    the hardest punchers hes faced at WW are Shane, Judah, and Quintana. and if you want to count cheato. and pacroid.

    while its said, by a sparring partner, FLoyd hits harder than pacroid. so i guess pacroid is feather fisted too

    at WW, floyd has, Shane, Judah, oscar and hatton.

    cotto has one up on floyd. big deal. and i can tell you what, cotto didnt get hit nearly as hard by shane like floyd did

      Are you kidding me? History shows Cotto had to move up to welterweight because he was draining himself to make jr welterweight, also if u could take plasters of paris for 11 rounds id say u have a great chin! u need to go study boxing more b4 u put a post like this again! Mosely right hand never wobbled Cotto the way Mayweather did!

        Arum said Mayweather also asked for $20 million to fight De La Hoya, a fight Arum said he wasn't interested in participating in.

        "That's not in the cards," Arum said. "He wants $20 million for the De La Hoya fight? It's not there. Sometimes, my man, you gotta know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. We'll talk about things down the road."


        i knew something dumb was coming. if cotto wanted floyd, he could have called him out. but DIDNT
        You posted the same bull**** in another thread and I'll discredit here and see if you reply this time:

        Just when I thought every dumbass ***** had learned their lesson I'll have to teach another one. Mayweather wanted Cotto when Cotto was still at 140... that is like Mayweather calling out Maidana, Bradely, Alexander, Khan right now. The guys are good but they are not ready to fight Mayweather they need more time, Floyd was trying to get Cotto early to simply say "I fought him already." Cotto hadn't even beaten Paulie at the time and Mayweather is asking to face him thats more of a b.itch more than a man move.

        Also, there is such a thing as pricing yourself out. Floyd wanted 10 million fine, but Arum knew there was no way he could get that much money on Floyd/Marg Floyd/Cotto at the time, they weren't big enough names at the time. This is the problem with guys of your ilk, Floyd can do no wrong so let me pull a Floyd on you. If Floyd accepts a fight with Manny but Manny then says I want 30 million, Floyd doesn't want to pay that so its ok for Manny to fight someone else because Floyd doesn't want to give up that much money. Thats what Floyd has done his entire career with fights he doesn't want, he asks for an amount of money that the promoter can't possibly pay, its called "pricing yourself out." Every other normal minded person knows its floyd running from a challenge.

          All caught up with Yesir that I missed this one. Feather fisted is a bit of a stretch and the wrong word to use but he isn't a good puncher at 147. His punches may look flashy and a bit powerful but that is due to the speed of his punches. Take Manny for example, he can lay dudes out because he has speed but he has power to back it up. If Mayweather had raw power he would be laying guys out.
          a sparring partner said floyd hits harder than pac. so you fail, again.

          and floyd didnt sit down on his punches until he fought shane. again, ask shane if floyd is feather fisted.

              I don't consider Cotto chin to be weak, but he just takes too much shots to the head, and if you walk him down you can beat him. Marg proved it, Pac confirmed it, and Mayweather, like he did againts Judah, would exploit it.

                  shanes right against cotto wasnt nearly as vicous as it was against floyd.

                  Shane super loaded that punch up on floyd. he literally practiced on that hard right for may by hitting a ball. held by someone in his team

                  if i can find the clip, they showed this on 247

                      I don't think Mayweather could walk Miguel down though. Marg was the bigger man so it wasn't a surprise once he could take the punches that he could do that. As for Pac it wasn't until the knockdown that really hurt Miguel(once again the speed +power did it), was he able to start to do that. Mayweather just doesn't have the power to hurt Miguel and in return would not be able to walk down Miguel. He might bother Miguel and outclass him with speed but he wouldn't back him down or deter Miguel from chasing him the whole fight and trying to get up in that ass. Mayweather could win but he would be moving around the WHOLE fight.
