How much power does Floyd have?

Mr boat buyer has decent pop. He can hurt a lot of people, he should be able to hurt Marquez, don't know about stopping him though.

Floyd doesn't have that much power, not saying he's feather fisted, he's just not a KO artist. While he does have some power, his shots hurt by the way they're landed, he catches people off guard and gets solid, flush hits. Even a feather fist can hurt you if they catch you running in face first.

7 Compared to others in his weight division I persume, maybe an 8.

8 at SFW
7 at LW
6 at LWW
5 at WW

Then again I haven't been punched by him.

Fighting natural 140lbers like himself I would say he has good power like a 7 out of 10 but even if he didn't landing at the accurate rate he does is going to produce many stoppages due to accumulated punishment rather than him landing one big shot.

i gaVE HIM A 7 AND HE IS MY FAVORITE FIGHTER, HE IS FAR FROM FEATHER FISTED, BUT NO KNOCK OUT KING EITHER. HIS PUNCHES HURT AND STING BADLY. AND THEY ARE VERY SHARP AND CRISP AND VERY ACCURATE, WHICH HELP OUT ALOT

Was having this arguement with a friend he said Floyd was pretty much featherfisted and lacks power i disagree. I know he has had problems with his hands in the past but Floyd has knocked out/down some guys with decent chins and whilst going up in weight

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..

you would have to be insane to say he hurt DLH more than Pacquiao. Even DLH said Floyd doesn't hit very hard. Pacquiao was 30 seconds away from putting DLH away. Everytime he landed that left DLH's head went flying back.

At lower weights he had pretty damn good power, right now he's about a 6 or 7. I voted a 7.

Well Pac put more of a beating on him thats for sure, but i mean Floyds 1 shot power seemed to hurt/buckle him more. This was at 154 a better weight for Oscar too, i believe Oscar came in to the Pac fight at 147 fight night and probably came in at 160 (a guess?) fight night vs Floyd.

Not a Pac vs Floyd thing anyway, just wondering were Floyds power is at and as i said i think its very good below 147, at 147 im not sure till he faces some more guys there. So far he has faced Baldo, Judah and Oscar 2 much bigger guys and 1 who he was on the verge of KOing (imo) before the Low blow. I think he def has enough pop to KO Marquez however.

How much power does Floyd have?
