Stright shots was his weakness,Cotto had succes with it,he had no stamina or chin to keep the tempo,but it was easier to hit floyd with stright punches then anyother shots ,cuas they fast and harder to predict,imo fighters wasnt useing them enough,just my observations

Most of you guys dont see what Floyd does , the subtle changes he makes on the fly is what made him great , its not any single trait he has its the blending of his all .

It wasn't any particular punch that was his "weakness", it was the delivery. Maidana used awkward angled punches, which throw you off if you're a drill/reflex oriented fighter like Floyd. Straight shots got to him when they were preceded by a feint or movement that signaled a different kind of attack. Really didn't matter what they were throwing, it was more about catching him unprepared (which didn't happen often).

He had no glaring defensive weaknesses... Someone with an amazing jab would have given him some issues but I'm sure he'd just adapt and find a way to take it away.

As for looping shots the overhand right or any left from a southpaw really
Strangely no one could touch him with the orthy left hook
It wasn't bad enough to be called weakness but these shots did land

Floyd has a good jab himself
Oscar was pretty much loss when Floyd started jabbing back
