Every Great Boxer Has a Flaw

I was saying that about Floyd in the Pac fight. He just has never been a combination punched which is why he struggles the most with pressure fighters. His one punch at a time makes it hard to keep them off of him.

Speaking of flaws, JCC Jr. Vs. Fonfara is being replayed this eve on Showtime. There is a walking flaw in the ring.

You gotta love Goosen and his bitter with referee shows. Fighter loyal! The ref could be handing him money and he'd fine a dispute

Man. This was such a serious breakdown and talent gap on replay. Putting money on never seeing Chavez less than 170 again

Good responses, but not on the mark.

Best example PBF vs Corley. We all know Floyd turned that into a fight. Yet his punches may have came often-but they weren't combos.

PBF vs Gatti. That fight he does throw combos, but they IMO resemble Tarver's combos: kinda robotic.
My argument isn't that Floyd chooses not to throw in combinations: he can't.

He is fast from point A to point B-Not like RJJ, Ray Leonard, they throw fast mad combos.

I totally agree with Manny Stewards assessment of Shane Mosley: his jab is more of a range finder.

Solid, sound and has the fundamentals down.
Hook? Nasty!
But his jab was almost passive. I'd call that a major flaw for such a fine boxer puncher.

Let me tell you about combos.

... and in this case I guess I'll be defending Floyd.

Combos are sometimes overrated. I'd rather see a fighter pick his spots for some well-placed, hard, meaningful shots... than a flurry of useless pitti-pat punches that are nothing but eye candy for the judges. Couple of cases in point: Calzaghe and DLH. I saw several fights where both put together the proverbial combo (the kind a Jim Lampley has orgasms over) and they didn't mean a damn thing. Yes... there are good combinations. But not every combination is a good one. And just because a fighter doesn't throw 20-punch combos doesn't make him any worse than one who does. You rewatch some of those things in slow motion and they don't accomplish a damn thing.

Yeah and he dominated the rematches so what's your point?

That he has flaws

That he has flaws

Yet these so called flaws have never caused him to lose a fight... :roll eyes: even after, you know, nearly 20 years.

Every fighter should aspire to have that flaw.
