i wonder how would khan react to the uppercut from your gif.
btw i love the gloves they used in that fight, especially floyd. they were awesome
This is someone who absolutely adores Floyd and went through the Canelo fight and tried to find the sequences that showed Floyd in his best light possible, and nothing in that sequence is significant at all. Even that uppercut. Even though it was clean, it was soft. It didn't affect Canelo at all. The rest of the punches hit all gloves. That uppercut wouldn't knock out Khan. That wouldn't knock out my mama.
Of course what was left out of the sequence was the right hand that Canelo hit Floyd with, coming out of the corner. It was a better punch than any Floyd landed.
Only one real way to find out

the fact is 90.0% of fraud jr. opponents are unmarked... that will tell you that maliggnagi hits a lot harder than fraud.
unless of course if fraud jr sucker punches you. :bigeyes:
The myth the Floyd cant hit is baffling I question how many truly watch his fights.
He KO'd Hatton, KO'd Ortiz, Hurt Shane, Hurt Cotto, Hurt Guerrero
Hes no feather fist.

Maidana has more raw power plus the awkwardness comes into play. Floyd is sharper, more precise and has great timing. So I guess floyd has power in his own right.
At welter in terms of power (just my opinion):
1)Thurman
2)Maidana
3)Roidquez
4)Pacquiao
5)Mayweather (underrated)
6)Bradley
7)Malignaggi
I don't know where to place Khan, Collazo, Ortiz, JSK, Broner, Rios, Guerrero, Danny, although I'd place them all above Paulie
They are different, Maidana has more brute force but he is not exactly going to catch you with something tricky. Floyd has that sharpness that comes from speed and proper tight technique plus he is much more likely to walk you into something you have no clue about.
Some people can take one but not the other (brute force or sharpness) but both can be exponentially more effective if the guy does not think he is about to be hit (or knows he is about to be hit but can not do anything about it).
Exactly.
Khan only lasts 12 with Floyd if Floyd has hand troubles pop up in the fight. If not he doesnt see 12.
Floyd could stop Khan cold with one punch at ANY time in this fight.
Put it this way I would rather take a flush shot from Floyd than a flush shot from Maidana. Maidana hits harder no question about it. Floyd hits you flush more with his skills opening up more opportunites. A slick fighter or a fast one can avoid Maidana's much heavier artillery easier than Floyds though. Khan will only be a frontrunner much like Judah was until Floyd gets adjusted to his speed and picks him completely apart in the second half of the fight. He will hit Khan with much greater frequency than Maidana did. Even if he does get the stoppage it doesn't prove he is a harder puncher than Maidana. Khan is not the same fighter he was then when Ariza had his punch resistance up. I'd favor Maidana by KO in a Khan rematch today. With Floyd I can see him scoring a late round stoppage but I wouldn't feel confident enough about that to bet on it.
Agreed, Maidana puts today's Khan in a body bag. Or maybe in 5 sandbags to use in flood control.
