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 jabOriginally posted by kayjay View PostAlso, try to come up with flaws that other posters haven't mentioned.
And try to be a bit technical.

2. He is so good, nobody wants to fight him.
3. He doesn't exist.

Mike Tyson, prime:
1- Balance, or rather lack of. He often stood with his feet side by side, making him easy to push off and manhandle him in clinches.
2- Lack of a straight right. He always punch his right hand while leaning his upper body to the left, taking away alot of power and making the punch more over-the-top than straight.
3- Footwork. Somewhere along the way of becoming a champion, Mike got away from the side-to-side movements he use to do on the inside, where he jumped to the side of the opponent, making it impossible to hit him.
Three, four punches, jump to the other side, repeat...
Probably the most draining style in the world to both do and face.
Bernard Hopkins, now:
1- Overly cautious, making him appear fragile and gun-shy.
2- Leaping in with his head down. It's illegal and dangerous for the opponent, as well as making it dangerous for Hopkins if he meets someone with a good uppercut.
3- Guard. Lately he's been letting his left hand hanging by his waste instead of the high guard he used to have.
I see more and more fighters do this, maybe they're all trying to be Mayweather?
It was totally laughable to watch Arturo Gatti do it in his last fight.
