What are some weaknesses of the Mayweather jr style?

[-PBP-]

His lost to Castillo in the first, which shows you need legs to have that style.

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

That is the thing ... look at Floyd's resume and they are missing something ....
- some have height but are passed it in age
- too many came up from 135/140 to 147 and either needed more seasoning or didn't belong at 147 (ie. Marquez, Hatton, Sharmba,... and Khan was supposed to be NEXT!)
- Some could have but didn't have it at WW and were inconsistent in many ways (ie. Judah)
- Some had NOTHING (ie. Baldomir)
- Some were naive (ie. Ortiz)

You can't be serious, lmao!

^Yeah...Good Luck with that Search! Well actually it is some fans with those attributes but the Casual Fans don't want to see them against Mayweather, the want to see Pacquiao or Canelo beat Mayweather and IMO that is NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN! Not with the Flaws they have!

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.

You can't be serious, lmao!

Please break it down Frank .... I would like to know what you mean.

I'm trying to say is that Floyd's opponents lacked the attributes required to beat Floyd. Some in one area while others in other areas. You don't agree?

It's always some kind of weirdo outlook. What are some of Floyds weaknesses? That's all posters want to know. You always speak of Floyd with Pacquiao overtones. Yeah I know, I know...nobody mentioned Pacquiao, lmao. Weaknesses please!

We were clearly asked what are Floyds weaknesses, not his opponents, lmao!

[Kagami Taiga]

He has not only beaten but he has DOMINATED EVERY southpaw he has faced

Not every. There was one southpaw very early in career that gave him a bit of trouble. Close fight. Floyd won.

wrong .... it was about his style of fighting and if that style has weaknesses ..... names were introduced as part of the thread later on .... but I guess that you didn't pick up on that ....

Demps, come on...early in his career. That ESPN fight?
