    He has more speed than he does power... I'd say around 7.. But then again I've never been hit by Floyd Mayweather Jr... Just assuming here.

      Are you talking about the same DLH who HANDPICKED Floyd's gloves for the fight and gave him the softest no-name 10-ounce gloves he could find. If Floyd had had 8-ounce Reyes gloves like Pacquaio instead of the 10-ounce no name gloves that he had against DLH, I am sure DLH wouldn't have said that.

        Oscar is full of ****. He also said Floyd hits harder than you think and that Pacquiao doesn't hit hard.

            i voted 7 - as most - every floyd shot has good power.

            the guy can do most things perfect in there.

            hard to find a flaw in his fight game.

              fact is he has a lot more ability to ko people with the same power as him due to the timing, precision and speed! I say a 6

                He can punch when he needs to... and it really depends on what weight you are asking.

                  Such as Corrales, Hatton, Gatti etc, he also buckled Dela Hoya and hurt him more than Pacman imo. Admitedly his last 3 fights prior Hatton was all Sd or UD rather then KO but they were either vs full blown WW or higher.

                  So i was wondering on a scale of 1-10 what kind of rating would you give Floyd? myself would be an 7 or 8, i think he has a good chance to knock either Marquez/Pac out when he faces them. Lets be honest when you are not planting your feet and potshotting your not gonna KO guys like Oscar or Baldo. I just think Floyds power is really underated..
                  at 147 lbs, floyd has average power.

                  at 140 floyd has above average power.

                  at 135 and below floyd has very good power.
