    The hardest punch he ever ate, was against Castillo in the first fight. JLC smashed him with an uppercutt that would have knocked most fighters out. Floyd has a decent chin, better than most people give him credit for.
    Actually he won a Unanimous decision against Hernandez.

      Why you getting happy over a sparring session. Everyone one sweats it except for guess who? Morales. Morlaes always says that it wasnt nothing and he didnt dominate him.

      Sparring is not a big deal. Morales got beat by Valero and Floyd got out done by Spaddy. It means nothing. Most fighters just try to work on stuff

          I thought that was just more of a blind punch though. He got hit while he was swinging. Most guys get KO on stuff like that. He got stunned and actually came back and won the round.

          I always wondered why people questioned Floyd's chin when almost every other top fighter has been dropped more then once or KO. Him, X, and Toney are the only 3 I can think of who havent and I think Im actually wrong about Toney and X

            hmm

            1) Floyd's chin is no more questionable than anyone else's. He tok hard punches from JLC and stood up. He used to fight at 130 and should still be at 135 but chooses to fight in an unnatural weight class to prove a point. If he got KO'd due to a hard hit or multiple hard hits by a big puncher at 140 (Tsyzu) then he should not be discredited in any way.

              2) Hopkins has been down twice, both vs Segundo Mercado.

              3) Toney was knocked down by Roy Jones and Reggie Johnson.

                was toney hurt by jonhson cause I know he just barely touched the ground when he got caught by Roy.
                I thought corely really stunned him for a few seconds but I think it was more of a wakeup call and he dominated Corely from then on.

                  Corely did wobble Floyd..with a straigh left I think..Thats becuase Floyd stood there and fought him..I think he was trying to prove something..Im not saying that Floyd has a weak chin but its not great either..I think if he fights Zab or Tszyu or a rematch with Corrales there is a possiblity that he would get laid out if he chooses to fight them..if he boxes he can beat all 3 of them.

                    He is a different fighter now. His father's style is out and his uncles style is full in. He is more offensive now and will continue to be. I still say that Chop is underrated but more importantly he was a lefty. He can fight offensive against those 3 and still have great success and wont get caught. Chico? Please, it will be even worst this time and Im a big Chico fan but this is all wrong for him

                      You think it will be worse for Chico?..why?..The 1st fight Chico was just almost falling on his own..he was eating a sandwich before the fight..he was weak as hell...probably over trained..I think Chico could take out Floyd to be honest..he has the height power and expereince now..He looked really good in the rematch with Casamayor..and looked really good againts Popo he is a better fighter now than when he 1st fought Floyd.
