    He really does have good body punches. Loma I think sets up his body punches good. Spence hits so much harder though. Both good body punchers. Gassiev is a good body puncher as well, but I dont think as good as those. But p4p definitely the biggest and most destructive body puncher.

    If he had a shaky chin he would have been knocked out by Brook who is a good puncher. Brook imo was the best welterweight when Spence beat him just stylistically I think he would have beaten Thurman, Manny and Garcia.

    Your point about him being rocked means he might have a shaky chin? Floyd was hurt by Carlos Hernandez, what did that tell you about his? Nothing he was never dropped again. Ward was dropped against Darnell Boone And only a power puncher like Kovalev dropped him after 30 odd fights.

    He's no Golovkin or Matthysse, I agree.

    For obvious reasons. He also bashes fighters like Golovkin, Lomachenko. You can guess the reason why.

    I thought Floyd's critique of Loma was so hypicritical and weak. He said Loma doesnt dish out punishment like he did. LMAO...

    That's rich coming from Floyd. FMJ rarely dished out punishment either.

    Loma is a pure boxer just like FMJ was. I think even FMJ prefers aggressive fighters. Hes spoken very highly of Duran. And why wouldn't you prefer watching an aggressor? Floyd would rather watch a great fight just like everybody else. I'm pretty sure if Floyd had to watch himself fight he would want to sleep.

    Pedweather bashed Lomachenko after Loma won every second of the fight against Rigondeuax and made him quit. Yet he praises Spence who got outboxed by Brook before Brook's eye got injured by a brutal headbutt in round 8. The same Brook who came from a brutal beating and moved down 2 divisions after moving up 2.

    He had a point about Rigo. Too small and too old. Floyd never got credit for beating Marquez because JMM is way too small.

    But I laughed my ass off when FMJ said Loma doesnt punish people. Neither did Floyd.

    Mayweather had some harsh criticism for the consensus P4P king's recent win over Guillermo Rigondeaux. As he explained to Fight Hype, he didn't see much penchant for causing damage from either fighter.

    "It really was no damage done to neither side. It was a real just robotic, real stiff, robotic fight. Nobody really landed like no killer, solid shots, no real shots. You can look at me and Diego Corrales, or me and Arturo Gatti. I can't take that away from Lomachenko. He went out there and done what he had to do, but one thing he can’t do is knock (out) a guy.”
