It's not from the 24/7 it's actually from another thing that HBO does called Face Off where they sit with boxers or in this case boxers & trainers and talk about the fight leading up to it.
They also did one for Cotto-Margarito 2, I think they do it for fights which don't have a 24/7 but I'm not 100% sure on that..
Anywho here it is...
I seldom involve myself in the pacman threads but I'll say this. Every champ has a weakness. To imply that a fighter is flawless or has plan that can't be defeated is a silly notion.
Tyson had a hard time vs tall boxers or infighters, Ali couldn't lead. Chavez had a hard time against boxers who gave him angles. Martinez gasses out in mid rounds..etc..etc
Moreover if you know a boxer's weakness it doesn't necessarily mean success for you in the ring against them.

The Best There Is, The Best There Was, The Best There Ever Will Be
Stiff jabs to the Chest as De La Hoya demonstrated or if you want ugly, get inside with the tightest shortest body punches you can muster. Alternately you can try to fight him at range and coax the counter puncher to be aggressive although the likelihood of success using that plan is grim.
Oh Roy Jones couldn't night fight against the ropes; Hopkins can get hustled by a volume puncher. Tony goes into defensive lulls for quite a while. Vitali always pulls back straight and is at a risk of a straight punch being thrown by a boxer stepping with him, Wlad sadly has no inside game. Lennox has....long list. The only boxer I really have to think about and still got no real flaw for is Sweet Pea even though I'm sure it exists.
