List three flaws of your favorite fighter

[kayjay]

This one might be hard for some of you, but consider it a kind of emendation of "nuthugging." It could also bring some respectability to certain of you who only post about one fighter (I don't have just one fighter in mind, but there are too many one-topic posters these days). Don't say your favoritre fighter has no flaws, everyone who has ever fought has flaws.

I'll start:

Big Wlad:
1. He sometimes fails to adjust in adverse situations.
2. He crosses his feet sometimes.
3. He doesn't let loose with the uppercut, but has to think before he uses it.


Oscar:
1. Has let victory slip away, and sometimes seems content just to have done well.
2. When he can't load up on the hook, it can be mediocre.
3. Gets away from his jab

Also, try to come up with flaws that other posters haven't mentioned.

And try to be a bit technical.

[Welter_Skelter]

Well kayjay already said it all..

Wlad
1- Is he mentaly strong enough..When you are so dominant.. It does not teach you how to deal with adversity

2- His footwork is much improved.. But as mentioned he can trip over his own feet

3- Punch repitore.. Needs to throw more variety.. some day somone is gonna counter that JAB.. he better have a Plan B

PAC-MAN

1- A little one dimensional.. Exellent Boxing skills can beat him.. Morales I, JMM for example

2- Too concerned with his celebrity status of late..Shut up and BOX

3- Not the brightest Guy around..How much of his game is Freddy Roach.. can he think for himself in the ring??

Carlos Baldomir

1. Reluctant, or prehaps unable, to give any other type of movement to his opponent, you never see him bouncing on his toes, or giving his opponent an in-and-out view, switching up the range.

2. Rarely gives any other angle other than straight on, this, combined with his slow footwork, makes him an easy target. I think he would have had more success, and he shown his opponents different angles. More latteral movement against Vernon Forrest would have worked wonders.

3. Sure, he never stops coming, but when he is ineffective for short periods of time, he seems to get discouraged and become largely useless. He should make himself more busy, let his hands go, and move away, just so he at least feels active, and builds confidence.

Winky:

1.- I really get pissed with him when he lets himself be outworked for period of times here and there because even if he's blocking, ****** people dont even notice, and with his history of getting bad decisions, he should know better...

i think thats basically it....


oscar:

1.- the things KJ said......

morales:

1.- His defense is good but once he gets hit, he loses focus and takes some ****** punches

2.- He should ****ing clinch.....he kinda thinks its not right to clinch but if someone does it to you, and the referee aint doing his job, you should do it... same thing with illegal blows....this is a flaw of Winky too, now i think about it...

3.-Dont get so ****ing fat between fights....

[Eno]

James Toney
1. He is fat all the time.
2. He tried using steroids again
3. He doesn't have anything left really.

that was pretty easy but Toney is pretty much done for.

Pavlik:
1. Not the quickest
2. A real slick boxer that sticks to his game and doesn't try and slug it out would give the guy problems
3. He is too worried about putting on a show... BOX some times (he has the ability to but not at the level of the premier BOXERS)

[NeXt In Line]

Hopkins:

1. Sometimes thinks being accurate instead of aggressive will win him a fight, and it has cost him in the past (both Taylor fights).

2. At his age of 42, he's still my favorite fighter, yet I think the fact that he's no spring chicken means he could possibly never have an "exciting" fight again, at least with the style he possesses at this point. If he fought like he did against Trinidad and Joppy he'd probably be the most popular fighter in the game.

3. Hope he figures out when it's time to leave, and that it's appropriate. If he fights Joe Calzaghe, then chances are he retires after that fight, win or lose. His legacy would be that of legend should be do that.

Miguel Cotto(currently)

1. Learn to take his foot off the gas at certain points in a fight/ round

2. Be more conscientous of working his way inside instead of lunging and then move out laterally after getting off.

3. Tape his left arm behind his back and get his right side into the picture( With the exception of his jab). If he could make his right side stronger, more confident, versatile and effective he would be extremely difficult to handle for anyone.

[THe TRiNiTY]

Hopkins:
1. Past his prime.
2. Aside from the Wright fight, has not thrown the type of combinations he did in his earlier efforts.
3. Has a tendancy to lunge in with his head (AKA lead in with his head) Though, depending on how you look at that, it could also be a quality of his.

Barrera:
1. Any speed he may have had has dipped due to age and wars.
2. When he throws the left, he tends to leave himself WIDE open. (As in the Pacman fight)
3. At times, tends to start a bit slow/cold.

Just my opinion.
