Is Floyds power at the higher weights underrated?

I think if PBF sat down or tried to throw harder punches he would hurt his hands which in turn would hurt his chances of winning the fight. You do what you have to do to win the fight and hopefully you can be entertaining while doing that if not so the **** what.Comment

Floyd Power Underrated??? No. It's the speed and accuracy!!!
I see alot of the feather fist stuff. But when I watch his fights I dont see that at all.
Floyds shots are so fast and accurate that most of the time they dont see them then he puts a little something behind them as well.
At 147 against Judah he landed some of the nastiest and hardest body shots I ever seen him throw.
At 147 vs. Hatton. I think it was the 8th round (correct me if Im wrong). But He threw a shot to Hattons stomach made Hatton crouch down then blasted him in the forhead and Hatton was hurt.
He also hurt him to the body once then ofcourse the shots that ended the fight.
Against Oscar he was nailing him with hard power shots and even buckled his legs. Mind you Oscar was 160 Pounds or more.

After the fight Oscar said he had no idea how strong Floyd was and that he has deceptive power.
Now with Shane. A guy who Floyd will catch whenever he feels like it. And he punches with his eyes closed on top of that. I see Floyd dropping him a few times.
Floyd will most likely land shots on Mosely, however Mosely also took harder punches from other WWs fighters and wasn't "dropped" as you stated. I just don't see Mosely being hurt in this fight. Maybe it's a testament to Mosely's tenacity and grit as oppose to Floyd's power.Comment

Floyd has enough power to demand respect. I don't think he will stop Shane or hurt Shane. I don't think he will take enough risk to do it either.Comment

Seeing Floyd buckle Oscar always makes me laugh. He has decent power, but not crazy power. You would feel his punches if he were to hit you. I don't think he throws with much intention sometimes like Mosley. I think lately he just wants to outpoint you. Meaning he wants to get his punches in there, and get them out of there quickly. If he hits you enough you will fall though. Just ask Ricky HattonComment

I think Floyd has power IF HE CHOOSES TO SHOWCASE IT.
But the thing with him is he knows that he don't need to use it unless in dire necessity. You can see the decline of his KOs in his last 15 fights. His style don't demand power at it's fullest.
And I also think that he's not feather fisted, I think "brittle fisted" is more appropriate.
Does anybody exactly know when his hands started to be like this?Comment
