    I do. Floyd is featherfisted at WW, but so was former featherweight Guerrero, who dropped Berto hard early in the fight.

    And Floyd is much better boxer than Guerrero.

    Berto was also dropped in many more fights and KTFO'd by jorneyman.

    Floyd TKO 8-9

    Its not just that Floyd is featherfisted, he is also very unaggressive and just has no killer instinct. I agree Guererro is featherfisted, but he is aggressive. I expect Floyd to catch Berto at various points during the fight, and Berto to look momentarily hurt, but Floyd just doesn't follow up.

    But he isn't featherfisted... not being aggressive enough to really hurt guys don't = feather fists... he has bad hand problems which means he doesn't put everything into every shot for 12 rounds but he walked down Mosley, Cotto and Alvarez and made Pacquiao and Maidana gun shy so he clearly hits respectably enough. We need to define what feather fisted actually means, we know Malignaggi is for example.

    If Floyd lands a straight right on that HGH gut it might bounce off and he might KO himself.

    It's about as close to a toss-up to me as it gets in terms of stoppage or not, but I'm going to say no. I think Floyd will give it a "try" around the middle rounds but will still just be too cautious and put it on cruise control in the championship rounds, winning via near shutout UD in a boring fight.

    Maybe with a check jab! If Floyd can master it that is.

    Floyd gets KTFO by a flaming straight right of righteousness sent down from god himself straight into Berto's fist. Berto becomes P4P #1, moves up to fight GGG and annihilates him in a humiliating fashion. Thenceforth, Berto is known as St.Berto.

    There was a rumour about PBF that he did some serious sparring with Dustin Nichols ( behind closed doors )

    It's reported Nichols taught him some great fundamentals of the "check jab" the likes of which floored such ATG as Wilder, the report also mentions Floyd kicked Nichols out if his camp and sent him back to Alabama after Dustin ate his McDonald's

    This is true. He's never had a heavyweight champ going life and death on the canvas before
