    I know he mixes his punches up, but there's flaws in every boxers arsenal that someone can exploit. No boxer is unbeatable, they are flesh and blood. It doesn't matter how great their defense is if you can exploit their weaknesses. Everyone has a weakness, and sometimes ones greatest strength can be also one of their greatest weakness... If that makes sense which it might not, I just thought it sound good to type.

It's like people don't study tapes of Floyd at all or they some how miss that. Or maybe its different watching him always do that to someones jab then actually being in the ring and trying to counter that some how.
      thats right just dont jab vs floyd and you wont get countered...

            I call it the trigger punch. He just pull back and release.

                That is the definition of a counterpuncher. Nice Vid, PED User.

                  Anything can be exploited and made into a flaw. But it takes someone to actually do it.

                  A lot of boxers out there "mix it up", but they don't do it particularly well. Then fighters that have their "arsenal" of moves, but they do them very well and opponents find it hard to deal with it.

                  Many said that Manny only darted in and out with the left and a counter right hook. Well why did they all find themselves on the floor? Because he does what he does well.

                  Floyd does his pull counter, lead rights, left lefts and shoulder roll very well. Someone down the line may exploit it, but until then, it's a beauty to watch.

                  I think the thing that MAY be exploited as he's older is his lead right to the body. But for now, he's unmatched.

                    The lesson from this and I think you'll see is that you should double your jab or at least throw multiple punches. Every shot there was countered as the person was only throwing single shots.
                    A double jab may disrupt the rhythm and timing of the counter

                      it wouldnt work against Manny. once Manny land his left jab you know whats next right? the combination will follow. FLoyd would be backing up and run from him. specially if Manny can take Floyd punches? its all over for him. he can counter all he wants as long as Manny's left jab and right hook will land.
