    Thinking About Floyd's Fights he never searches for the knockout to make sure he never puts himself in too much dangerous but im sure if he wanted he could have went for ko's against

    baldomir-zab-oscar

    You're forgetting the hand trouble that has plagued him almost his entire career. He can't go looking for the knockout because he can't afford to **** his hands up.

    He does not knock Baldomir or De La Hoya out, period.

    He couldn't have KOed Baldo if he tried. Baldo has an iron jaw who took bombs from Forrest at 154 and kept coming.

    He couldn't have KOed Oscar who has a great chin as well. Although he stunned him a few times.

    He could have KOed Zab if not for the low blow. Zab knew he was about to go that's why he low blowed PBF.

    i agree with that.. he probaly coulda stopped zab, but the low-blow definately interupted the fight..

    Most definitely, when Floyd was about to put the pedal to the metal Zab pussied out and went low.
    And on top of that, Zab's fans claim Cotto won ONLY because he went low on Zab.. funny is it not? :smoke

    Possibly, but that would put him in a position to ko'd as well, as he would take more risk in going for the ko

    Floyd actually changed up his style and started focusing more on trying to stop his opponents at the tail end of his career at 135. From the N'Dou fight on, Baldo and Oscar are the only fighters he didn't aggresively try to stop. He could've stopped Baldo had he not hurt his hand in that fight.
