    Fighters whose one weakness cost them dearly.

    For example.
    Hearns' chin.
    I know herans had an "ok" chin but, if his chin was made of iron he would have won so much more fights that he lost by knockout and would be rated much higher.

    I think he should of improved his defense, to protect his chin
    My example:
    James Toney:
    He tended to "wait" for the oppourtunity to land the counter right, during that time his opponents were outworking him. Or once they had figured out his weakness you will notice that guys like McCallum II, Jones and Griffin. Mainly threw left hooks and left jabs, they rarely ever threw many right hands and they all ended up outworking him

      Chin seems to be a big one...

      Marquez: It cost him both Pacquiao fights
      Khan: Well duh...
      Hearns: Both Barkley fights and Leonard 1

      But also
      Cotto's inability to deal with the uppercut really ****ed him over against Margarito and Pacquiao. There's one sequence in the 9th or 10th round of the Margarito fight where Margo lands like four straight right uppercuts and Cotto just falls into him, ready to go and all I'm thinking is "BLOCK ONE!" He just has no idea how to stop an uppercut.

        Fraziers inability to adjust to a different fighting style cost him against Foreman. George was the one guy Joe couldn't impose his will on and who's stly played right into his opponents hands.

          Correction: Frazier's inability to take him punch cost him dearly against Foreman.

            I'd probably have to agree and say Hearns' chin.

            And maybe Benn's inability to cover up when he was hurt.
            As entertaining as it was to watch to watch him swinging for his life, he might have been better served to cover up once in awhile.
