd. For his whole career he only fought 3-4 guys with longer reach than him. If he would have fought guys like Forrest, Williams, Martinez then he would have had real issues. Vernon Forrest had the perfect physicality and the style to beat Floyd . A 6ft txtbook fighter with a great jab and straight right like forrest would have been a nightmare for floyd.

Hes not the best offensive fighter Fortunately he never fought a great boxer in his prime with greater reach making Floyd come forward, closest was ODH Floyd is a counterpuncher and always fought opponents which suited his strengths

Boxing decisions are subjective and highly debatable. The three official judges don't speak for me. You've seen how pathetic they've been as of late. Yes, but those 3 judges are the only ones that matter

Lol no he wasn't...hes undefeated...why are fans so incredibly delusional? Boxing decisions are subjective and highly debatable. The three official judges don't speak for me. You've seen how pathetic they've been as of late.

Floyd's one weakness would be his low work rate. He was defeated by the more active and aggressive Jose Luis Castillo and Marcos Maidana in their first fights against him. Lol no he wasn't...hes undefeated...why are fans so incredibly delusional?

First thing that comes to my mind when weakness is mentioned is tryi ng to get things in his favoiur all time and not taking real legacy fights to proitect zero. Never took fight unless he thought he could win. Too methodical and calculated. Why noit fight someone yoiu didn't think you could beat? Floyd might have suprised himself and beat GGG. Towards the end he didn't think he could beat brook, Spence, Thurman and khan. . Khan? You're kidding right? There's nothing to say except you're just fvcking stupid...RIP 5-2-15 lmao!

Floyd Mayweather's weakness is that he can't fight coming forward consistently, his skill set is based on waiting and countering; but coming forward, while anticipating the punches and countering is not his specialty. It may appear he did not need to because he haven't yet met a fighter who can make him fight like that or it may appear so. There is a boxer wannabe Conor Mcgregor of all people have demonstrated that. Floyd had decided in that fight that he is going to turn into a come forward, seek and destroy for this guy -- this is the perfect choice of fighter to experiment with because he looks dumb in boxing anyway. What happened? You know the rest, floyd looked sloppy, unbalanced, very vulnerable, very not floyd mayweather like, we attributed this to getting old, true, but I say it's more like floyd looked funny that way because he can't fight coming forward. Thankfully the dumb ufc boxer wannabe dude got tired and the day is saved again. A fighter like Thomas Hearns who got a tremendous jab, very very long and has a ridiculous boxing ability to box if he chooses to, can force Floyd into a come forward style if he wants to win. If floyd won't come forward, he will be bombarded by that very very long strong Jab and it's difficult to counter when your arms is in the very short end of the stick. Sugar Ray Leonard discovered that and had to turn into a come forward, seek and destroy just to get over that hump.

Being a black man in America.

Every fight I watch I always think how would Floyd have handled this, and there's really no weaknesses I can think of that an opponent can exploit. Was he perfect? I'm no FM fanboy, but I believe he was as complete and perfect a boxer we'll ever see. Floyd's weakness was his biggest strength: counters. Same for RJJ at his peak. A counter ended his career.

I was never a fan. But his talent and skill was undeniable . If he had any weaknesses he hid them very well

I was a fan early in his career. Until he disrespected the greats before him. Than he became boring and a huge cherrypicker.

Brittle hands is the only thing, if he had Sugar ray robinson power he would've knocked out about everyone and be accepted universally as the best boxer ever

Not really. It's not like you can even say his lack of knockout power as he moved up was a weakness because nobody was able to walk through him. I guess the only issue i really had with him in the ring was that he never stepped on the gas more even when he was in complete control, he never considered turning the screw and looking for the stoppage enough. I wouldn't call that a weakness though in terms of skills and even that was only really in the later parts of his career.

Brittle hands. Below average power above 147. Those two things are related. Elite hand speed Elite defense Elite head movement Elite foot work Elite accuracy Elite counter puncher Elite jaw Elite intelligence in the ring Elite straight right Great jab Great body work Great upper cuts and hooks Great toughness He was a great fighter. Easily the best of the last 25 years.

Brittle hands.
