    when floyd decides to go on the offensive, he's as dangerous as anyone

    When floyd lets his hands go, he can stop any fighter fighting in WW today. Floyd does this rarely, but his offense is amazing. Look at the burton, gatti, and hatton fights and ull see what im talking about. When floyd decides that he wants to fight instead of box, hes a very dangerous man

      At that weight class his power was good but at WW he power is not that good.

      Remeber many WW are actully MW or SMW shrinked down to WW.

          He is indeed exciting, fast and snappy, but he doesn't do it often.

          Then again, you need to have little head movement and footwork for him. You can't stand centre and expect to beat Floyd, but pushing forward effectively can make him frustrating.

            When someone forces him to bring his A game he will, but I doubt we ever see it. Mosley probably will force him to be more offensive...

                no, just no, also when he goes in the offensive he gets caught often

                look at him vs hoya, when he finally decides to open up, who gets the best of the exchange?

                  Man, I saw so many opportunities for him to just explode on Oscar when they fought, and he didnt do it, and I just kept thinkin damn what a waste, hed have for sure gotten a KO but he just wanted to get the sure victory and not take a chance, Oscar was capable of putting him out with a single punch and he knew it!

                    either ur eyes dont work, or ur just a hater....

                    floyd didnt go offensive vs. dlh.... he went offensive vs hatton, gatti, n'dou etc...

                    in the burton fight, floyd threw 300 + punches in only 4 rounds.... thats what i mean when i say offensive.

                    and of course hes more vulnerable when hes attacking, its boxing. everyone is more vulnerable when on offense.

                    if floyd decides to let loose on mosley, he can stop him in 9 or 10, but if he decides to box, then he'll just when a UD. but my point is that IF he decides to fight a more crowd pleasing style, he'd still be just as good if not better.
