If Floyd didn't break his hands in almost all his fights, KO's would be common

    He has average power, his punches did nothing to maidana who's been down and hurt by a few other fighters. Even broner hurt him more. His accuracy, however, is amazing. And it pisses off opponents and makes them gun shy because who wants to keep getting hit cleanly. A hard puncher hurts guys even through a guard, Floyd doesn't do that. As much as I hate him, Adonis Stevenson bangs. Fonfara said he felt every punch. That's a hard puncher.

    It's the same old brittle hands argument like Calzaghe you know. They want to go for it and they eventually step in with the punch, problem is that the first 46-0 followed up with the inside of his gloves to increase speed in endless lookalike flurries like flapping of which the result was slapping and the second 46-0 hit and didn't follow up cause something in the back of his mind was holding up, single shot here, then combine with a Sharp cross there, then left hook and it's ur turn mfkr, let's go!!! Meanwhile, he's rollin and twisting himself along the ropes in ways that even snipers with precision rifles can't hit him clean.

    That's because of his style of fighting.

    You want proofs that he has power to KTFO guys at WW - Ortiz suckerpunched, Hatton after checkhooked and collided against the turnbuckle, went for the kill. The guy has no problems in his hands, he has in his mind or in his willy.

    He had pretty good pop, I do not see him as this big puncher, even then. He dropped or stunned guys with the speed and accuracy of his punches, but he was not close to a one-shot KO artist.

    Genaro Hernandez: Mayweather mixed it up between boxing and moving and fighting more aggressively. He never dropped or seriously hurt Hernandez, but Genaro's face was pretty busted up.

    Angel Manfredy: rocked Manfredy with that really fast right hand, and unloaded on Manfredy who didn't fire back, so the fight was stopped.

    Carlos Rios: Mayweather threw a lot of punches, landed some good ones, Rios was never hurt. Maybe he was and it was hard to tell since he's so awkward. Ugly fight, don't care to see it ever again.

    ****** Juuko: Mayweather sort of wore him down a bit, eventually stopped him with 3 consecutive right hands.

    Carlos Gerena: This was sort of like a Roy Jones performance in the sense that Gerena was dropped early, then gradually got used to the punches and was able to take them. Mayweather threw beautiful combos in this one, and sat down on a lot of them too.

    Goyo Vargas: Mayweather fought pretty defensive, did land a great body shot that dropped Vargas. The head shots didn't seem to bother Goyo.

    Diego Corrales: Again, I don't know why people use this as an argument as Mayweather fighting more aggressive at 130, he spent most of the fight on the backfoot and moving. He just landed perfect shots that dropped Chico, his performance was pretty much flawless, but he wasn't aggressive in the sense that he threw a lot of combos (Cotto, Augustus, Ndou), or came forward (Judah, Mosley).

    Carlos Hernandez: Mayweather fought offensive early on, El Famoso took the shots well, and then his head hurt Floyd's hand, so Floyd fought defensively.

    Jesus Chavez: Chavez ate approximately 13,234 right uppercuts and never went down.

    Mayweather had pretty good pop, but he was not a big puncher who could change the course of a fight with one shot.
