    agreed. its stuff like this that pisses me off. i am huge Lomachenko fan and wont even pretend that im not biased at times, but are we supposed to pretend there is no difference between Linares and Mosley/Maidana hitting you?

    You need comprehension classes.

    Floyd is naturally much bigger than Linares.

    It was a huge shot that he laid on FM but one of two things have to be realized. Either he is not the huge puncher you say he is or Khans chin is better than what he has ever been given credit for.

    I mean, sure we can say that, but the hypothetical question is what if he was there. So if he's caught straight on by a decent puncher in a Linares (not a huge one mind you).

    I'm not sure he goes down personally. He wouldn't have been rocked or anything though, Floyd had an excellent chin.

    Mayweather wouldn't have found himself in that position - he's not a pressure mid-distance fighter like Lomachenko and not a southpaw. He's always careful too.

    If taken the same way, he’d go down the same way. That’s what happens when you get overconfident and step in to something that catches you off balance like a jackass.
    12 pro fights, he’s still learning and luckily has skills to overcompensate the mistakes.

    Absolutely no evidence to suggest Floyd would go down, he's been off balanced before and took far harder blows. Never gone down once in his professional career. He would not have gone down to any SHOT Linares threw (27/47).
