    What if....:bart
    Then he wouldn't be the fighter he is, would he!
    He did pack a wallop at super feather though.

    Better

    Unmatched boxing skill with the possibility of a KO at any giving moment. What's not to like.

    Floyd has got the brain, that's more than KO punch. His punches aren't any weak altho. He had Hatton kiss the canvas using a check hook, go figure... Hatton ain't no peanut.

    I don't know - I would rather watch a 12 round master piece from Floyd than a one punch KO in the early rounds.

    He can actually punch but rarely sits down on shots fully. Some nice power punching against Mosley.

    I don't think that he would have learned his craft as great as he has if he did have one punch knockout power, so he becomes a completely different fighter. Even if he did finely tune his craft, I would guess that having the one punch knockout power would have led to Mayweather taking more risks than he does now in order to get those punches in and end the fight. Which would have created a much greater chance of him being caught and beaten when taking those chances.

    He probably wouldn't worry so much about blood tests and "cleaning up the sport".
