    Floyd a natural 140lber IMO but he has the reach of a tall WW. At 140 he’s a pretty good puncher, ask Hatton.

    Josie Harris said Floyd had decent power, but nothing too crazy.

    that was a very rare KO, when you watched a Floyd fight you knew it was almost guaranteed to be 12 rounds and boring as ****.

    Floyd Should have fought Khan, Khans chin would have made him look like GGG:lol:

    The only one you consider Kosher wss Juuko huh ?? Well around that time Juuko came to Ft Worth Tx to fight in being Hailed as The Ugandan Warrior & was going to be the next big thing. Well a tough Mexican fighter was brought in supposedly to make Juuko look good. His record was something like 56-26 I'd seen him before fighting Genaro Hernandez & knew he was tough. I believe his name was Fransico Hernandez. He upset the apple cart took all Juuko's show boating attempts to embarrass him & was still there. He ended up TKO ing Juuko he literally kicked his ass.. So if Juuko is Floyds best KO I dont know how Feather Fisted Floyd did it

    Yh Floyd is the more intelligent boxer out of the two and could land heavy when he wasn't on the back foot so didn't use it often Had skills but so boring to watch. Hatton only had one forward gear but the heart of warrior technically not as good but never took a back step ducked anyone or moaned proper little tank. I'd watch a Hatton fight over Floyd anyday

    Do find it funny lots of people on here big up Mayweather but if anyone else fights that style they accuse them of running away from the fight double standard..

    Damn, and that's with his PEDs, TUEs, multiple failed A -sample tests, and those questionable hand injections.

    Floyd is the only ATG fighter that cannot KO a hall of famer with an exception of Hatton

    Well Floyd is a bit like Fury, he fights mostly off the back foot with the intention of scoring points rather than trying to hurt you. When he does plant his feet with his shots and digs in, you can see the impact, he does hit pretty decent. Those shots landing on Gatti or even that JMMkd for example looked a lot more solid than Makignaggi or Khans shots.

    So ye, ordinarily he hits light because that’s his style, there’s no benefit to him hitting harder since he’s only trying to win on points and he could potentially break his hands, but he is capable of hurting guys at 140 and below.

    Take away the "ATG" and your thread title is completely correct.

    Maxie Rosenbloom has 19 KOs in 300 fights... he's the winner.
