Who has more power at 147 - Mayweather or Mosley?

[Addison]

I think Mosley was the bigger puncher.

Now, nope. Floyd has grown into his frame and can still propel his punches at blinding speed. He's the harder puncher. There's no caveat.

The source of Shane's power was similiar to Floyd's. Speed and accuracy. That's the foundation.

And it ain't there the way it used to be.

I think Floyd was a pretty big puncher at 130, but since then I don't think his power has carried up in weight. Yes his power is underrated (less so maybe after the Hatton fight) but his 5 stoppages in his 12 fights at 135 and above back me up. Yes he is a very accurate puncher, but I don't believe Hatton would have stood up to that many clean lead rights from Mosley (even the 36 year old version.)

Mosley was the harder puncher a few years back. A few years back Mosley would have KO'd Estrada, Cruz and Collazo but he couldn't do it at this time.

I can understand your feeling, but when was the last time we saw Floyd sit down on his punches and actually try to knock someone out? Not too often. And when he does try to generate power, or has to, he's quite effective at landing destructive, hurting punches.

Also, Mosley didn't exactly land any shots on the button against Cotto. We would have all known without any doubt if he had. Hatton got knocked out with a BUTTON shot.

I think Floyd could have stopped Judah if he didn't lowblow and hit at the back of the head. Floyd was basicly in his zone at that time and was dominating Judah until Judah tried the dirty way out to save himself and get some time

Well I have no doubt that Floyd has a huge reflex, timing and accuracy advantages over Mosley at this stage. But the thread asks "who has more power?" which I believe is the last thing to leave a fighter. Shane now lacks the tools to use that power to its full potential, but I believe the power is still there.

Mosley is the more powerful puncher. PBF is a very good puncher but he hasn't carried his power up particularly well. PBF has great accuracy and lands super clean punches which at times allows him to stun his opponents but he is not a powerful puncher at 147lbs.

Just look at his fight at 140lbs where he would've carried more of his natural power and you'll see that Gatti wasn't put on the canvas and PBF landed about as many clean punches as a person can land.

On the otherhand... Judah has shown a tendency to get Ko'd.. so he is not a great example..

Hatton is a good example.. A few of those shots that rocked the iron chin of DLH... The way he pulverised Gatti.. he was really letting loose in that one.. and I think he ruined Gatti.. who otherwise might still be around today..

What you are trying to say is that the formula for "power" that many people believe; (speed + timing + accuracy = power) is bogus, right?

Each time I see the Gatti fight I nearly cry, I'm not having a laugh here.

the DLH fight was at 154 lbs though...
