Name some technical flaws or bad habits of Floyd Mayweather

[Jiddu Dali]

Well, we saw Pac work on and make that uppercut of his more deadly for the Cotto fight.

I wouldn't be surprised if they work on his body shots next.

Pac has a new facet added to his style in every one of his new outings. Thats what's so amazing about it.

Floyd I view as having a worse corner. Far worse. So he won't have a gameplan particularly..

His gameplan will be to adjust as he goes, like usual.

But can you adjust to someone as chaotic as Pac, without a plan ahead of time?

this is false...lol.@ Far worse corner......

His shell doesn't work well vs Southpaws or people with very fast hands, he can't block shots he can't see.

you cant make claims without proof...please show proof?

wait let me guess..the 1 nice punch Corley got on him or the one Judah got on him?

It's all miniscule little moments from Floyd fights that people blow up into percieved flaws or bad habits.

Floyd is a thinking fighter, he likes to dictate where the fight takes place and at what pace it takes place. When someone can take him out of this he gets flustered. Roach is a smart man and he will give Pacquiao good knowledge.

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

Floyd Mayweather vs Zab Judah

Mayweather dropped first 2 rounds on 2 cards after getting outlanded 11-5 in power shots in opening 6 minutes. Start of round 3 All Floyd from then on, as he outlanded Judah 153-53 in power shots, including 28-2 in the 9th. Floyd played some “D” as well, as Judah landed in single digits in total connects in 10 of 12 rounds.

Rounds 7,8 & 9..Utter dominance


Overall, Mayweather landed 205 of 441 (46%) total punches to 89 of 485 (18%) for Zab.

Floyd also landed 158 of 322 (49%) power shots to 64 of 177 (36%) for Judah, who managed to land just 25 of 308 jabs (8%).

Scoring: 116-112; 117-111; 119-109.

His stance is the perfect prey for Southpaws. Right hand punches will not get through May's shoulder defense unless he is throwing his left hand. But a strong left hook easily connects coz he only protects his open side with a raised up right hand. His defence against a left hook is to move or duck away from the punch...rendering him outbalanced which can be exposed if his fighter throws a lot of combination moving forward.

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

Zab has over 40 Pro fights, began boxing at the age of six and compiled an amateur record of 110–5. He was a two-time US national champion and three-time New York Golden Gloves champion. He also won the 1996 PAL national championship.

wasnt mentally tough?...no stamina? front runner?..I doubt that was the reason..........

The fact of the matter is that Judah thought he would be faster and stronger and he wasnt.

Mayweather didnt have trouble with Zab the first 4 rounds, he was figuring out what Zab brought to the fight. Once he realized all he had was a left hand then Mayweather opened up and let HIS hands go......

Why wasnt Zab Judah so FAST once Mayweather decided to let his hands go?......I WONDER WHY

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.

When going to the ropes....he "allows" himself to get punched so that he can counter....

When getting rushed, he puts his elbows and forearms out to "discourage" the fighter bullrushing him...

His "shoulder roll" doesn't protect against a southpaw's body shots or a straight left....

Against a fighter with enough stamina...his "shell" might break....getting hit on the arms and shoulders enough times might crack that armor.

As with ALL fighters...when Floyd is forced to fight....he opens himself to being countered....

I have never seen Mayweather flustered in a fight...

Whats up with the MYTH that Mayweather has trouble with southpaws?


Floyd Mayweather vs DEMARCUS CORLEY

Mayweather Landed 47% of his 50 punches per round and 53% of his power shots.

Mayweather Outlanded Corley 283-150 in total punches.

Mayweather Dropped Corley in 8th & 10th rounds, landing 28 power shots in 8th & 34 in 10th.

OH and Mayweather shoulder rolled all night on Corley...

8th & 10th rounds...problems with southpaws?


Mayweather Finished strong, outlanding Corley 120-44 in power shots over last 5 rounds.

Scoring: 119-107; 118-108; 119-108

I sincerely hope this isn't ALL Freddie Roach has to go off of to prepare Manny Pacquiao for Floyd Mayweather
