Post three flaws of your favourite boxers in the ring

[BangEM]

Let me go first:

Anthony Joshua

- He plants his feet when he throws his big right and somewhat telegraphs it. I think he has improved it a bit after getting with Joby and Angel and the improvement showed in the Ruiz 2 fight.

- Chin is solid but recovery/conditioning is trash. It's either because he carries too much unnecessary muscles or it's because he doesn't use PEDs like Wilder and Fury who can stay off PEDs.

- He tends to make rookie mistake of rushing in whenever he thinks he hurts a boxer.


Teofimo Lopez

- Not ambidextrous enough and his left hand isn't near as strong as his right hand. Need more work on his left, especially his hooks.

- His conditioning isn't all that.

- Defensively, he's average and gets hit by unnecessary shots especially when he commits and misses.


Terrence Crawford

- He's a slow starter and for a guy with his chin or perhaps his recovery - he can't afford that against a big puncher who can also box.

- He drops his right hand a lot especially when he's in the southpaw stance. And that's a recipe for disaster against a hooker.

- Probably his defence.

Change your avy. I read all your posts in Mike's voice

Juan Diaz:
1) he has no power
2) he didn't dedicate his WHOLE life to boxing
3) he didn't fight Manny Pacquiao.

Man, this kid was on to bigger things, becoming a lawyer, a first in his family. His professor told him "you better protect what's up there, you have a lot of smarts". And the time he called out mp, his face was like wtf did I just say? Not to mention he cried after his first pro loss on fnf's.

Cotto:
-always threw the left jab to the left side of him, never straight.
-had a very weak chin
-had a tendancy to dance on his feet, taking off moments of pressure to mentally reset. I wouldn't be surprised if he ran miles backward in training, to get used to pressure fighters like Margarito.

Toney:
Never in shape,
Smoking on cigars,
Punch-drunk.

...still my favorite hw of all time.

Floyd’s fragile hands shaped him as a boxer

Rarely hurt opponents couldn’t risk injuring his hands

Low action fighter done to preserve his hands

Who would have thought one the best boxers ever has glass hands

Actually makes perfect sense.

Ah I remember him.

The first fight with Marquez was epic!

I think he folds when he gets a cut, he finds it hard to ignore it or deal with flowing blood

But that was towards the end of his career but he still had enough sting to keep boxers honest.

My 3 favorite fighters right now are Spence, Inoue and Bivol and they have no big flaws I am aware of and that is part of why they are my favorite fighters.
