    His long arms perfectly suit his boxing ability, which is part of the reason he was great.

    But his admirers are just as irritating as his detractors, one side refuses to criticises the other refuses to give praise.

    Floyd has a frame that suits Junior Middleweights, he grew in to his ideal frame as he went up in weightclass, before that he was always way physically larger than his opponents. He has longer reach than all his opponents, all these things are more important than just weight.

    The guy on your DP is usually involved in the most fake fights, ironic.

    He grew in to his ideal weightclass, still doesnt change the fact that Floyd was from a physical perspective the man with the longer reach, bigger frame all the time, until he got to JUnior middleweight, where even then he still had longer reach than everyone else.

    Tenshin's reaction after getting hit by a right hook that Floyd manages to turn over is pretty instantaneous. Since it hits him on the temple, his balance goes and he can't control how he falls.

    The kid was nervous as hell, anyway, so the effect of any shot that connects is going to be magnified.

    Hooks that hit your temple don't cause your head to snap back like that. Never seen in that in my life. Sure you can FALL backward, but your head doesn't snap like that.

    Not true for example Lara had longer reach than PBF did. PBF was usually the smaller man at 147 as well. Lets take a look at his fights at 147.
    Mitchell was smaller than PBF
    Zab was smaller than PBF
    Baldo was bigger than PBF
    Hatton outweighed PBF on fight night but lets just say he was smaller than PBF
    JMM smaller than PBF
    Ortiz was bigger than PBF
    Mosley was bigger than PBF
    Guerrero was bigger than PBF
    Maidana was bigger than PBF
    Pac was smaller than PBF
    Berto was bigger than PBF

    As you can see he was usually the smaller man at 147 and we won't even bring up 154. Him being bigger than his opponents is a myth.

    Well he had longer reach than all of his opponents barring DelaHoya or Lara. Weight is irrelevant as reach is the most important factor.

    He was a full fledged welter at the end. Doesn't matter to me whether he was bigger or smaller than his opponents btw, reach is the only thing he really used as far as size, he wasn't reliant on weight. Just saying, I'm not sure all those guys you mentioned as bigger were really bigger. Doesn't diminish anything though.

    Ah yes they were bigger. Mosley is a bigger man than PBF so is Baldo so is Ortiz just like the rest I mentioned in my reply.

    In looking at it, it seems as though Tenshin's head snaps to the side and then he falls backward instantly after the impact. It's a little odd, but not completely unnatural, especially given that Tenshin probably isn't used to taking that kind of shot.

    Weight isn't irrelevant there's weightclasses for a reason they're not called reach classes, stop it and stop reaching pun intended! Easter jr has the reach of a CW but should he be fighting there?
