Had Floyd not had those reoccurring hand injuries, his ko% would be in the 80-90's.

Same as Joe Calzaghe.

 

That was just his excuse for putting on bore fests. Had no killer instinct for the latter part of his career.

 

He certainly went after Hatton. I think Mayweather still had his killer instinct but he suppressed it unless he felt his opponent was clearly in trouble.

 

Lol I was rewatching Mayweather Gatti and it made me laugh when Jim threw that jab at mayweather and said he has pillows in his hand while Gatti has regular gloves and breaks his hand every fight.

What an ass beating though. Love me some young PBF

 

hand problems or not, he probably wouldn't have been a big bomber at WW, too far beyond his natural weight. But even with the problems, no opponent of Floyd (except Maidana) has ever said he couldn't punch.

 

I think this coupled with his style really led to his lack of KO's

Also factor in the 147 lb reign was in his mid to late 30's as well

I actually thought he was capable of stopping Guerrero as he kept finding a home for the looping right but I think he injured it. In like round 7 he kept hitting Guerrero and I was thinking if this keeps up we may see a TKO

He also shook Cotto a little in round 12 but it was tough to gauge how hurt he was as Floyd didnt really try to follow up

 

^This. Safety first!

 

Rjj said he believed pbf could have got cotto out of there if he wanted, hmm:think
i thought that he could have kO'ed guerrero, pacquiao(just being real here) berto, marquez, he might have tko judah had it not been for tht low blow maybe a few others out that the weights as well

 

Juan is a tough fighter so stopping him would have been very tough, though he did prove how easily he could land on him

He hit Judah with a lot of leather in one of his more exciting and aggressive performances. Judah did tire and was taking a beating but I feel he would have made it

there were times vs mosley he would knock his head back but he would never follow up

I think he was going to stop Ortiz

 

i was gonna include mosley but i think he would have ran like in pacquiao lol, he would have survived
he might not have stopped marquez completely but if he wanted to he could have started pounding a savage beating on him forcing the ref to call tko like in gatti or augustus


imagine the pac fans reaction if he tko a opponent pacman couldnt

 

80's-90's, ha.

Might've been higher than it was though.

 

Had your mother aborted you, things would've been a lot better on this board.

 

Not to forget Sven Ottke, too!
