Name the weaknesses of your favourite fighters.

[ICB]

Bernard Hopkins - Bad workrate, Clinches too often.

Ahh nice topic.

Larry Holmes = Often didn't get his jab hand up quick enough and was caught with right hands by Snipes, Shavers, because of that.

Floyd Mayweather Jr = Often lays on the ropes too much and allows his opponent's to tee off, even though most of the punches miss but still you get my point.

You know its funny that guys like Roy Jones Jr, Muhammad Ali, actually done most things wrong in the ring, yet they could get away with it because of there amazing speed and ring smarts of course.

wasnt it the zab fight where about round 7-8 he had floyd on the ropes for a good minute, threw about 30-40 shots...and not one of them actually landed??

Remember thinking that night we truly were witnessing an all time great

sounds more like you're talking about the N'dou fight unless I'm mistaken

Yea i think he is that was the 5th round vs Phillip Ndou a truly great round one of the rounds of the year.

[HattonTheHammer]

Yes that does sound like the Ndou fight Zab was very inactive the second half of his bout with Mayweather. Great topic.

Winky Wright: Can get hit with straight punches, legs are a bit of a question these days and he isn't at his strongest late in fights.

Jeff Lacy: Bad defense, a bit slow and plodding and these days throws one shot at a time

Andre Ward: Reaches with punches a bit, tries to be cute a bit to much opening his opponent up with feints instead of just punching, chops a bit with his punches, gets cocky and goes into RJJ mode although I think that phase is behind him he hasn't done it in his last 6 or 7 fights

Joan Guzman - Loops his punches a bit to much. Frail hands and his weight is out of control, he's putting on 20 pounds the day after cutting weight and he's not even that big physically

Miguel Cotto: Can get hit with uppercuts, tries to fight his way out of being hurt, probably doesn't always fight as smart as he can, sometimes walks his opponent down a bit to much

I remember that right hand landed by Shavers. Holmes hit the floor like he was shot, but somehow got up. Amazing.
