    I don't think he has punching power or focuses on bench pressing but when you look at his fights against mosley and ortiz both much bigger neither were able to bully him so he should be very strong

    Like others have said Floyd's skill is what seperates him from the rest, but his strength is far greater then a normal man also. When a very strong man fights the way Floyd does he is a very hard man to beat. Floyd literally does not have a weakness even his punching power is likely in the top 1% of boxers in and around his weight.

    He looks like one of the best conditioned physiques in the division other than Bradley.
    So he must be pretty strong.
    Besides he's got ****ing middleweight power when he wants to use it

    Pacquiao is probably stronger as a man-Pacquiao can probably bench press more too.

    hes a strong kid alright. i think he may be roiding. hes actually stronger now than when he retired. hes seems a lot thicker and muscular too

    haha and thats why he is accusing the Pacman of roiding-because he is really on it-look at the changes in him-

    If anything Mayweather is on roids-Blood tests don't work-thats all just speculation.

    He is stronger than people used to give him credit for but a lot of people have caught on by now. Hatton thought he would just outmuscle him which was ******ed because mayweather just fought dlh at 154 and didnt have problems with strength there.

    His stamina is more impressive though. He fights more flatfooted now to save energy, thankfully he increased his punch output rather than dropped it but he doesnt run as much as he used to in order to save energy since hes in his mid 30s now. Hopkins adjusted his style in his late 30s for the same reasons. Mayweathers never going to be in the position where he is more tired than his opponents.

    He didn't use his strength with JMM, he simply out boxed/classed him ... Ask Mosley and Ortiz about his strength
