Floyd has the better chin.

Everyone gets gets hurt when they get hit in the face man, it is how you react and continue that counts...Fact is when Floyd gets hit flush he gets hit hard right on the button and his face doesn't even change.

 

Good post.

 

Actually no. He goes into full defense mode. When he has been hit clean he has been hurt. While its rare I would say that the ratio of hurt/clean shots is very high for Floyd.

 

Watch rd 2 of the Mosley fight, after the 2nd clean shot, he holds, backs off gets his composure then wins the remainder of the round.. walking Mosley down. doesnt sound like a defensive shell to me. You should probably stop reading about boxing, and actually watch it. It's a pretty cool sport.

 

If by walking down you mean hiding behind your guard and not throwing.

I've watched the round plenty of times. And what everyone seems to forget is that the Mosley punch wasn't a great punch. He was over extended and Floyd saw it coming and was pulling away from it. And it still hurt him bad because it landed clean.

 

Watch it again. this time open your eyes, itll help you see it.
And it was a punch to the temple. Knocked Mayweather's equilibrium off. Mosley at one point in his career 35-0 w/ 32 ko's. so i would say he has some pop.

 

More the jaw than the temple. It depends on which angle you watch it from. From the left of Shane you get a better view of floyds head and it looks like the chin. From the right which I'm sure you are basing your claim it more obstructed and you cant really tell.

And yes Mosley has some pop but people act like this was some thunderous shot that Floyd took. It was not a great punch. Sure it landed clean but it was an over extended punch that landed well to long for maximum force and Floyd was already rolling with it. And it still hurt him ... bad.

 

Pacquiao swarmed and bullied Marquez, Morales and Barrera and he was never hurt. Yep he was dropped by Marquez, but that was years after Pacquiao's prime.

Morales in particular could freakin bang. But Pacquiao went straight at him.

 

Again my friend, you really need to maybe watch it again. Really watch it. It doesn't matter what angle, it wasnt really closer to the jaw. It was a temple shot. It was very clear. The first right was on the chin, but the punch that had him rubber legged was on the temple. Period end of story.

 

Because he is a defensive fighter...his first reaction is defense

 

The 2nd shot he hit him while Floyd was throwing..it was as clean as it gets

 

If that hook counter you are now changing the subject too hurt Floyd then he is in for a world of hurt.
