    Molitor - Lacks power

    Winky - Getting old, losing his legs, it remains to be seen how going up in weight to fight B-Hop will affect him, reportedly often demands too much money and misses out on big fights (IE Taylor rematch)

    Kessler - Seems rattled by the loss to Calzaghe, potential injury issues

    Winky: Being so good that no one wants to fight him.

    That's your opinion Mr. TAE.

    If Pac's defense was that horrible, then he would've been KTFO or KDed by JMM.
    ... he has a good chin obviously... he was getting picked apart for a lot of rounds. I was jush surpised because Barrera fought MArquez pretty evenly, and in Pac-MAB 2 Barrera wasn't landing anything, and Pacquaio was completely dominating that fight though he never stepped on the gas.
    Marquez was getting picked apart by Pac too. Too bad it's JMM who always hits the canvas everytime these two fighters lock horns in the ring.

    Joel Casamayor- Risks point deductions with dirty style. Not the mover he once was. Tends to push his punches instead of sitting down on them.


    Rafael Marquez- Rather brawl than use great boxing skills. Chin a little weak.

    Solid Idea for topic,How objective are we really ??

    Evander Holyfield......His ego and stubborn ,almost selfish, pride blinds him to the fact that HE IS DONE.He is living on memories and risk's allowing himself to become a punchline.

    Bernard Hopkins.......Seemingly comfortable just staying content and not leaving it all in the ring at times.

    Kotya Tszyu.
    Took too long to get set and throw his shots against pressure fighters. Relied too much on his punching power and not his great boxing skills at times.

    LOL. Pac's weaknesses are girls, gambling, hard liquor and his political ambition.

    You have a valid point there PAcstraight. I really wonder why people are saying Pac's defense is not good. For a KO artist like our man, his combination of defense and offense is quite excellent.

    Was going to post something similar, his BIGGEST weaknesses at the moment are his distractions, and apparent loss of interest, from a boxing standpoint he's also easy to hit.

    Calzaghe- lost power, believes his own hype and IMO came ill prepared to fight Hopkins,
    not talking fitness but strategy or lack thereof.

    Danny Williams- the cookie monster.

    John Duddy: Where to begin.....non-exsitant defense, sometimes he thinks he is not able to get knocked out or something. Fights the other guys fight too much, doesn't use his speed and jab enough. Moves his head with hands low, he lacks pure one shot power....after all that you would wonder why I'm a fan.....he's fun to watch.

    Jhonny Gonzalez - Definately has pacing problems, suspect stamina, like to go too hard for the KO sometimes at the expense of good body placement.

    Glen Johnson - Judges . Sometimes he sacrifices his defense to land good offense and while he maybe in there landing harder shots he can tend to get outlanded.

    Emmanual Augustus - Dance dance revolution, spends waaaay too much time trying to look good, but not enough time boxing.

    James Toney - this one is obvious. seems to think he's above showing up to a fight in shape. terrible junkfood addiction.

    Wlad: He starts too slow, he holds back early in fights and seems to carry fighters sometimes, and he doesn't do well when he's pressured although he has gotten better.

    Cotto: He's easily drawn into a brawl, he wants to impress his Puerto Rican fans with KO's and presses too much and gets in trouble for it, he's an excellent boxer but rarely wants to use that to set up his punches....he too has done better in the last few fights

    Jermain Taylor: He has an offense that only works on the outside and a defense that he only wants to use on the inside, he tries too hard to land the homerun right cross, and he doesn't let his hands go enough.
