Growing up his mom & dad smoked so much crack and meth that just walking w/in 3 feet of the Mayweather house gave you a contact high.
He certainly had excellent recovery powers considering the number of times he was knocked down. Wasn’t Sonny Liston the only guy to put Floyd down for a full ten-count?
Maidana rocked him pretty hard in the 2nd fight but the bell rung. That was the closest he came to being out on his feet. He stumbled back and looked like he was on jelly legs. Im not sure about the Mosley right hand since he was aware enough to hold on for dear life and stall while looking around frantically. Definitely badly hurt, but out on your feet suggests you aren't fully conscious and you have compromised faculties.
Mosley rocked him bad but Floyd walked him down for the last 30 seconds of the round and was clearly recovered in amazing time. Maidana rematch, big punch as the bell rang to end round 3. Floyd did look hurt and wobbled. But that's it. Twice hurt his whole career. The Corley fight is very overstated for me, far from out on his feet visibly.
People assume that great fighters are like gods. I suspect that most of them are out on their feet sometimes, without anybody ever suspecting it!
