Freddie Roach: "Mayweather Can't Punch At 147" - Agree or Disagree?

[araindon]

Freddie is playing mind games and general evidence does point to the fact Mayweather has little power at welterweight but I have never thought this to be the case. That man has pop...if he had feather fists, then people wouldn't be so reluctant to throw against him. Example, when people fight Malignaggi, they are willing to walk in and take some shots to get to him....when it comes to Mayweather, people stand there and don't pull the trigger because they are scared of the counter shot. He has very under rated power. The only man who tried jumping on Floyd was Hatton and we all know his answer to defence was to get punched in the head lol. Also I think Floyd has grown into a welterweight much better now and so he has gotten a bit more powerful recently. The punches he landed on Mosley the other night looked hurtful to me.

He can hit at 147lb, I wouldn't say he has one hit KO power but his punches are discouraging.

Zab Judah would have been stopped by Mayweather if it wasn't for the low blow and rabbit punch. If he started linking his punches up he would have stopped Mosley along with Marquez.

Freddie Roach: "Mayweather Can't Punch At 147" - Agree or Disagree?

I agree even as I disagree.

Floyd isn't a puncher at the weight, yet he's causing these guys hurt - he had an iron-chinned Shane looking ready to be took out.



The real question is, can Mayweather punch effectively at 147?

I gotta say - yep.

EXCELLENT INTERVIEW. What I found more shocking is how he said Floyd is flat-footed. I never noticed it before, but Freddie has a point.

Floyd still has Fast hands and fast upperbody movement, but his legs are not what they used to be.

But he is still accurate as his eyesight is still pretty good. So need to watch out for PBFs accuracy.

Floyd had pop at lightweight,not welterweight. He doesnt hit like Malignanni though. Floyd's fans hate admitting it though. Just ask yourself how many KOs he has at welter?? He knocked down lil JMM. So what,Manny did that 4 times. Would've been 5 if JMM didnt hold the ropes after the knockdown in Manny/Pac 2. Floyd hit Hatton with straight right hands all night long. It took a great left hook in the 10th to finally do it. So no,floyd doesnt hit hard at 147. Sorry floyd lovers,the proof is easy to see. Quit making these ****** ass assumptions that he could've knocked so and so out if he wanted. He didnt do it,so he couldnt.

Not doing something isn't proof that you can't do something. The majority of people here have not stabbed someone, it doesn't mean we're physically incapable of doing so.

Marquez and Mosley could have been stopped if he started stringing his punches together, Zab was on the verge of being stopped until he cheated.

He didnt even wobble Mosley or Zab. So what if he knocked down lil JMM. You love for floyd has made you blind. Quit making crazy assumptions. The FACTS are, the only real welter he's ever hurt was Hatton. Your boy doesnt have enough pop at welter. Real talk,no hating.

I think Shane would disagree. The shots Shane took seemed to bother him in the fight maybe more than he expected.

Given his condition entering the fight, Shane did well to avoid getting KO'd imo.

[Ether]

Mayweather can punch at 147, he chooses his hits wisely. It's usually the type of opponents he fights that prevent him from getting easy KO's.

I wouldn't judge Mayweather's power at ww based on the Mosley fight cause Mosley has one of the best chins in the sport, but he hasn't been hurting or dropping too many guys at ww.

Also Mayweather has stood his ground and walked down his last 2 opponents, so it's hard to judge his legs as well.

The way i see it, if Mayweather needs to move he'll move, he has just had more success recently standing his ground.

It's possible that his legs are going(not gone) but i couldn't make that kind of a judgment just yet.
