Cheap commercial lol

I honestly do think that is a testament to Floyd not having really strong KO power above 130.

He has good respect power, and decent accumulation power, but really, he isn't a super powerful dude anymore.

Ricky Hatton had to jump headfirst into a punch to get KO'd.

It was Gatti, who took BEATINGS and never quitting. Floyd didn't have KO power at 130 anyways, he was always a pretty good puncher, just not exceptional.

I agree with you... every time I watch a Mayweather 130 fight (well, after Genaro Hernandez, when he really stepped up in competition), they always called him a boxer-puncher, and I never really understood it. He never really knocked someone spark out. He accumulated damage until they couldn't take it anymore, but I can't really remember any of his opponents taking a full 10 count.

By the way, was that post about your e-friend gone awry about me? I have a hunch it is, but I just wanted to be sure.

He's the only one with this style really!

James Toney. James Toney. James Toney.

James Toney. James Toney. James Toney.

Mayweather Sr. as well.

James Toney didn't use nearly as much movement as Mayweather did I don't think.

Floyd Mayweather Jr seems better at it, hmm

Have you seen Toney vs Jirov? Toney did Mayweather's shoulder roll against the ropes better then Mayweather did against Ndou.

Mayweather might have better movement, but Toney can be just as slick with rolling off punches as him.

Yes i have and he did a good job specially in the 12th round :P
I just find Floyd more confertable with this style, but Toney was very close to being as good as Floyd with it
