List three flaws of your favorite fighter

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

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

And try to be a bit technical.

1. He fails to move his head as much as he should.

2. He is a bit of a dirty fighter.

3. He has good power but fails to sit down on his punches, resulting in a sometimes "slappy" style.

4. He may have done *******.

James Toney
1. He is fat all the time.
2. He tried using steroids again
3. He doesn't have anything left really.
4. He thinks that he has never lost a fight.

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

I added a bonus for you

Floyd Mayweather
1.Fights defensivley first which causes him to not go for the kill
2.Tends to stop throwing punches and allows fighters to throw punches which may not affect him but will win rounds
3.Does not throw as much as he should which will also have him lose rounds against a fighter that will constantly throw

Roy Jones
1. Relies on his athletic ability to the point where he is VERY unorthodox
2.Tends to fight safety first to the point where he will not go for the kill even when he has someone hurt, which may backfire against him.
3.If caught, may go down due to having a less than stellar chin.

My favourite fighters have all retired, but I'll list their flaws and then my current favourite fighters

Michael Nunn - Lazyness in preperation, sometimes lazy with the jab he would just paw instead of snapping it. Also lazy in his workrate always seemed content to just do enough. ****yness, thought he was so good that he didn't need to hold his hands up and defend himself, would also hang his chin right out to be hit. Also when throwing combos would slap with the inside of the glove, abit like Joe Calzaghe. All of these cost him victory against Toney who he played with for 9 rounds. Never the same fighter after that, lost all his confidence and what little drive he had. Could have been one of the greats.

Lennox Lewis - Had different flaws at different stages of his career. Early on very amatuerish, feet to wide apart, sometimes off balance and never set himself properly to throw the uppercut and his infighting left a lot to be desired. Later on corrected all of these with the help of Steward, but let himself get to big losing speed of hand and foot. Sometimes wasn't up for the fight as he should have been, the bigger the fight for him the better he was, causing him his 2 defeats, but at least he avenged them. Also as he got bigger it took from his stamina, and only tended to do just enough, luckily he was technical brilliant and could control the pace of a fight.

Mike Tyson - One dimensional but in defense of him at his size he could only really fight one way, could only fight for 6-7 rounds before neglecting everything he was great at and then looking for the single shot. Confidence, was sky high when knocking people over, but if you stood up to him it really affected his confidence. Heart, don't get me wrong he had a lot of heart, but not the kind like Holyfield or Lewis. When in trouble never really dug as deep as he could letting everything go and going for broke, always looked for the single shot.

I'll do some more another time.

P.S I wonder how many Tyson and Mayweather fans will post. Despite what i've said about Tyson on previous threads, people probably get the impression that I hate the guy, I don't I've always been a real big fan of him and hes one of my all time favourites, it's just I recognize his faults as some don't like to, maybe they think there betraying him in some kind of way. Hope that's o.k for ya Kayjay

Cotto...

1. He doesnt use his jab enough. Similar to De La Hoya in the fact that both are converted southpaws with power jabs, and have great success when they use them. Niether guy uses it enough though.

2. He gets too focused on the body attack, and leaves himself wide open coming in. Also when he trades he tends to square himself up, and get caught. When you trade with a guy, and he's aiming for your head while you're aiming for your body, you're going to get caught.

3. Lunging in. All you need to see is the Judah fight. He lunges in with his hands low, and it leaves himself too vulnerable.

Michael Katsidis

1. He needs to develop and incorporate a solid jab into his repertiore so he can set up more combinations that may land him that knockout he guns for easier.

2. He needs to become more evasive. He needs to move his head more and learn to bob and weave and also keep his hands up. We all saw his face after his last fight and we can all agree these tactics could keep him from getting Gattied.

3. As much as I love the pressure he puts on I think he needs to slow down a bit and look for more openings. I just don't want to see this guy fall victim to the punchers game. Inevitably someone will be able to solve that and then it's over.

I forgot to mention, wonderful idea for a thread KJ. It forces people to be real about themselves when it comes to being a fan, and stop being blind to their fighters flaws.

[Eno]

Zab Judah
1. He doesn't throw combinations and gets discouraged if he can't knock you out right away.
2. He runs for the rest of the fight if he gets hurt once
3. He's a ***



JK about the last one guys

[kayjay]
