      Floyd does not use the his standard "shoulder-roll" guard when fighting quick southpaws, he keeps both hands up until he has made his adjustments. Watch the Judah fight again.

        as i said before, Floyd is an Enigma. the question now is, can Roach and Pac figure out a game plan where others failed
        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.

          So, he adjusts depending on the fighter, right?

          People say his shoulder roll doesn't work as well with southpaws. Okay, that's why he stopped using it as much with Judah, then continued to dominate the fight.

          Adaptability; some fighters adapt for their opponent before the fight, others adapt during the fight (Calzaghe). But every once in a blue moon a fighter comes along that's able to adapt to the moment. Able to adapt to any situation at any point in the fight. That's why Floyd is so great.

            Right, and Floyd's power is underrated, and power can't even be considered a flaw, it's more of a weakness. Flaws are holes in one's game.

            I still haven't seen anyone give me a true glaring flaw or bad habit.

            Some good attempts and some are on to something, but no one has given me a flaw that I can really say "Yeah, you're right, 100%"
            TRUE...Im telling you as a boxing fan first i think floyd is almost a perfect boxer....hes boring to the occasinal boxing fan. i think his fights are really good cuz its all skills...nothing but pure boxign skills....its crazy to see someone perfect a craft like floyd did boxing....

                He really is. It's amazing that a thread this long really has no definite flaws or bad habits.

                  Floyd does things in the ring that show his immense boxing IQ virtually every fight. I've watched his career since day 1 and I've seen him adjust to virtually every conceivable style, and mature and grow more intelligent. Although Pac is a great fighter who deserves the credit and recognition he's getting, I don't think he'll win more than 3 rounds against Floyd with most if not all of those rounds being won in the first half of the fight.

                    this is not true in any way...

                    merely a myth
