Floyd is fast and accurate.. he is a lot of things.. But power puncher is not and has never been one of them.

I wouldn't call him a power puncher, but he's got underrated power. If he stepped on the gas more, he'd have more KO's on his record (I think he could've had Guerrero out of there by the 10th, JMM in that 2nd round, and Cotto in the 12th to name a few) but he doesn't like to take chances and leave an opening in his defense.

He was no power puncher as a 1 punch KO kinda fighter, but he had blazing fast clean shots or combos that would put a fighter down. Plus he didn't really have hand problems, Floyd wore them Reyes gloves back then.

He was a hard puncher at 130 obviously, 27-0 with 21 KOs is a punchers ratio. But from 135+ where he started facing guys who were 145-148 on fight night, while he weighed 135-137 that's when he could not get the KO anymore. Do the math he got 21KO's at 130 and look how many more he has now than what he had at 130, only like 5 more.

The guy who started this thread may come off as a fan boy but he is right about "some" of the things he wrote.
