Paul easily went the distance because he was 40lbs bigger than Floyd.
Sorry manlets, size matters.
I don't know about this. Prime Tyson at 220 would definitely knockout if not outright kill Shaq at 320 pounds.
Prime Tommy Hearns at 160 walk around weight will kill some NFL dude at 230.
I was saying throughout the entire build up of the fight that Mayweather will struggle to hurt this guy, let alone KO him. But the elitist boxing fans were arguing how Floyd's skills will be too much for Paul. It was nothing lol, Paul pretty much just wrestled his way through 8 rounds like nothing. Floyd could not really do anything because he was too big. The hardest punch of the fight was landed by Paul actually.
That is why they made weight classes. Because some pro boxer who weighs 190lbs but sucks vs anyone his size, is absolutely still capable of decapitating some 154lb Jr middleweight. Logan doesn't have much skills, just skilled enough with his very little training.
This is also why journalists/boxing media unfairly leave Heavyweights out of the P4P list. Tyson Fury is stylistically one of the toughest boxers P4P. It is very difficult to look good vs Fury. But it's okay to have Usyk there at #4 P4P, because he came up from CW. But not Fury, who would probably clearly beat Usyk if they fight. Because he is stylistically better and more versatile.
But yeah, all that fight showed was why there's weight classes. Yes, there's "levels" to boxing. But size matters. And size can trump "skills" and "levels".

Floyd just had and always had glass hands
Yeah and Ali would KO any NFL player.
Not.
That's why an NFL player went the distance vs Ali, who is not even close to a weak puncher.
160lb Tommy Hearns would probably not have been able to KO a HW NFL player. This is just more exaggerating from boxing fans who think boxers are superhuman/super heroes with special powers and no regular athlete/civilian stands a chance against them. Regardless of weight.
Yeah 160lb Tommy Hearns can KO a 230lb NFL player. And would have had an iron chin vs the NFL player too. The only people who can KO Hearns were similarly super-powered superheroes. And only superheroes with superhuman chins were able to go the distance vs the 160lb Hearns.
