    Mayweathers Power

    So I watched the Mosley and Cotto fight, and Cotto was getting hit with some major bombs but kept coming forward. He also got a beating from Margarito with plaster in his gloves but kept coming until he couldn't take it anymore. I could go on and on but my point is Cotto has proven without a doubt he has a major chin because alot of those shots he was taking were clean shots.

    So now we come to the Mayweather fight, which in my opinion he showcased better defense than he ever has in that fight and wasn't taking as many clean shots as he normally does, and Mayweather still was able to stager him with one punch and almost put him down for the count. Also in the Mosley fight it was times where he hit Mosley with enough force to physically push him back and make him get weary of throwing. Thinking on all this I came to the conclusion that Mayweather hits much harder than most people give him credit for. What do you guys think?

      Either you haven't watched alot of Cotto fights or crazy, Floyd straight right the best in the game and he couldn't get it in at all. Cotto Kept his hands up and didn't eat as much leather as he normally does. Yea Floyd was able to land clean shots but it's because he adapted and started changing which punches to throw. Also to say he didn't get stagger and had to hold on is crazy as well

        But Cotto does have a good chin, and Floyd since his return has been hitting harder.
        Wrong!!! He's always had deceptive power at his higher weight.

          margarito backed cotto up after the first round, when he was letting that sweat build up in that plaster and getting loose.

              Cotto was tired and Floyd caught him with a good sneaky uppercut. Cotto was taking PBF's shot good all night until the last round. Not that PBF dont have power he does have very good power, but he doesnt rely on it, he boxes and pics his shots. Cotto has a good chin not great but its ok avg I would say. PBF proved he had decent power againts DLH and Shane.

                    Spot on. Mayweather is a freak of nature. He hits hard, he has insane reactions, doesn't get hit, he can easily outbox his opponent or he can go toe to toe and still win with style. Complete boxer.
