Name some technical flaws or bad habits of Floyd Mayweather

[dans]

Against the right opponent it is, he didn't always used to be like that. The Gatti/Chavez and Corrales fight show what I think is a better version of Floyd.

Possibly. But if Floyd is a fighter that is highly adaptable, and changes depending on his opponent, wouldn't he naturally throw more punches against Pacquiao?

Marquez is a counter puncher, so it wouldn't be effective to stand and trade with him like Pacquiao did. Therefore, Mayweather potshotted and got out of the way before Marquez could counter.

I agree though, I'd like to see him throw more combos.

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.

Is this Roach's way of gathering info on Mayweather's weaknesses?

Short of hiring the right sparring partners?

That's a good idea.

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

Maybe Roach can exploit that.

heck, pac's basic double-jab straight left may work with mayweather. lol! judah hit floyd flush with that.

a recurring theme that I am seeing is this thread is his low output. The crazy thing about that is that he is still winning fights fairly easy with his low output.

Just imagine if he picked it up (because we know he can, he chooses not for some reason) and fought like he did at 130 or 135.

His arrogance!!! If your talking technical flaws then you will struggle, he's like a text book everyhting is just right. not major weakness and very hard to take him away from his gameplan. I'd say use your jab alot, oscar did it and came close. Floyds defence cant block jabs so pepper him with jabs.

People keep telling me how Judah's effort against Mayweather somehow translates to a good sign for Pacquiao. I don't see it.

Remember, Mayweather won that fight by wide margins on all scorecards.

Remember, Judah is a 4 round fighter and wasn't aggressive vs Mayweather.

Needs to be more jab oriented.
Needs to increase his output, atleast 6-8 more punches per round.
Needs to throw more combinations.

I definitely agree with the jab. He needs to jab more against Pacquiao, otherwise Manny will just charge in.

I agree..if anything JMM's performances against Pac is more what a Mayweather victory would be like if one is to make comparisons of their past fights. Based on the fact that JMM countered Pac and put on a nice boxing performance.

Yes. And we have to remember that JMM stays in the pocket more where Pacquiao was able to hit him. Mayweather won't do that.

Remember, Judah is a 4 round fighter and wasn't aggressive vs Mayweather.

That's why Judah isn't a good barometer for anything.

Judah could probably beat Manny in a 4 round fight. lol

thats all and good to say but odl had size reach and one of the best jabs in boxing so it would not be an easytask to emulate ... and besides pac being shorter and having a reach disadvantage he is also a southpaw makes it harder for pac in the jab catagory ...
