Name some technical flaws or bad habits of Floyd Mayweather

[Spacey1991]

Not throwing much combinations is all I can think of to be honest, and even Floyd agrees and said he will be working on that. Also you can say that he is kinda open to the body when using the shoulder roll but I haven't seen him pay for it yet so I aint sure whether I can say that.

To be honest he is such a smart and technically sound fighter that it is extremely hard to find mistakes on his part. Roach will have to work very hard to come up with a gameplan if he fights Pacquiao.

Mayweather doesn't throw combinations anymore.

When he does put punches together, he is very effective.

In fights where floyd has stood and traded he has left his chin in the air and his footwork can get wide at times

[AllEyesOpen]

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.

That is true, but what helped Floyd most was that he was so much faster then JMM, plus JMM wasn't engaging enough. Mayweather does have bad habits but he's so quick that it's almost impossible to take advantage. Pac's best weapon will be his right jab cause Floyd keeps his left hand low most of the time followed by a straight left as well as fast hard hooks to the body. The only gameplan i think would work best is to to cut off the ring and keep floyd's back against the ropes.

I think we've found some bad habits. No definitive flaws though.

Potshotter, Marquez caught him with right hands when he was laying on the ropes, rarely throws combos anymore...

[wizard king]

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

exactly,you have to be a great body puncher like jcc to crack his shell once thats done pbf is done.

thats because jmm was head huting the wrong plan against pbf. duran told jmm you got to work the body against a fighter like pbf his camp didt take that advice. just look at the 1st castillo fight body punching and inside fighting gives floyd hella trouble to bad pac cant do nethier

i think the Ts wanted to realy discuss habits.... so im not gonna talk about strategies and techniques like everyone else.....

the only habit i can think of off the top of my head from floyd is

he keeps his hands really low at times but usually when he does it he is far enough from the opponent to get away with it,
also, when floyd is in offensive mode its very easy to tell and anticipate.
he changes his stance and its noticable, now will pacquiao capitalize on that and actually bother defending when floyd goes offensive? idk probably not he probably would counter floyd since he can easily take floyd's punches

[Piper the Great]

floyd can be countered b/c he leaves himself wide open when he punches. He rely on his reflexes to get away. Somebody like shane will expose that.
