Re: Mayweather's weaknesses
Floyd`s only weakness as far as the boxing game goes is,....He lacks Charm.....Period!Floyd could never equal Leonard in this category,because Charm is A NATURAL QUALITY,has nothing to do with winning fight`s however.....
Mayweather was`nt alway`s this unlikeable Guy that many of you have come to hate,if you watch his fight`s prior to Gatti,Floyd would alway`s smile and be very respectful of his opponents,etc....
I think elerby got in his ear prior to the Gatti fight,and said,...Look Floyd this nice Gut shit is not working for you,and Esp in this fight,everybody loves this little bleeder,So you need to be the bad Guy,and let Gatti be the Good guy,and IMO Elerby(SP)WAS DEAD ON BALLS RIGHT,Floyd`s carear has been on A Rocket since then,....Fact is Floyd makes A better Bad Guy,than he does Good,really he`s not that good at either,But his Skills are unquestionable.
As far as Judah is concerned,what I seen in the fight,was Mayweather just like A Fukin old time Pro,give Judah just enough rope to hang himself,everything Judah got in those first 3 rounds Mayweather gave him,felt Judah out,let Judah build up A little confidence,take some chances that he should`nt have and then went on to Whup his ass good and proper!,...After the 3rd round Judah did`nt win another second of that fight,and was on his way to getting stopped before he Cowarly fouled Mayweather.

Agreed if Judah hadn't gone for the low blow & the thing on the back of the head he would've been outta there. All the stuff afterwards actually gave Judah time to get back into it at least from getting knocked out. There are obviously weaknesses, such as against southpaws, which is OF COURSE why Manny would beat him :rolleyes:, but people used the first Castillo fight to show why Hatton would beat him, the fact is he's learnt from all of that, and if he comes back I can't see any of the current crop beating him, the most likely being Cotto, but even then I think they'd find a way to beat him.
Re: Mayweather's weaknesses
Mayweathers weakness is constant pressure like Castillo did in the first fight. The[IMG]file:///C:/Users/terrorsid/Desktop/mayweather_hatton_boxing_400a.jpg[/IMG] only problem is he uses his elbows in every fight. But he does it so slick.... these boxer get confused then after a while those pop shot become easy. Hatton was a prime example
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0qclW1dag8 Watch this video and give me your thought and actually count the elbows you'll be amazed. And this is the only way he handled lil Hattons pressure so how would it have been if he faced Cotto???
Re: Mayweather's weaknesses
Well the only one i can see beating him now is a Mosley because he fast has power and the way Mayweather fights off the ropes so much now does not use much lateral movement anymore which if he does with Mosley he while be in trouble that and i dont think Mayweather while have the power to keep Mosley iron chin in check to tell you true still think the fight while happen and as for past fighters Hearns would be a nightmare and i think if the fought 20 times i think Hearns would win like 18 or 19 times and then there is Leonard who i would favor to beat him as well.
Re: Mayweather's weaknesses
I'M not gonna continue on talking about a retired guy BUT how many people on his resume that he beat right now is currently worth something??? BUT Mayweathers the greastest right???

you mean like Hatton? yea he really fell into the gutter since losing to Floyd, only managed to re-establish himself as the #1 Jr.welterweight in the world :rolleyes:, Zab Judah, who although i can't stand, is still a big time player in the title picture at either welter or jr welter, and like Jesus Chavez who's still a top contender in the Lightweight division, he's really fought bums that Mayweather :rolleyes:
Re: Mayweather's weaknesses
One and possibly the only if that of his weaknesses I saw in the Castillo fight is that he can't throw the first punch.
You have to make Mayweather throw the first punch in the exchanges thus leaving himself open.
But thats just my opinion you gotta be fast too.
Re: Mayweather's weaknesses
That's part of being too defensive, thats why people can't come in throwing punches, I think Mayweather has changed two things a lot since the Castillo fight.
1. He ties his opponent up faster instead of going into his shell on the ropes.
2. He is starting to counter more going backwards, and he uses his jab a lot less(which IMO is a bad thing because his jab was amazing at 130/135).
