I think he would have knocked him out, if he didnt injure his hand. He rocked Guerrero many times during the fight; which proves he does have knockout power. Plus, he didnt respect Guerrero's power, so he wouldnt have been scared to take the risk of going for the knockout. But, he will not knockout Canelo, not because he doesnt have enough power, but he knows Canelo has power and it would be to much of a risk to go for the knockout. I do think Floyd will beat Canelo by TKO from cuts.
Hmm, maybe he broke a nail? :dunno:
His hand probably got sore from hitting Guerrero square on the face...
It's true that Mayweather's power is a bit underrated, but nothing in the Guerrero fight suggested to me that if they fought again Floyd would be able to stop him. As it is Mayweather only has two stoppages in his last nine fights, one came against a 140 pounder moving up and the other came from a cheap shot... he's not a knockout puncher, but he has enough power to get his opponents respect; he also rarely looks for the knockout.
No I would say his hand was very badly damaged.
I've already said in this thread I doubt he'd have stopped him regardless of the hand injury.
Sorry, hurt it.
I don't know why I said break it. What I meant to say was hurt it.

When did he break his hand? I know he said he hurt it, but I'm pretty sure he didn't break it.

He didn't break his hand, that was just some BS excuse (for what I don't know)... he always complains about having some kind of nagging injury. I don't know why he does it because he doesn't need to... :pat:
Report: X-rays reveal Floyd Mayweather didn't break right hand vs. Robert Guerrero
http://www.mlive.com/mayweather/index.ssf/2013/05/report_x-rays_reveal_floyd_may.html
He probably wouldn't be fighting Canelo in Sept. if he'd actually broken his hand.
Maybe if he didn't break his hand but even then, he never looks for a KO.
Even when he stopped Hatton, he wasn't really looking for it. He waited for it to come to him.
The last time he really pushed for a KO was Judah maybe? He wasn't really pushing for it much then either.
Perhaps Ortiz if it had gone further he looked like he was going to get him out of there.

There was a point in the 9th or 10th, can't remember which, where Guerrero looked ready to go. Whether it was because of his hand or the inborn caution Mayweather has now, he didn't step on the gas.
If he would have thrown caution to the wind? Yes. But that's not how Floyd does things. Another minimal risk, wide decision win for Floyd. I expect the same type performance vs Canelo
