what opponents do you think he could've also ko'd in their fight.... i say this cause he seems to have some underrated pop, and many fools think that pressure and non stop punching is the key to beating floyd....which is why many thought mosley was gonna rock his world and ko him....but, when floyd started opening up, the brave warrior in mosley decided to take it easy and try to just bomb floyd one punch at a time instead of working his way in etc etc...... if you notice, the only fighters to fight him like that have not only been naturally tougher and bigger, but also come forward fighters with either non stop pressure, or a come forward style....hatton comes to mind, along with others like gatti, chavez, bruseles, corrales, hernandez, manfreddy etc etc....... others that havn't been ko'd just happen to be elites, but elites that thought twice about coming in once they were tagged....oscar, mosley, judah, marquez etc etc.......... so i'm asking, if it were up to floyd and he decided to fight fire vs fire, what other opponents on his record would've also been ko'd or tko'd...... i hate to say it, but i think mosley is one of them.......
I agree with you about Mosley after watching the fight about 5 times he could have easily put a 3 or 4 punch combo together that would have finished Mosley. Also Marquez for sure.
If Mayweather brought his more offensive style at 130-135lbs up with him through the divisions...then yeah, I think he would have had more stoppage wins on his record.
did you notice in the fight when floyd hurt mosley, and mosley stumbled a bit....only to have bayless step in and keep floyd away :huh
He would have grinded him down to a stoppage. The same with Shane Mosley, a stoppage, and I'm a Shane Mosley fan.
yea i saw that i think it was the 8th round. Mosley had stumbled towards the ropes and Floyd was bout to go after him and Bayless ass step in then back out but Floyd had step backed by the time he got back out of the way.
I think alot of these people, if Mayweather would've pressed the action the fights would've been closer and he would've gotten tagged alot more. If Mayweather didn't press the action, its probably cause he knew he would get hit if he did. Look at PBF vs Gatti, in that fight he knew he could press the action without getting hit and he got the KO
He could have knocked out JMM pretty much whenever he wanted, if he wanted, and if he wanted to take more risk. He needed the work anyway, after the long layoff. He would not have really received any credit, only more of the "picking on the little guy" calls.
Mayweather wanted that knockout and was pressing for the knockout against Marquez but just couldn't get it. He would have received more credit for knocking Marquez out than failing to do so.
