Floyd has enough power to make you stop, but unless a fighter has a mediocre chin, at welterweight he doesn't have enough to KO anyone. Kind of like Tim Bradley.
Floyd's power really confuses me...

A couple of reasons. One, he doesn't go for the knockout with many of his shots. He has his speed because he sticks the shot out there and then pulls it back for defensive reasons. Because of that, he doesn't punch through his opponents.
Another reason is because, when you're someone that ALREADY takes a bit of power off the shot and you're not the biggest puncher to begin with, it's bound to have even less of an impact.
Most of his knockouts come from double impact or the speed that turns into power. Either a fighter is coming in and it's more of a counter shot or a clipping shot. The speed builds power and that can also get his opponent hurt. But he does all this for a reason.
He has brittle hands. That's something, I'm sure, he has on his mind when he commits to or turns over a shot. Which is perhaps one of his only PHYSICAL weaknesses.Comment
