    He was bouncing granite-chinned Tenshin Nasukawa off the canvas like a basketball.

    This. 100% agree.
    Oh my days. Imagine how brutal a flush sucker right hook and straight left would be from a Prime Pac. Or even just a left hook from Danny

    Mayweather power is on par with malanaggi I would say.

    Anyone can KO with two sucker punches. Hell I can smash Tyson if I hit in the back of the head with a chair leg whilst he's asleep.

    Probably not KO power especially at WW but people underestimate his punching power.
    He kept the likes of Canelo honest. Pacquiao over thinking every move. KO'd Hatton brilliantly. Stopped Mosley dead in his tracks to go for the KO after multiple body shots thrown by Mayweather.

    It's about technique. Floyd sacrifices power for speed.
    First, Floyd more often than not, punches with the open palm. This is due to his hand problems. Floyd doesn't turn his knuckles into his punches. And Floyd loves the check hook, which he doesn't use as a power punch.

    Secondly, Floyd rarely put his bodyweight into the right hand. You can often see Floyd on the toes of his right hand, and his hips already turned before he lets loose the right hand. This eliminates the telegraphy of the punch, but sacrifices power.

    If Floyd was such a feather-fist like some like to claim, then how come no one walked through his punches?

    :lol: *****, please!

    A slapping left hook followed by a right hand, to which Floyd barely put his hips into.
    Good luck trying to knock anyone out with the open palm(unless the opponent is Ricky Hatton who runs himself into it).

    All his might. :lol::lol::lol: Do you know anything about technique at all?

    At 130 he had very decent power and combined with his accuracy, he could stop most opponents.

    At 147, a lot less so.

    Tyson could hit like a truck with his back broken. I bet he could not do it with his hands broken.

    The same for floyd. Btw, a feather fisted figther does not get more than 90% kos with hands healthy.

    Nevertheless, you all know here that floyd has big problems with his hands, but you all decide to ignore it for the sake of hating a little bit more on him. Basically we could throw this thread to the trash and nothing would happen.

    Ask One Trick Pony Manny Pac if Mayweather is featherfisted.......because after he tasted a couple of right hands in the first couple of rounds he sure got gun shy and settled for 118-110 and created the BS shoulder sea salt excuse....

    Also if FMJ hits like a pillow how come nobody just walked him down while walking thru his "featherfists" ?

    If Mayweather would sit down on his punches and fully commit he hits easily as hard as Pac/delahoya or Mosley. fact........but he chooses to sharp shoot, counterpunch and uses his superior speed and timing to put his opponents in a shell without the risk of being countered........50 and 0 is all you need to know about.........and speed kills.
