    And I repeat, his brittle hands are the reason.

    I imagine, but dont have time to back up with numbers, that Mosley and Mayweather have very comparbale KO%'s above 135.

    Floyd has power...just not GREAT power. His KO's come from precision, accuracy and sharpness. He times great, counters effectively and where he places his punches are key. You'll never see a one punch KO from Floyd.

    I know. I watched.

    But being that Floyd is better defensively, better technically and has better footwork, I have to take from that that he would have had little trouble cruising to a UD.

    I agree whole heartedly. Floyd is definately not a big puncher. However, for the most part, he hasn't been a fighter that was content to just win a decision.

    i dont think mayweather has ever fought anyone whose style has clashed with his own or would be a real challenge 2 him, bar a couple, thats why he annoys me

    thats just guessing we dont know what wouldve happened. if boxing has proved one thing time after time is that everything can happen in the ring.

    what it will stand in boxing history is Mosley knocked out Margo and Floyd didnt fought him.

    He definately needs to fight one of these 'live' cats in order to see where he truly ranks. If he fights one of Mosley, Cotto, Williams or Margarito at least that would give us enough material to work with in order to conclude where PBF's legacy lies.

    Nah....Floyd wants to "SHINE"! And he'll go for a KO if he feels it won't be too much of a risk. And most oppoents aren't on his level! With DLH...Floyd faught Cautious! he was weary about Oscar's power and skill which made for a "Not so exciting fight" and closer than most expected. But with guys like Gatti or a young corales...the man was sharp shooting. not throwing haymakers...everything was calculated and on point.

    WTF???!!! One D? Are you kidding me. Look...Shane is anything but One demensional. He has many demensions to his boxing. But comparing him to Floyd there is a big disparity b/c Floyd is a very dynamic fighter...his diversity is what makes him great along with his natrual talent. But To say Shane is One Demensional is border line ******ed......no offense!

    mayweather would have beaten margo clearly so he wasnt really scared of him but it was a public deman for him to fight him. he just felt too god to even entertain the thought. if mayweather fights mosley, then there wont be no room for critizism
