What are some weaknesses of the Mayweather jr style?

[ADP02]

My hero, lmao. You truly are bothered by Mayweathers fans. All I want to see are a list of Floyds weaknesses. Many posters here gave phony off topic answers that didn't even make sense...with the underlined thought of one upping Floyds fans rather than just listing his weaknesses.

Why should I be bothered ... I just bring up my points just like everyone else .... some agree and some don't.

I just brought up weaknesses in that style .... then it took its natural course of Floyd's weaknesses ..... and people commented ..... not sure what the problem is or was.

What are Floyds weaknesses. Is he open for a right hand yes. Left hand, yes, jabs yes...bodyshots nooooooo! That's all. We don't need no life time achievement award speech.

In other words, I'm just not gettin it.

[KnockUTheFukOut]

Floyd has the edge but Manny has a few of those attributes that can give Floyd problems. Manny is a southpaw with power and who has a high work-rate. Some bring up Marquez but Floyd doesn't take as much risks as Marquez and therefore fights differently .... even though they are both good counter punchers.

I'm wondering if Manny can still maintain that high work-rate as he used to but if there is anyone that would motivate him to get back to that level, its fighting Floyd .... but sometimes, you can't get back what you lost ... we will see.

The size advantage is still part of this equation with the advantage going to Floyd.

Canelo is still young and needs better quality opponents before we can judge. So far, he lacks the workrate but perhaps can make it up in other areas .... but its way way to soon to put him in with Floyd .... but I can see this happening more due to money than Canelo being ready to fight someone like Floyd.

Manny Flaws have been exposes even more his last 2 fights, no disrespect to Manny but even a chance of his winning by "A PUNCHERS CHANCE" to me is now out the door...The biggest Misconception when it comes to Mayweather is that you will be able to just go out and swing wildly and out-work him...that Work Rate is not going to be the same when your MISSING MOST OF YOUR PUNCHES or he is Rolling and most of your punches are hitting Arms and Gloves, this is not the Olympics, people are expecting Judges to Score Flurries that are not landing clean? lol Then on top of that your being COUNTERED every time you throw a punch...not only that but for Pacquiao to be effect, he needs his opponents to COME TO HIM so he can then use his HAD SPEED and pick them apart, Mayweather is not going to "COME TO PACQUIAO" he is going to do what JMM did to Pacquiao 3 Times but even better, he is going to sit back and WAIT for Pacquiao to make a mistake then Make him Pay

As for Canelo? YOUTH IS THE ONLY THING ON HIS SIDE! But again the HOLES IN THEIR GAMES is what people don't talk about much, Fans talk as if Punches won't be come back at Canelo and Pacquiao and they have this misconception that "Mayweather Don't Hit Hard...So Canelo and/or Pacquiao Will Be Able To Just Walk Through His Punches And Out Work Him" that is not going to happen, Mayweather is going to be ROLLING and coming back with Punches

But a fighter that does have EVERYTHING to beat Mayweather is someone like Austin Trout actually...LONG, RANGY, SKILLED, Good Defense, Jab, High In Ring IQ and a TRUE BOXER not some guy just come out looking for a LUCKY KO! Has the ability to make adjustments as the fight goes as well. But again Casual and most Boxing fans are not going to want to see that so it will never happen but at 154 it is no question in my mind Trout gives Mayweather MAJOR PROBLEMS

Threadstarter talking about shoulder roll style. He didn't use the shoulder in his younger days when the Castillo fight took place.

Floyds been using the shoulder roll his entire career/life

[pbftxrs316]

unconventional angles from a southpaw ala chop chop corley but this is when he decides to fight you---he leaves himself open but he adjusts so well, it only hurts his opponents--of course the jab but when he was younger he pull countered over jabs very well even against longer fights like n'dou who threw them out there a little lazy---he slaps with his shots which throws his opponents off because there annoying shots but oeffective when he's moving you around at the same time--you have to basically out-mayweather floyd mayweather jr to beat him and that's not happening so get the *** over it-lol


a great jab that is timed perfect will catch him but he makes that one move to offset you and then it's curtains--so he won't be defeated by manny or anybody else--he's a complete fighter like roy jones jr once said about him and as pure as they come like george foreman said---

He has.

Just the way his Dad taught him from the age of very young onwards.

I believe a good long fast jab is the weakness of that style.. we all saw that from cotto.. yes it wasnt a prime may with a prime foot movement but it still showed.. prime pacquiao would have been a different experience for him too since that style has a weakness on southpaws too. yes floyd style is more complicated than that since he has different levels of defenses and is slick on his own with an atg reflexes too..

In my opinion, prime pacquiao style at 147, prime castillo style at 135, and a roy jones style at 147, with a morales/khan style. could beat mayweather.. hatton style would have been a nightmare too at 140 since floyd was still small that time...

a prime margo (WITH wraps) i really dont know..

i didnt say he couldn't work them out but it wouldve been tough for him..

[El_Forklift]

I dont think he has a chin, and if you play a waiting game with jabs it would be more boring but very close (may vs dlh).

Pacquiao is the only person that can bet him in 147 only because of his power speed and the angles. That would tap that chin. And Roach even though his been slipping he knows how to fight floyd.

[hectari]

The Weakness are prime hungry southpaw, relentless pressure fighters with speed and awkward unpredictable angles who can take a punch and confuse him with explosive unorthodox footwork and keep coming with tons of stamina and no quit in them.
