    Some might say fragile... like a poppadom

    In the Ariza Shakes era he wasn't that bad. He was fully dedicated at that point.

    It was poor for a world class fighter.
    He was always vulnerable but somehow stood up to Maindana hitting him with power shots (and none of this Maidana was green nonsese please he'd had 30+ fights)
    He was decked by the likes of Limond who is a non puncher and the likes of Gomez had him hurt.

    Good fighter, terrific speed and offesive output but always vulnerable and pone to major mistakes. Like staying in the pocket too long V Garcia.

    He was rocked of a jab in fairness and Brook himself was shot to bits but i know what your saying. I thought he might get legit KO'd as the fight went on.

    On the flip side he was poleaxed by Willie Limond, a guy who couldn't knock the skin off a rice pudding. If not for a long count Limond would've got the KO.

    Catching someone with a hook they don't see coming in is fatal even with light hitters like Floyd

    Actually the worst post I've ever seen on here...... saying Khan had no heart, he went up 2 divisions to fight Canelo and was arguably winning until getting hit with a shot that ko's 90% of 160lbers. He showed plenty heart and chin against Maidana. No wonder you have a 5% like average.... awful poster.

    He'd stay on the inside for too long letting his shots go and then leave himself exposed to get caught

    What is that based on??? Did Maidana change up his style for Floyd??

    Limond was not a light hitter like Floyd, he was a light hitter like Paulie Malignaggi.
