    if Floyd had iron hands with one punch ko power to go with his iron chin

    it’d be ILLEGAL for Floyd to box

    One punch ko power Floyd wow no one would stand a chance

      Probably right, he managed to beat alot of really good opponents while likely focused on not throwing too hard to protect his hands. I see alot of early ko wins if he had that kind of one shot power.

        Funny how everyone loves downplaying his Ortiz win claiming Ortiz was old. Ortiz was 37.

        Wilder right now is 40
        Chisora is 42 and people hype him up still
        Zhang is 42 and you still get people mentioning who he should fight
        Usyk is 38
        Fury is 37

        Yet you never here anyone love to attach 'old' to their names in these discussions yet when Ortiz was 36-37 all you heard is how old he was (anyone claiming he was older than stated has 0 proof of it)

          He did reach his full potential, if not even surpassed it thanks to years of record padding and a manufactured title run. I don't see any real reason to believe he could have been much more successful than he was. There are plenty of guys out there who are tall, hit hard, are decently athletic etc etc.

            The only way Wilder and a lot of boxers could have reached their full potential is if they started boxing at 8 years old and not when they're 20.
