Thread: Fighters's Kryptonite.

Every fighter has their weakness. What are the weaknesses of some of the top fighters?

Tim Bradley - Bravado

If we talking about men, for most its women.

Ali, Holy field, Tyson etc - women
Nunn, dokes, Bert cooper - drugs
Khan, Hearns, - chin
Lennox, - complacency
Calzaghe, Fenech, - brittle hands
Floyd, Whitaker, Chavez - age

Oscar De La Hoya - Women, cocaine, low stamina in higher weight classes, underdeveloped right hand punch, multiple trainers

Felix Trinidad - Women, knocked down often( related to his aggressive style ), one-dimensional at times

Danny Garcia - No personality= no marketability so the father must speak for him, no significant fights since Lucas, too technical so he does not look good like against the more natural fighter Herrera, holding is a signum

i have a personal theory about Sonny Liston.

Sonny was a genuinely tough, scary and terrifying guy, who was one of the greatest intimidators in boxing history .... And I include Joe Louis and Mike Tyson in that assessment. He had fights won before he even stepped into the ring.

I think Muhammad Ali inadvertently found the kryptonite to defuse Sonny.

Liston was frightened of nobody, but (in prison) he would avoid mentally ill inmates as "you can't tell what they might do" ...... I suspect that Sonny ended up truly believing that Ali was crazy, and thus completely unpredictable.

Ironically, whilst Ali has since admitted that the only opponent who really scared him was Sonny Liston, I suspect that Liston was also, and even more, afraid of Ali.

Just a theory

FOOD!
Damn...

Floyd-I think its speedy moving, clever, fast southpaws. His entire family has admitted it many times by simply saying the dont like them. Corley gave him issues, Judah gave him trouble. I dont include Ortiz or Guerrero as they are not good movers, speedy or smart. Even two converted southpaws gave him problems in Cotto and Oscar. I think its one of the clear problems for the shoulder roll D from the ortho side.

Manny-Straight right hand. Not just because he is a leftie but because of how he darts in and out.

Which is why I say Andrade has a great chance to beat him.

Getting clocked whilst moving in or throwing. Sparked many a great fighter and will continue to. It's like Russian roulette and will forever keep it interesting.
