Rate Floyd Mayweather's Power

[Welter_Skelter]

He was so fast asleep that he got up and managed to extend the bout an extra 30 seconds?

A lot of people seem to forget that..

If he was "asleep when he hit the post," they would have had to carry him out in a stretcher.

Anyway, don't act like Collazo was a heavy hitter, and his punches seemed to be doing more damage to Ricky than Floyd's.

[Parody]

I expected that response from Parody - he's a Floyd nuthugger.

Says the guy who thought Calzaghe would knockout a Prime Jones and also could win a HW Title

[QUISQUEYA]

Collazo landed about 250 punches on hatton. Floyd landed about 120.

Floyd is a far better puncher at 140/147 than guys like Malignaggi, Collazo, Quintana. But not on par with Judah, Cotto or Mosley. He is a sharp puncher, but not a concussive puncher.

Guys always say that they will walk through him, but then they never do. That makes me think that he is a better puncher than it appears.

I Gave Him A 6... With Out His Speed I'd Think He Was A 4.


The Speed Probably Knocked Him Up To The 6-7 Range..

So He Got A 6 From Me.

At welter weight I give him a six, but that is also becuase I gave Oscar a 8 I beleive, there is no way Floyd has more power than De La Hoya thats for sure.

Floyd hits a hell of a lot harder with his right than Oscar does with his right. Not even close.

[Scott9945]

The people who gave Mayweather either a "1" or a "10" have lost all credibility with me.

[Easy-E]

Hatton was out on his feet, and the fight was extended about 10 actual seconds.

Floyd's damage potential is less about sheer punching power and more about catching you with fast, accurate, unanticipated shots (as have many of the greats, like SRR). The punch you don't see hurts the most.
