    Does Floyd hit as hard as Cotto, Mosely or even Plasterless Margarito?

    Simple question guys.

    Considering Pac pretty much took these guys punches and didn't flinch. Do you think Floyd has the power to counter Pac and keep him off him? or will he do what Shane did and end up running all night long? Demarcus Corley seems to think this is the reason Floyd won't fight Pac.

    No. His high accuracy makes up for his lack of KO power. His punches will wear you out eventually, but he doesn't hit as hard as those other guys.

      i think he has enough pop to get the attention from pac. thats enough to keep him from pulling the trigger against floyd so he doesnt get countered

        He's not really feather fisted, but he has less pop than any of these guys.

          I think if Pac connects on Mayweather like Mosley did it's over.

              I believe somewhat he hits pretty hard but since he doesn't have that killer instinct style then I guess we dnt really know cuz Non of them have a one power punch!!

                Floyd doesn't hit like others but he is definitely better.

                  painfully obvious you don't follow boxing nor watch it outside of manny pacquiao. you would know the answer to this if you did.

                    Floyd buckled Oscar's knees at 154, he's a much better puncher than given credit for. Think about this, does Mayweather commit to his punches the way Cotto, Mosley or even plasterless Margarito do? The obvious answer is no. He could quite possibly have Cotto-like power for all we know, that wouldn't surprise me at all, problem is he has brittle hands. Mosley is on a different level than the other two mentioned in this thread though.
