    Mayweather doesn't punch hard on the bags because he can't. He'll risk injuring his hands. So, he focuses more on accuracy. I don't think people realize how brittle his hands are. He's had to go to he hospital afterwords due to his hand injuries in almost every one of his past 4 fights....

    He could drink more milk to increase his bone density but then he will lose speed due to calcium deposits on his joints it's a catch 22 situation

    I don't think milk will help enough. I think this is a long-term consequence of either using xylocaine or just genetics. I feel really bad. Imagine if his hands were strong. He would be so unstoppable.

    it's not that simple. He's seen specialist about this and has done rehab for them.

    You can see him visiting a hand therapist in the Hatton 24/7

    :patsch or it's a result of him hitting so many punching bags since he was a toddler

    Bone density is determined by genetics. I'm not sure I can agree with your unstoppable comment.

    You should.

    He would be like a version of SRL that is as untouchable as Whitaker if he had serious pop behind his punches.
    That Floyd IS unstoppable in today's WW to JrMW.

    Not to mention bodybuilding as in the case of Arnold does not directly translate to punching power.
    Overall strength maybe.
    If anything, too much unnecessary muscle mass makes one tire out easily on the ring.

    A toned down version of, and way slower, FMJ in Sr. was able to dance with SRL for 10 rounds.

    "Destroying" a version of Floyd with serious pop behind his punches would way more difficult for SRL.

    I'd put my money on SRL still though.:bbb

    Heredia worked for Marquez, although Marquez was on his way to getting knocked out until the lucky punch. Marquez will not fight Pac again because he knows the truth. Void has everything his way, the judges, referee, boxing commission and I doubt if he will have to take a roid test...................................

    Agreed. :good

    Sr had some moments in his fight against SRL though. Looks like he gassed out near the end.

    On a side note I think prime Hearns would knock floyd jr out though not sure about SRL it probably goes the same way as the dads fight they do seem to have sturdy chins the mayweather boys

    I've been saying that in these boards as well, that of the Fab 4, Hearns will be the most serious threat to FMJ.
    As usual these j0yboys only response is something along the lines of "FMJ is TBE. YDKSAB." :patsch:rofl:rofl

    Floyd when he was at 130 didn't have as many hand issues then except for the Carlos Hernandez fight of course
