Curious to see how Floyd would handle being cut.

I say this because 1. Cant recall him ever being cut in a fight, and 2. He seemed to be freaked out when his lip was cut do to Ortiz's ramming headbutt.

Would he keep his composure and stay calm as he usually is, or would it effect him mentally? We all know that getting lumped up or cut is very possible if he were to face Pac.

Your thoughts?

He did get cut in one of his early fights, don't remember which one though.

[IronDanHamza]

He's been cut before.

i think that was just a busted nose against Burton

fair points but to be honest, i think he was "freaked out" more because of ortiz' transformation into a billy goat and his subsequent head launching than the cut itself.

nah, thats a lil different. A cut is a normal cut. The Ortiz thing was a foul so thats why he got a lil upset. Also a cut most of the time is painless during the fight but annoying. I think that impact of the headbutt that split his lip was a lil painful and thats another reason why he was like that

He was cut by a headbutt above one of his eyes in one of his fights at 130.

I can't for the life of me remember who it was against.

Yes but we've all seen certain fighters change as soon as they develop a bad cut mid fight. Judah is one, and we saw what happened to Ortiz once he was cut and bleeding against Maidana. Its more a mental thing than a pain thing. In your head you're like "damn, if he keeps hitting this cut, its not gonna be good" Kind've throws your whole game off for certain fighters. You're now worried about protecting that cut moreso than executing your game plan.

Floyd was cut in his 2nd pro fight against a southpaw it was a clash of heads and it was a very bad cut you can still see the scare over his left eye

Yeah that's the one. Bad cut above the eyebrow.
