      Sometimes it's not about how hard you punch, but where you land that punch. You can throw dozen of punches at a guy's face, and he'll keep coming at you. But if you can land one clean punch at his chin, he'll fall down or weaken. I don't believe in the whole "iron chin" bs, if your body was not made with metal, you can get knockout just like every living person.

          He hits you right on the sweet spot, and a lot of the time when you don't see or know when it's coming.

          It's not prime Tito type of power.

          But he has pop.
          In other words, he has sneaky power.

            He's a potshotter who has outlanding more punches than every opponents he has faced except for the first fight he had against Castillo in which he clearly lost due to an injury earlier in that fight. He doesn't throws that many punches, he still somehow lands more punches than his opponent, that my friend is accuracy. His offense is very underrated because he can use any of his hands to land shots consistently and accurately, not that many fighters can do that.

              yea its underated, his timing is what gives him this power, hes got one of the best jabs today, stops momentarily even the most agressive fighter with that jab

                yep, at WW he's relegated to potshotting. we all know this.

                but I bet hopkins gives floyd a run in the potshotting department.

                  Oh well, how accurate is Hopkins? But seriously though, how could a guy throws 50 punches a round while his opponent(s) throws 80 or 100 punches, and he still somehow manages to lands more. Not that many fighters can do that.

                    Only to people who don't understand the technical side of boxing.

                      hopkins can do that. and he's 40+ years old. why is floyd fighting like a 40+ year old?

                      exactly. we all know floyd is a potshotter. so how can anyone underrate something everyone already knows?
