    Floyd couldn't hurt Castillo, Chavez, Baldomir, DLH, Augustus...

    ...but he didn't need power to beat them.

    Why is power always everyone's rationale when determining whether a fighter will win?

    If Mayweather's punches feel like feathers, then those good and great fighters should have had no problem walking through them and never taking a step back.

    It is not about "hurting" your opponent, but getting their attention and then utilizing your other tools.

    Mayweather doesn't need to hurt you to beat you.

    good post. most of the haters think floyd is gonna lose to hatton jus because hatton MAY hit harder than him. good rationale, right?

            Oscar after the fight was still fresh.. No one hurt in that fight because Mayweather is doing marathon in the ring... Only fatigue hurt them..

            Man put some water in your head! You have no brain at all

              If I'm not mistaken, Floyd broke Augustus' nose, and beat him up pretty bad, until the ringside doctor had to stop the fight. And Chavez, Floyd used his head as uppercut practice until Chavez's corner stopped the fight.

                He stopped two of the fighters u listed. And he did stun Oscar once in the fight when he was on the ropes and countered.

                  I didn't see any of those fighters hurt to be honest. Augustus only got stopped because he was getting swamped on points.

                  He is one of the toughest fighters I have ever seen.

                  I didn't see either Castillo or Oscar hurt... like they were momentarily stunned (as in, they took one step back), but they immediately went back to work, no noticably change in the fight after any punch.

                  Let's not go overboard here.
