This is my 1 problem with him. Im a huge JMM fan. I remember when MAB & EM were in there prime and killing everyone, I always felt that JMM was the best of the 3. He was just a brilliant techniqal fighter. Then the fight came with Pac. Keep in mind that I was a big Pac fan at the time also. Everyone came away sweating both guys after that fight but I came away dissapointed in both guys. Pac blew a 4pt first round lead while throwing basicaly one punch the whole fight while JMM is supposed to be this brilliant technician but got hit with the same punch over & over again the whole fight.
Now obviously both guys have improved alot since then but nearly every single JMM fight I watch is the same. He still takes a ton of clean shots in every fight and I just dont get it. There are alot of guys who take a ton of clean shots but I dont care because I dont consider then to be the brilliant technique guys like JMM. I see all the other pure boxers and they dont take those same clean shots, e****aly the elite guys. Now I use to cut JMM a break because some of those fights were against Southpaws which can always catch you but he was even getting hit clean by average Southpaws. Then I also cut him a break because he a counter puncher but he still is pretty aggressive but still. He's fighting righties like Diaz, an older MAB, and he's still taking too many shots if you ask me. Even in the 2nd Pac fight.
I look at a guy like Floyd and in his prime, I cant see a right handed fighter hitting him with hardly a single clean punch. Even if he fought the WW's right now, I dont think none of them would hit him clean. Thats not to say they cant win by just overpowering him and lighting up his arms, shoulders, and gloves but I cant see him taking the shots JMM takes. I just dont think JMM should be taking those kind of shots for the kind of fighter he is. Its like on one hand he's the best techniqal figher in the game and on the other hand he's the worst defensive guy in the game and those 2 things dont usually go together. If you have great techniqe then you usually have good D and he's also considered to be one of the smartest guys out there. How does he get hit clean so much, he gets staggered, and he's busted up in nearly every fight. Even against average guys he gets swolle up
