Did Mayweather Have Any Weaknesses

[Metho_4u]

Boxing decisions are subjective and highly debatable. The three official judges don't speak for me. You've seen how pathetic they've been as of late.

Yes, but those 3 judges are the only ones that matter

Floyd weaknesses are those that have always been built into the philly shell. A good consistent left hook to keep the counter right hand at home. Don't throw rights to the head as they WILL get shoulder rolled and countered with the right. High activity and doubling up on punches will see Floyd abandon the shell. The ability to stance switch and have a good straight left would help.

It would have taken an incredibly unorthodox guy to get to Floyd with any kind of consistency. But once he switches to the high guard after realising he shell isn't working it's going to take a whole second set of tactics based around head movement and the uppercut.

In short a boxing genius. Sugar Ray Robinson probably beats him 8 out 10.

Hes not the best offensive fighter
Fortunately he never fought a great boxer in his prime with greater reach making Floyd come forward, closest was ODH
Floyd is a counterpuncher and always fought opponents which suited his strengths

Floyd has issues fighting guys longer than him who have good timing. Conor did well early mostly because hes taller and longer than Floyd.

For his whole career he only fought 3-4 guys with longer reach than him. If he would have fought guys like Forrest, Williams, Martinez then he would have had real issues.

Vernon Forrest had the perfect physicality and the style to beat Floyd .

A 6ft txtbook fighter with a great jab and straight right like forrest would have been a nightmare for floyd.

Styles make fights. Prime Mayorga at 147 was relentless and unpredictable.

Maidana arguably beat floyd the first time. Mayorga could have put a beating on Floyd .

I'd give prime Mayorga more chance to beat Floyd than Forrest.
