Obviously, Mayweather.

Floyd Mayweather Jr hands down.

if the KO comparison doesnt impress you mayweather (25 KO's) and Forbes (9 KO's) then take a look at this:

mayweather's notable knockouts:

Hatton
Gatti
Corrales (RIP)

While corrales never had a tough chin his has AMAZING (its almost an understatement) heart...

Gatti was a tough customer...as is ricky hatton.

Forbes notable knockouts:

none that i can think of.

Since moving to 147 i've always made fun of mayweather's power but to be honest compared to forbes he has a lot more power.

****** question, just go on boxrec to find out.

Forbes would kill for Mayweathesr power.

I know Forbes messed up Oscar's face more than Mayweather, but Money has more power.

Oscar decided to sort of run through Forbes' punches, I knew he could take them but **** move your head.

yeah, this is asinine. forbes has no power, sadly, he's a fighter that has good footwork and is always shifting his weight from side to side to create angles, he just doesn't possess natural power, but what he does do, now in this part of his career, is he is sitting down on his punches and placing them really well, just lacks that natural pop. i'm not saying that he doesn't hit hard, but for the weight divisions he's been fighting in it's not as effective as i'm sure he'd like it to be. which really says something about forbes as a boxer, without real natural power, he has had to hone his skills and be on top of his game and be very well rounded in order to be at the level his is at, he has serious talent. he kind of reminds me of a smaller version of james toney, minus the big punch, and the fried everything diet, but forbes is very slick, quick hands, stands in the pocket and fights slipping punches, has a great chin, and even more impressive than toney's chin is the fact that forbes has never touched the canvas from a punch!

but the fact of the matter of him having comparable power to mayweather, good god man, read a little and watch some more frigging fights, will you!?!? respectfully, peace.
