    What else explains why boxers get gun shy once they get in the ring with him? I expected Guerrero to do more considering how easy he manhandled Berto.

    Nope. Always thought Floyd had average power. He got shy because he didn`t want to get hit with that right hand. Too fast for him.:yep

    I actually expected a competitive match-up. Guerrero made Cotto look like Castillo with how **** he looked.

    Sharp punching = power and is a great deterrent for reckless offense.

    He always had good power. When he sits down on his shots he can crack

    Floyd can crack. He has power that makes his opponents respect him.

    You could tell he wanted to get his first legit stoppage in a long time, but he simply doesn't have the tools. It's not who he is. At least he was trying though, for a little bit anyways.

    Average Welterweight power but consistent from RD 1 to RD 12.
    Mayweather will carry the same potency for the entire fight.

    It's the accuracy of the punches that is the best thing about them rather than the power.

    Floyd don't hit hard . He's just not a puncher ,but then again he's not featherfisted either ,he's pretty much average .

    A 3 year old can hurt u with a well placed punch... Now imagine that this 3 year old is hitting u at will, and u can't avoid, nor return any of the punishment... Things will start slowing down from u, doesn't matter who u are

    And obviously, Floyd hits harder than a 3 year old
