name 3 or more flaws you see in floyd

[Pullcounter]

Floyd really has no flaws.

I can make a great assessment on Floyd because I seen all 40 of his fights.

damn dude, floyd needs to hire you and get rid of ellerbe

Yeah because owning a boxers career set is a crime.

some poster said floyd was flawless. True or false?

name 3 or more flaws you see in floyd.

here's my 3:

1) stopped throwing combinations (was a lethal combination puncher south of 140)

2) does not fully commit to his punches (might be a issue with his hands)

3) sometimes he backs into the ropes and stays there

Floyd is a very complete fighter, and see here you have named 3 things which aren't even bad flaws. I agree with the nice combinations, but he is still effective without them. The hands thing isn't really a stylistic flaw, but yeah it is true his hands are bad and he can't load up on every shot.


When he backs to the ropes he still isn't getting hit much. However if he was in there with a smart, mauling pressure fighter like Duran he wouldn't want to be backing to the ropes at all, however Floyd is smart enough to know that himself, he get's away with what he can on a particular opponent, but knows to modify what he's doing depending on who he is in there with.

To be honest from where I'm standing Floyd has no real glaring flaws in his game. But he does have some moderate weaknesses, like his low punch rate these days, as well as his bad hands, which could end up costing him a close fight.

But if we are talking real bad flaws, like how Shane has trouble with a good jab, how Oscar dropped off late in fights, Cotto being open for the uppercut etc....Then no, I can't see anything like that in Floyd.

I wish he committed to his punches like he used to... probably a mental thing of not injuring his hands again

avarage power, theres faster fighters out there, avarage height for the weightclass, low punch output, safety first approach...............so in short, outpointable by a good big man who can keep him over-defensive and outwork him

how is that a Flaw it's a technique he became famous doing that shoulder roll explain to me how is that a flaw

[PH|L]

1. He can't keep a high output.
2. He doesn't throw many combinations.
3. He doesn't like to lead against rangy fighters

never said it was a crime. but you do ellerbe's job better than ellerbe.

What makes you think he can't keep a high output? He can beat people without working very hard...

I'm sure he has a safety first approach because bigger men hit harder...

He really doesn't throw combos anymore though...

[immortal tech]

no real K.O power if he really needs one or is behind on the cards is the only real flaw I could think of for Floyd
