        He had to lose something like 40 lbs prior to the fight. If I remembe correctly he came 18 lbs over 168.

          Not really... he engaged the guys much more. He's just always been a conservative guy, now even moreso because of the weight disadvantage.

            This maybe true the problem is that he hides it so well that no one can hit it.
            Isn't that the point of boxing ?

              Floyd's still never been seriously hurt (he recoverd well in the Chop-chop fight) or dropped (flash kd in judah fight). I have a homeboy that boxes & he LOVES Floyd but thinks that he doesn't have a hell of chin either... I tend to look at how the fighter's responds after getting tagged with a big shot. I saw floyd get "****d" w/ big shots in the 1st castillo fight & never looked in jeapordy of quitting or even going down...i'd rate it a 8/10. I'm not sure if he can takes those bombs Cotto was throwing out but his "D" is so cold he won't have to!

                That's the point of this thread. He's hiding something. He never engages fully. Not even against Corrales.

                  He quite clearly took some big power shots in the final ropund against De La Hoya, who is still a very powerful puncher.

                  Floyds chin is very good IMO.

                  U cant say he has a glass chin with absolutly no evidence. Its like saying im the greatest fighter ever, eventhough ive never boxed. Stooooopid!

                    When did I ever mention he had a glass chin?

                    But there is a reason why Mayweather doesn't engage. And in the same token there is a reason why Hatton goes right at you from the 1st round.

                      LOL. Not even against Corrales? He was P4P one of the hardest punchers in history. The only people to fully engage him in were JLC & Joshua Clottey.
