Name the weaknesses of your favourite fighters.

[Pugilistic]

Bernard Hopkins - Bad workrate, Clinches too often.

[Dark Lord Al]

Tommy Hearns - didnt like to be pushed around , suspect chin.

[OumaFan]

Hopkins-unwatchable these days, doesn't have the legs anymore
Joan Guzman-gets a bit wild at times, doesn't train seriously enough, stamina, lack of big time power
Kassim Ouma-these days, pretty much everything, oh well
Juan Diaz-lack of power, when he gets behind he can't turn a fight around with a big punch, maybe a bit weak in the body, defense could be better
Jorge Linares-stamina looked slightly iffy last time out, can go a bit defensive for too long, chin still a bit of a mystery
Miguel Cotto-chin? not sure if it really is anymore, we'll see, still a bit open for a few punches, overhand right, uppercut
Christian Mijares-power maybe, not a huge puncher, can go a bit too defensive at times

[leftylee]

Hatton - blows up like Rikishi between fights, clinches too much, bad things happen when he comes into contact with a ringpost.

[OumaFan]

good thread, rep'd.

[OumaFan]

Throw in a few more

Pavlik-very heavy footed, bit predicable at times, sometimes leaky defense
Anthony and Lamont Peterson-Don't jab enough, cover up for too long a time without throwing anything.

[RozzySean]

Duran - bad case of Hattonitis. This illness, common among boxers, causes a person to swell to twice their normal size between fights.

[pacfan]

Pac - non. He's just incredible, who else can use his head to block his opponent's shots.

[JT Rock]

Mayweather- Sometimes stays on the ropes ducking and jiving, when his reflexes start to go it may be a detriment.

Jeff Lacy- Blocks more punches with his face than his gloves

David Haye-Cocky with a bit of a chin

Edison Miranda- bit of a porous defense and loops his punces a bit

Pavlik- Plods like a piece of construction equipment

Margarito- Combo of Pavlik and miranda

[:::PSL:::]

I got 1 for mah boi Pac.

He still gets off balance everytime he throws the full blast straight left. It's easy for his opponents to counter him if he misses. But I'm glad he's doing a little improvements by being elusive now...

[Macho]

Well Mayweather he like run too much.......

[GAME]

Marco Barrera -

He didnt always take the opponent seriously and would enter the ring not 100% focused ie Pac , Jones

Lennox Lewis -

He didnt always take the opponent seriously and would enter the ring not 100% focused ie Rahman , Mcall




I think in both instances in the rematches they proved that the 1st fights were a fluke.

[Macho]

That was a joke for have some sense of humor , but for me Tito Trinidad have just one style that is easy to read , he dont have any others technicals for fight...................

[Pavlik]

I got 1 for mah boi Pac.

He still gets off balance everytime he throws the full blast straight left. It's easy for his opponents to counter him if he misses. But I'm glad he's doing a little improvements by being elusive now...

You beat me to it Bro, I was about to say that.
If PAC can improve his balance when he tries to recover from his lunging straightleft he is pretty much a Tank.
At this stage in PAC's career there is not much to change from him anymore other than maintain his top conditioning and improve his balance.
All in all though he is much improved:
1. His defense improved he was blocking alot of JMM's punches with his gloves.
2. Though still lacking his balance has improved as compared to before.
3. Right hand is big time improvement.

PAVLIK:
Permeable Defense and sometimes plodding.

COTTO:
Not perfect defense but who has, other than PBF

[Taeth]

Floyd Mayweather Jr: not enough movement, especially laterally. I think he is too smart on the ropes that he will never slow down enough to be a sitting duck off of the ropes because he also has great technical defensive skills, but he shouldn't on the ropes so much.

Roy JOnes Jr: I have always hated that he doesn't have to be forced to get on the ropes. Since a certain point at lightheavywieght Roy decided nobody could hit him off the ropes because he was so fast, until lately, but he is changing his style.

Miguel Cotto: doesn't box as much as he should, though he did a lot more against Mosley and Gomez

Manny Pacquaio: why didn't he throw more 1-2's? I see that he has problems forcing a specific distance or adapting to distance in fights, and that he didn't show the defensive improvements he did against Morrales and Barrera against Marquez in their second fight... he also went back to just loading up the left hand without setting it up, and without following it up.

Bernard: Too old
Winky: I still think he has a few great fights left in him, but right now in the divisions he is in he's on the back burner where he shouldn't be, but obviously lack of power has always been his flaw, and gasing out late.

Joe Calzaghe: I know he had hand problems, but where did that power go he used to have? And I have always felt he would have problems with skilled movers, and B-Hop confirmed that.

Yuriorkis Gamboa: too cocky, and lacks concentration at some points.

Wladimir Klitschko: has had the tendency not to step on the gas lately in fights.
