Mayweathers power

His TKO ratio is good, he wont knock any elites out.

 

hmmmmm...thats a good assessment....good post.

 

To put things in perspective, think of it this way.

Have you ever seen Alfonso Gomez fight? If not, believe me, he has very little power. He put Gatti on ***** street, beat him up bad and hurt him real bad. Gatti at WW, just can't really take the shots. Mayweather hit Gatti with almost every power shot he threw....and never really stunned him. McGirt stopped the fight because of the unneccessary accumulation, but Floyd couldn't finish it :deal He has little, to no power at WW. :good

 

He had a decent power on the lower divisions 130 -140, however, in 147 and up its has diminished a lot.

 

going up in weight diminished his power just like it would to any other fighter moving up....he has very little power at ww

 

He did brutalize Gatti though. I remember watching that fight and Gatti looked in a world of pain to me.

He also landed some good shots on DeLa Hoya late on. To say ODLH was wobbled is exagerating somewhat but he certainly reacted to them, that being at Light Middle.

It is his speed and accuracy that give his punches sufficient pop.

 

No I agree with all of that. He beat the **** out of Gatti. He also caught Delahoya, but like you said that was speed and accuracy, also he caught Hoya coming in. I think he might stop Hatton late, but it won't be a "1 punch" KO :good

 

In Mayweathers case, his power at Welter is based on speed, timing, and accuracy.True Gomez seemingly did more damage to Gatti than did Floyd, but the Arturo that Alfonso fought was diminished compared to the version that fought Mayweather.Floyd probably does back off due to hand pain, but Hatton better not figure that Floyd can't punch.Don't forget Collazo had Rick on ***** street, so the faster Floyd could certainly do damage with one of those whistling shots that Hatton won't see coming.

 

Was a beast at 130. "Power" had diminished, but as Corley said after their fight, his hands are so fast he puts you down with punches you never saw coming. When he has you hurt he's got the accuracy to force a stoppage or pickup a knockdown.

 

He would have put Zab down with a body shot if not for the low blows Zab threw. He doesnt pack crushing power but cant be under estimated ie Kessler did Calzaghe.

 

Corrales. Hernandez.

 

If Floyd has no power then why didn't ODH just walk through his punches? These guys say Gatti was never stunned...hell he didn't even realize where he was after 6 short rounds...

 

Gatti was reeling all over the ring. He was not only stunned he was about to be a ****ing tragedy.

 

He hits about as hard as my 80 year old gran
