    Not punching power or how hard he hits but physical strength. He's a small welter but always dominates bigger men in the clinches.

    These days, very strong. His legs aren't what they used to be so he's bulked up to the point where he won't be easily outmuscled. The Mosley fight showed what a brilliant athlete he is, Shane was flumoxed because he was fighting a guy who was stronger, faster, and better co-ordinated, and Shane had never been in that position before.

    Not quite as strong as The Terminator but much stronger than Richard Simmons.

    He's a bull. Supernatural balance helps.

    Strong enough to cry to the ref when being bullied around by Hatton.

    Strong enough to rely on pushing off illegally with elbows in a clinch.

    Seriously though, he's quite strong, but he hasn't faced a decent welterweight to really show it.

    I don't think he could stand up to the strongest welterweights but he wouldn't be simply overran by them either.

    I'd say he's pretty strong.

    i just think he is stronger then what he looks. you think he's weak and can run him into the ropes, but he has some power to hold is on. i just think with floyd because he so light that he's not that strong in the paint but he stronger then what he looks. not to strong though 1- 10 id give him bout 7.5
