Name some technical flaws or bad habits of Floyd Mayweather

Please no spam or Gayweather type posts, only boxing related posts. I just want to know if anyone can identify any technical flaws or bad habits that Floyd Mayweather has.

Freddie Roach prides himself on finding the opponents flaws and exploiting them, so I want to know if anyone sees anything that Roach could use.

Using his elbow to push at fighter's necks and backing onto the ropes a lot.

his defensive shell has always been the most vulnerable to the body

Are those really flaws or just part of his game? I don't see how those have ever hurt him in fights. The elbow thing is a bit dirty and backing onton the ropes can be dangerous, but he uses those elbows to his advantage and he's excellent fighting on the ropes.

True, but he takes body shots very well. Pacquiao is also not much of a body puncher.

Only punches I've seen bother are the right hook and straight left, even then it was only a couple times.

Tends to only single shots if he can get away with it, won't throw combinations even if they are opportunities. Used to be able to has changed somewhat since earlier in his career.

I'm grabbing at straws here because he really makes very few mistakes.

his known shoulder roll defense is not effective against lefties with good timing.

Is Floyd's potshotting really a flaw? Or just his way of fighting?

I don't know that to be true, but okay fair enough.

Maybe Roach can exploit that.

one thing that I noticed in the JMM fight is that JMM started to counter Floyd with a straight right hand when Floyd threw his left hook. Now we know that JMM is a great counterpuncher and after Floyd popped him about 4-5 times with it, JMM made a nice adjustment. Also, sometimes on the the ropes when he pulls back (maybe not pull back far enough) he gets touched with the right hand, I noticed that in the JMM fight as well..someone has that gif in their sig.
