    how did a thread like this reach 4 pages?

    The answer is simple. He's been knocked down once vs Judah which was called a slip when he came forward throwing a right hand to the body and got countered with a right hook. The shot didn't hurt him, but it did make his glove touch down.

    He's taken one 8 count though when he landed a left hook on the top of the head of Carlos Hernandez and hurt his hand and then dropped down from pain which made the ref start the count despite him not being hit (or even punched at)

    Don't let Corley's lack on ko's fool you.

    TKO'd McClosky, who'd never been stopped before.
    Dropped undefeated Bracero 3 times
    Hurt Mayweather, who has a damn good chin, and you know he does.
    Drops a hell of a lot of fighters, even if he doesn't win the fight.
    Made Cotto do a chicken dance

    He has solid power imo.

    If anything the Mosley fight showed he doesn't have a glass chin.. But Iron? When he took a flush punch from a solid puncher @ 147 (Shane Mosley) he did get noodle legs.. :yep So Floyd has superb defense with a slightly above average chin.. Is that fair?

    Not really.....Zab was the closest person who came close to knocking Floyd down....glove touched the canvas but wasn't really hurt. Shane hurt Floyd but held on and came back the same round.

    Mayweather was off balance, the right hand didn't even land cleanly. Watch just both fighters feet on this clip, and u will see Mayweather left foot trip over Hatton's right foot!

    Officially: Once (vs Hernandez, when he took a knee after hurting his hand. Famaso did throw a hook as FMJ was turning, but didn't connect. As an aside, the only reason why the count could be given is if the official was wondering whether Mayweather was so badly hurt by the hand injury that he might not be able to continue.)

    Unofficially: Once (glove touched down when caught with a sweet counter hook by Judah)

    Like someone else said, FMJ has a good chin, and great recovery when tagged.
