    Floyd is extremely self-aware. He knows he doesn't have the same punching power as he did at the lower weights. Just look at the Gatti fight. Floyd was pounding him to the head and body. He was trying get him out of there but Gatti wouldn't even take a knee to slow the onslaught. So I believe Floyd just goes for the KO when he knows the opportunity is assured. Like when Hatton was out on his feet. Nothing wrong with that. Floyd is aware of his strengths and weaknesses and has adjusted his style accordingly. I commend him for being smart enough to realize that as he got older. A lot of boxer could benefit from that knowledge.

    He just care about winning and not about the fans.

    Pac is trying to do this with Marquez. Guess what happened.

    he doesn't have the power that can be relied upon and maybe he doesn't trust so much his chin to walk down his opponents especially if they have power in their punch.

    Easy.

    Canelo- hurt is hand
    Guerrero- hurt his hand
    Maidana- hurt his hand


    Idk bout Marquez. He couldn't knock him out honestly. Floyd was content playing with him.
