it was a knockdown if a fighters gloves touched the canvas it SHOULD be ruled a knockdown these are FACTS!
yet it wasn't. I wasn't arguing if it was or was not a KD, I was pointing out the vast difference between a complete balance KD and a clearly hurt fighter being planted on his **** after being cleanly knocked off his feet. your reading comprehension is NOT getting better for some reason, its regressing.
the coward got knocked down by Judah his glove touched the canvas FACT! flash knockdowns exist in boxing this is a FACT!
in your world, jmm wasn't even knocked down by Floyd never mind being hurt. he tripped over his own feet, from what we all remember. I think jmm was robbed in that fight too. the clean straight right jmm landed on Floyd 20/30 seconds prior to the non knock down should had put Floyd to sleep ala pac. So jmm really won that fight in 2009
A prime Floyd could hurt Manny, but not this one. I just don't think he can w/o the fear of breaking his hand in the fight. We've seen it happen everytime he really sets on his punches...Guerrero (hospital after, hand), Canelo (hospital after, hand), Maidana (hospital after, hand). His hand problems are a lot more serious than people think, and these are injuries when he still has the orthopadding in his gloves. I don't think he can withstand hitting hard on something for so long. Probably why he pitter patters on the heavy bag also, and never hits it full power...because he knows he can injure his hands.
Really?! Those bodyshots in 2nd fight, had Chino faking a low blow so he could get his wind back. He definitely hurt him, its just that he is a safety first fighter so he chooses not to go for finish unless he is absolutely certain he gets it.
What shocked me is... a body shot from Khan had Maidana drop to his knees, and 50 body shots from Mayweather, didn't drop him, but surely slowed him down. If a blow from Khan dropped Maidana and Pacquiao says Khan has little power... then perhaps Pacquiao's power resistance is a lot higher than we think. But, then again, it should be. He's taken chin blows from Marquez, Cotto, and Margarito.
Floyd power is underrated. I believe he gave Mosley a very solid beating for example. Cotto was ready to go in 12th round too. The thing is that he doesn't have to get the KO to be popular so why risk his brittle hands or getting countered while trying to get the stoppage?? I don't think he will go for the KO against Pac and Pac chin if it is at 80% before the Marquez fight is still rock solid. People start to massively underrate Pac just to irratate his die hard fans. His footwork is **** his chin is glass. Come on the dude is a bona-fide ATG. So Floyd might hurt Pac but he won't go for the kill IMAO.
Floyd never tried to push for a KO in that fight. He doesn't get caught up in the moment. He sticks to the script.
If this is true as you say Why is it Floyd couldn't knock out Victor Ortiz when he cowardly attacked him while he was totally open & unprepared. Floyd fired his hardest combination at him yet Ortiz still got back up Also why do they use the shot of Ortiz going down in Floyd's pro mo's & claiming it as a legit knockdown?? Answer is Floyd hasn't got a legit knockdown it was even Hatton's head hitting the corner padding that KO'd him. Floyd cant hurt Manny but Manny can sure hurt Floyd
From BoxRec: MGM Grand, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA L KO4 In boxing, if you don't get yourself together by the count of 10, you were knocked out. It is a recorded knock out. You can pout and cry like a child if you like, but you can't rewrite the rules of boxing. Sorry. And Ricky Hatton was finished. You can live in your Fantasy world but anybody with sense saw it.
