    Mayweather composed himself well but he was hurt to me.

    ....On the ropes getting flurried on and all that.

      Corely hurt Mayweather, Chavez hurt Mayweather, Judah did not.

      That was more being off-balance than actually being hurt.
      I'm not talking about the KD. I'm talking about the shot that rocked him and drove him to the ropes where Judah wailed on him for a short while..

        lol. No, Floyd got hit with a left, Judah pressured, Mayweather backed off, and let Judah punch himself out by blocking everything he threw.

        When I think hurt, I think legs are gone, and dazed.

        Floyd still had his legs, and certainly wasn't dazed with the way he handled the next 15 seconds.

        Sometimes in boxing you get hit with a good punch, it doesn't mean you're "hurt"

          You may be right, I need to go back to the tapes before further comment.

            I think a better question would be Does Floyd have the durability to take Hatton's body punches? I think Floyd has a good chin, but if Hatton catches him with that hard left hook on the chin than Floyd could get hurt. I don't think Floyd has the body durability to take Hatton's best body punches though.

              That's certainly the better question, but I think it's been discussed enough. Hatton has some powerful hooks upstairs as well that he doesn't get any credit for IMO.

                Hatton loads up on head shots, unafraid to completely miss and look foolish. These are not landing on Floyd

                  1:42 or 3:24 on the youtube clock. 2:31 of round 4.



                  Unless commentators completely abuse the term "hurt" as you're trying to embellish it here, ALOT less happens in fights and they say the guy was hurt. I've heard George Foreman and Roy Jones Jr. (fighters) say that someone was hurt and I don't even see it. Barely ANY reaction.

                  Floyd was REELED. ROCKED. KABLOW.

                    Yes! If you'd look closely, you'd see that his chin has been tested, even after Corley. He gets rocked one good time in every fight. He did by Sharmba Mitchell at the end of I believe the 3rd or 4th; one of those early rounds. He got stunned by Judah early and rocked by De la Hoya late, while he was backing up against the ropes. Corley is the worst he's even been hurt and he still won that round and punished Corley.. Imo, Mayweather has an above average chin..
