If Floyd got hit with the Berto punch that dropped Ortiz in the 6th round.....

[JourneymanUK]

Would Floyd have gotten up? Or would Berto have been able to finish him?

I am in NO WAY saying Berto would land that punch against Floyd, or that he would beat him.....

I am just wondering if you guys think that Mayweather Jr can take a flush, clean, powerful shot from a natural welterweight?

TS Note: Same argument, different fighter.

if he got hit like that with his hands down,chin up and didnt see the punch hed be on his ass...but yes he'd get up

Did you watch him vs Shane Mosley? A guy who hits harder than Berto? A guy who has stopped 154 Pounders?

Floyd got rocked. Didnt go down. Recovered and Shane was dominated.

He took a clean shot from Shane Mosley, who i think hits way harder, and didnt even go down. That hit that Berto hit Ortiz with absolutely creamed him and when i saw the replay i was wondering how Ortiz took it. However i have no doubt Mayweather would get back up, keep his hands up for the rest of the round and then get off his stool for the next round and go back to doing what he does best.

well id say it wasnt the same type punch..berto caught ortiz on the tip of his chin....shane caught floyd more from the side and floyd didnt have his chin up in the in the air like ortiz did

He ties up and holds for the rest of the round bought Ref would allow him to hug Berto for the remainder of the round.

Yeah I watched it. But unlike the Ortiz-Berto fight, Shane didnt follow-up. Victor got more than a follow-up (several of them, in fact) and the fight was almost stopped.

He also asked this:

"I am just wondering if you guys think that Mayweather Jr can take a flush, clean, powerful shot from a natural welterweight?"

Floyd has done that. Heck Floyd has taken a flush bomb from a Junior Middleweight with power before.

It wasnt the same punch. But its a ****** question because when will Floyd ever be in that position?

Thats like saying if Ray Leonard got hit with the punch that landed on Williams in the same fashion would he go down. Um yeah.

Shane did TRY to follow up. Floyd strategically pinned his arm and kept his hands up. Floyd is levels above Ortiz and Berto my friend.

Probably goes down from it.. but recovers fine
