    Floyd has lw power at ww FACT

    Look at his resume and you'll see that as Floyd started moving up the divisions most of his best work have come against small jww or former lws. At ww Floyd has never KO'd anyone that could be considered close to even the Ring magazines top 10. The man hasn't carried his power which is why Mosley and Cotto both true ww would have massive advantages if Floyd backed up his mouth and fought either or both.

      Which might explain why he's so far chosen to go after the smaller guys rather than the elite wws who have the power to hurt him, right?

        Mr boat buyer don't need KO power to win his fights. I don't give a **** how he goes about it, just fight the SSM and the Pac-Cotto winner dammit.

          Facts are not welcome here

          I agree with you though about Floyds power.

            You're right mang he wins by using his defense and speed. But not having anything close to ww power must be the reason he decided to go after the smaller Hatton and JMM and now he's calling out Manny the smallest of the 3. If the fear he doesn't have the power to hurt natural wws isn't the reason then why is he avoiding Shane and Cotto? It can't be because he's a coward can it?

              Floyd is a blown-up lightweight. He should have stayed down there. But the huge paydays were worth itto him.

                    Floyd is like RJ. He has very underrated power. You have to realize that Floyd is moreso pot shotting at WW so its not like he gets to throw a ton of shots to stop guys with. I think his power is more than fine enough to make guys respect him, e****aly when you combine it with his accuracy. Really, you guys act like he's had 50 fights at WW. What are you really basing this off of? He stopped Mitchell, he stopped Hatton. He didnt stop JMM but Marquez was fighting very cautious and defensive. You could also tell that Floyd was worried about Juan's countering ability. He didnt stop Baldy but he was outweighed by 17 pounds in the ring and no one stops Baldy. He didnt stop Zab but its harder to stop a Southpaw and he may have stopped him if it wasnt for the low blows.

                    Either way, that doesnt mean he cant beat guys. Look at Sweet Pea. You act like Floyd is a brawler or a power guy. He doesnt depend on power. He's a pure boxer. You think he cares about winning a decision. He's still snapping all these guys head back so I dont see it as a problem
