...no doubt is the one potential weakness that is apparent. But does he have enough to hurt Marquez who's coming up from 135?
Floyd doesn't "lack" power at all. When he sits on his punches(rarely at 147) he gets respect from his opponents. But he does have more than enough to hurt JMM
Now Paul has a serious problem with power among other facets in his game. Mayweather just lacks power, but not quite on the same level as Malignaggi...
Look, I'm trying to be as objective as possible. There are things that Mayweather does that makes it look plain obvious to me that he doesn't have a great deal of power. This is further backed up by it taking numerous flush power shots to put N'Dou away, and despite landing everything in the book against Gatti, never knocking him down.
He certainly isn't a power puncher. I'd say that he has just about decent power -- he had more at the lower weights. He knocked Hatton out due to a combination of speed, form and perfect timing, by catching him as he came in.
Ok, I'm not saying he has great power, im saying he doesnt "lack" as you stated. He has enough pop at 147 to get respect and he has more than enough pop to hurt JMM.
Mayweather's power is underrated, but a lot of it is his fault, he basically prolongs the fights much like Roy used to do back in the day. Do not let his KO percentage fool you, he does have the power to KO Marquez.
Well in a fight for the p4p #1 title on the line against Pacquiao, would this lack of power be more of a weakness? How about Pacquiao's speed against Mayweather?
As much as I'm rooting for the Dynamite to beat the sh!t out of Maycherry, he will still get knocked out in the late rounds. Please prove me wrong Manuel!
