Name some technical flaws or bad habits of Floyd Mayweather

[GG Marquez]

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

How is it a flaw if I have never seen him hurt to the body in 40 fights?

Please hook me up and show the rounds/fights where he got hurt to the body. Thanks.

Floyd has really never been seriously hurt to my knowledge.

[Imhotep]

Hardly any.Floyd`s fight strategy varies from opponent to opponent so he does`nt do the same thing every fight.

trying to roll a southpaw, terrible terrible habit

First, Jesus Chavez was not quick or speedy. Augustus's offense is nowhere near Pac's level he was not quick either. Freddy Roach doesn't need to change Pacquiao. Pac's offense is good enough to keep Floyd on the defensive every second of every round.

Pac has never put any fighter on the defensive for every second of every round. You're speaking in fairy tale language. No fighter in the world can fight offensively for 3 minutes of every round.

In the Cotto fight, Pacquiao took breaks because he DID get fatigued throwing some many shots throughout the course of the fight. He wasn't playing possum; he gassed out because of his own output. Now you're asking Pacquiao to be even MORE offensive in fight against the best counter puncher in the sport and do it non-stop for 36 minutes. Pacquiao would get stopped with that type of game plan, and with all due respect he's lucky he doesn't have you advising him in the corner.

If Floyd feels Pac's power, he won't take risks.

Floyd takes risks everytime he goes into the ring. If you mean open up offensively Floyd will do that if Pacquiao forces the issue and MAKES him fight that fight, sort of like Castillo did in their first fight. Floyd can fight offensively. He did it against Chavez, N'Dou, Gatti, and numerous other fighters.

Nothing messes up a counter puncher, more than tying up his punches with a swarm of combinations, switching angles and then doing it again.

DLH tried to "swarm" Mayeather with hard combinations and Floyd successfully countered in close up against the ropes. There's plenty of animated gifs on boxingscene of just that. Pacquiao brings a bit more hand speed to the table, but I don't believe it'll pay the difference.

As long as you have some head movement with your offense, swarming works well against counter punchers.

Example?

Probably and possible.

You mean Floyd is PERFECT? But NOBODY IS PERFECT right? And i still believe that nobody is invincible in boxing, everybody has it's flaws & weaknesses.

I think Roach saw something that we couldn't see coz we're not trainer. I'll give the benefit of the doubt to Roach.

i never said he was perfect. i said hes an enigma. there is a difference between perfection and an enigma

[NYU Alum.]

His poor workrate to me is his worst habit. The PAC - Floyd may come down to who wins in the exchanges, I likes PAC chances if it comes down to that.

Why would you ask a Message Board of non experts this question? It's not like anyone on NSB actually knows what the *** they are talking about!

[Bushidō]

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

those really aren't weaknesses. If anything the elbow thing is dirty cause it throws the opponents off for a split second and thats when he throws his right hand. And he backs into the ropes to be able to see things clearly and counter

[Pullcounter]

How is it his problem that he's better than everyone?

how do you know floyd is better than everyone if he won't fight everyone????
