This talent is ridiculous.
Watching him spank a very good Diego Corrales, which I consider his best performance ever, and I just dont see too many weaknesses. Ever so often, such as the first Castillo fight, PBF isnt as sharp. Could be the hand issues, maybe he just had an off night. But still, I just dont see too many weaknesses.
He moves fast
He punches fast
He throws every punch in the book well
He blocks well
He slips well
He has good power, although not great
He doesnt lose composure
He doesnt seem chinny
He has amazing footwork, never off balance
He throws punches picture perfect
He doesnt hotdog in there and lose focus
He comes in great shape every fight
He has cobra reflexes
He goes to the body
He's a terrific counter puncher
WTF! This isnt fair! Other guys like Roy Jones were tremendous fighters bt their technical shortcomings were never exposed because they were such superior athletes. Mayweather does everything right.
I guess the biggest risk he faces is simply a matter of size; bigger guys walking through him and hurting him. Hattons rough house stuff COULD break him down some, that type of mugging can hurt anyone. The problem is other people have already tried that with Floyd but he manages to wiggle free and restablish himself.
So, if youre a trainer for an opponent of Floyds, where do you begin? Whats the game plan if youre guiding Ricky Hatton, Zab Judah, Carlos Maussa or Miguel Cotto? What weakesses do you see in PBF? How do you get him off his game and fight in ways he doesnt want to?
Thoughts?
