    I think he has power. His style is not all defense. If he didn't punch hard guys would take more chances and do better against him. He just does not commit much because more commitment means he opens up his defense or rather opening open up where guys can counter. Sit back and be defensive and make the other guy make mistakes, and he had the speed to utilize this. The fighter who would have beaten Floyd would need a jab and to sit back and win a decision. Once that fighter came I don't even think it would be a tough fight for the winner. Sit back jab and don't let Floyd counter. He handpicked at the right time and was good enough to do well.

    Your the loser that cannot accept the truth Floyd/Pac was a disgrace. We all know what happened with IV gate & the was the NSAC refused to investigate then issued Floyd a TUE THREE WEEKS LATER. Floyd Bob Bennett the NSAC & Vegas boxing officials concerned should all have been banned & the fight called a N/C. BUT Its the NSAC & Old Bob that rule the sport in Nevada / Vegas
    How do you spell CORRUPTION !!!!!!!

    Never seen any fighter walk through Mayweather's shots. He has respectable power and it was respected.

    Yes, he does. He knocked out some guys at 147. If he changed his style from defensive to offensive then he could KO more guys at 147 than he did.

    Pity Floyd never had the balls to fight Antonio Margarito thenj. You'd have seen him walk straight through Floyd's pitty pats & DESTROY the little dweeb

    Wait you mean Margo? The same slow footed, non moving plodding big guy you say he always cherry picks and beats. The only reason you even bring him up is because Floyd didn't fight him. If he did fight him, It would have been an obvious mis-match. After Floyd wins a WIDE UD you would make every excuse in the book as to why Margo lost and bring up some other boogeyman he didn't fight (see Paul Williams). You guys have been doing it for years its gotten old. Just about everyone on this board knows Margo would never have stood a chance against Floyd.

    Defo above average power, that was diminshed at the higher weights as he'd come up a lot. But as others have said if he had no pop at all the likes of canelo would have just walked through him
