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

[jrosales13]

He doesn't hit as hard as those 3. It also has to do with him being naturally smaller than those 3. But, he still has very respectable power. He can stop you in your tracks type of power.

I want to see Pac attack Floyd's body and pretty much ignore all the punishment upstairs. Floyd doesn't have lights out power so there's nothing to worry about.

Floyd's body looks vulnerable to me. Most people tend to go head hunting for Floyd and hit air. Pac has the speed and stamina for a 12 rd body attack to slow and deter some of Mayweather's own offense/defense.

I do agree that accurate punches can throw you off your game but it'll be interesting if Pac will eat those and throws his power shots at the same time for the first few rounds. Be interesting to see how Floyd takes those shots too and if it puts him off his game. A few hard punches from pac can daze you and you won't be throwing such accurate well timed counters all night long.

If Manny doesn't KO him, he'll be out of range after getting caught. Floyd's ability to dictate range distance will make it so difficult for Manny to throw his angle combos. Floyd knows Manny has a shorter reach advantage, and he'll be in good position to give himself the best chance to stay out of close range when Manny try to retaliate.

Interesting, it's true Manny does tend to want to retaliate if someone lands on him but if you watch his fights closely he also uses another tactic where he'll throw a fast punch with no power and then throw his power shot as the other guy comes back with his at the same time.

True. But i don't think Floyd will bite on some of his baits, but i do think he'll caught Floyd few times unexpectedly though. I've never seen any Boxer as energetic as Manny is.

The people who voted for "No, he's always been feather fisted" are either sore and bitter Pinoys/*******s or just ignorant individuals.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. may not pack as much power as the hardest hitters at welterweight but he had plenty of power in the lower divisions. At ww he has enough power to get your attention and respect and eventually get the K.O./TKO down the stretch. Thing is that he fights more on his back-foot.

To say he is feather fisted and always has been is just dumb.

And, vice versa.

How would he do that if Floyd isn't gonna be in close reach range? Pac would have to lunge in[due to his shorter reach] with his head leaning forward to throw those punches to Floyd's body, in which would also leave himself open for Floyd to counter with his hooks on the inside and quickly move of out of range.

Accuracy and Misses seem to deter opponents from throwing as much against FLOYD. His accuracy and his opponents accuracy should be detailed in every fight that he has fought and then you will be able to understand why he doesnt have to have the most pop just keep you honest. I think PAC has more problems with punches that he doesnt see coming than a guy who is slow and has thunder in his fist. Marquez had Pac doing the stanky leg and im quite sure he doesnt punch harder than Mayweather.

Movement and a tight defense will keep you from getting smoothered if you apply your craft have great stamina and know how to let your opponent throw his load and then counter in between. Jab is the most effective tool and it throws off your opponents timing of his own offense if he is getting tagged on the way in.

PAC has become a two fisted fighter but his money punch is the straight left. Usually guys let him throw two and three punches and sometimes more with no return fire. If you throw one and take one and the guy moves then this offensive juggernaut has to reset eventhough he jumos in and out from weird angles.

Pressure- I have never seen Pac adjust against pure pressure from a fast fighter who will stay in the pocket but also grab if he gets hit with a good shot. fLOYD NEVER GETS DISCOURAGED IF HE HITS AN OPPONENT AND THEY DONT FALL BECAUSE HE NORMALLY WANT SIT DOWN ON HIS PUNCHES ANYWAY. HE believes in the hit and not get hit method. If you can take a couple of his best punches it doent matter because he has more where that came from and im pretty sure it got your attention. We will see whose will breaks first usually thats not Floyd.
