    People say he can't hit, but no one can walk through them. Not even granite jawed Canelo Alvarez.

    He was literally shivering in fear in the 8th round, he didn't know what was coming. He was covering up but was getting nailed with the hooks.

    Beautiful.

    Because Floyd doesn't stick around to get countered after he fires his shots!

    Floyd is accurate and strong enough to keep guys honest. He's also physically strong in the clinch - mosley couldn't muscle him and he was able to push margarito around a bit. I think floyds jab to the body is also his best weapon against pressure fighters.

    Mayweather does have underrated power.. the man beat up Miguel Cotton and almost knocked him out. And this was May at 154 pounds with clown gloves.

    Lots of men can and do walk through his powder puff punches. Perhaps that's why he beats women.

    Mayweather has power that makes opponents a little cautious while pressuring him, Kovalev has power that makes people too scared to even throw a punch.....and sometimes even forget that they're in a boxing match.:deal

    That Right hand is in No Joke, I first started understanding Mayweather power in the Chico fight, but I wasn't convinced till I saw Mosley hesitate to attack Mayweather after taking some rights hands...Lots of pure boxers get misunderstood as featherfisted which plays into their hands.

    Rigondeaux punches as Hard as Naseem Hamed, but most boxers keep talking about Rigo skills (overrated) & ignore his Attitude Altering punching power (underrated), so Rigo opponents focus on cutting the ring & forcing exchanges assuming they are the harder punchers, fight time comes...Rigo gives them a taste & they accept to play into Rigo narcissist game, of showing the world how he can outbox surrendered opponents for 12 rds

    Whose he fought that's known for walking through punches in order to get their own offense going? No doubt Williams, Margarito, Angulo and Kirkland would have.
