    Shakur Stevenson doesn't have a weakness, he's a perfect fighter that's pretty much unbeatable.

        Oleksandr Usyk - Body shots

        Charlie Zelenoff - Stamina

        Golovkin - Slow

        Roy Jones Jr - Chin

        Mike Tyson - Heart when the going gets tough.

        Seven examples. All Hall of Famers. Does anybody have it all? Nash out
        Floyd the least vulnerable we have ever seen. His defence was crazy.

        But he wasn't tested as he should have been. He seemed to be a bit vulnerable to left handers, so it's quite possible Sergio Martinez, Paul Williams or Lara would have caused him huge problems.

          So try again.
          Nash did not say he could not take a punch, but said like a tree he can't rise from a fall. As stated, 2 knockdown, knocked out twice. Fury has been down 7 times I think and always rised from the floor. Nash out

              They're all people of course they get hurt and tried but I think stylistic specialists are prone to getting beaten by other specialists who are better fighters and impose their style on their opponent.

              A better defensive boxer will counter and pot shot a come forward pressure fighter who isn't as good as him and a come forward pressure fighter will get inside and outwork maybe a break down a boxer mover who isn't as good as him.

                  Conquered Boxing, UFC (McGregor) Wrestling (the Big Show) and exhibitions (Logan Paul) The only thing missing from his all-combat resume was a street fight with Brian Sutherland. So, maybe that's his weakness. Nash out

                    Long range fighters generally lose to pressure fighters, but tend to beat everybody else including punchers. Punchers are mid to long range fighters with good technique but less footwork than long range fighters,

                      A good jab. Even Roger mentioned that (or it could have been Sr.)

                      Oscar was hitting floyd flush and frequently with his jab, and then abandoned it.
