    Wrong again! ... but at least you made a partial effort FOR JUST ONE SENTENCE to stick to the threads discussion instead of just trying to protect your hero, Floyd, at all costs! ....


    What I meant as wrong again: The body can be exposed with that style. If arms are held to far apart, that leaves the opponent to go down the middle ... if you close the gap, you leave the outer perimeter exposed ..... especially the front .... which is Floyd's left side .... it gets exposed. This is more true when Floyd angles himself away from his opponent to try to protect his head but he then leaves his body exposed.

    More so is that one of Floyd's flaws is that he has a tendency to raise his left elbow and therefore exposing the body.

    Did I say enough?

      All sounds good to your feeble brain , but there is one big element that changes the game , REACTION , what Floyd does to your every move , why is that what you think is an opening is never seen by all the elite fighters to face him , why ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, REACTION , he closes the gate and makes you pay , its not the style its the brain running it .

          Some of you Floyd fans can't discuss without having to insult people. It's cool that you disagree but don't go down to that level.

          We are discussing weaknesses in Floyd's style .... all styles have strengths and weaknesses (pros and cons). That said, it's not always easy to just expose ones weakness especially someone who is also athletic like Floyd and with his skills. That said, if you can find an opponent who can do it, then one would see how that style has those weaknesses.

            By the way, I would have a very hard time coming up with elite fighters who faced Mayweather .... especially if you take into consideration an elite fighter who was in his prime and in his career fighting weight division.

            Can you?

                The myth that pressure fighters bother Floyd is a myth. Floyd solved that problem during the first Castillo fight. Who has pressured him for 12 since, lmao?

                    Mayweather's only weakness is a good fast jab, too bad there isn't a boxer around his weight class that has that. :''(

                      floyd has an average chin... which is probably why he doesn't take to many risks with it
