Top Fighters and their OBVIOUS technical flaws...

[And Still]

Floyd, Jr: I respect Sugar ray Robinson. He was a helluva fighter. But I'm better than Sugar ray.

Larry Holmes: Rocky Marciano couldn't carry my jock.

True story.

And, did Holmes get any backlash from that comment?

Yes... because it was insulting. What Floyd said wasn't insulting.

Right?

But, he always said he could beat Marciano, that Rocky was too slow for him. Some people take that as disrespect and that is why I mentioned it as such...

No, he said Marciano had the best chance of beating him and and told the interviewer that
"Marciano was much better then Frazier and you know what he did too me"
Said that style for style he didn't know who would win :P, later on he did say that on their best days Ali would have the edge but it could go either way.

Thats Ali being too modest, Marciano was too small.

floyds :lack of combination punching and activity

.

Floyd not throwing combos in every fight isn't a flaw, it's a choice.

When he doesn't feel threatened (Gatti) he lets his hands go. When he feels he has a good enough opponent in front of him, that he can't show off his entire arsenal against, he gets into auto-pilot mode and gets on his bicycle.

Can someone explain why Floyd not throwing combos is a flaw?

This dude barely loses rounds and is undefeated. It must be working no?

clottey - flat footed, stands straight up, doesnt move his head at all.. a big ass target basicly, hes good at catching shots on the gloves and arms but since he puts all of his weight on the backfoot whenever he does so he takes away his ability to counter.

.

It's funny that nobody has mentioned Arthur Abraham, he basically does the same thing. It's amazing how far it has gotten him though.

i dont get it, he's throwing the punches correctly

You throw a right hand from your right foot with your left leg flailing in the air?

good luck in your career, champ.
