    Hypothetical. If Mayweather had Titos power?

    If PBF Mayweather possessed every skill he does now plus had Titos power would he be the greatest fighter of all time or would that basically be describing SRR? I dont know much of SRR thats why I ask.

      Hard to say. He could fall into a situation that many good boxer/punchers fall into. They get to where they trust their power so much that they end up abandoning the skills that got them to the elite level. That happens when you put together a string of wins by devastating KO. The start to believe their own press.

        robinson had power in both hands and knocked people moving forwared, backward to the sided

        let's put it this way if you add true KO power in both hands to pbf (I am sure he would put in the movement part) you have a boxer who MIGHT be even better than srr, because of his more disciplined style

          This is exactly what happened to Trinidad. Not that he had the skills of SRR, but anyone who saw Trinidad early on knows that he boxed more back then. From David Reid and on, Trinidad was exclusively a headhunter.

            So it's good that Mayweather hits soft.
            That way he can actually use his skills to put the punishment on fighters before taking them out of there...the ones he can KO that is.

                If Floyd dropped down to featherweight then he would have Tito's power, just like when Tito was fighting at welterweight.
                If Floyd competes in his proper weight division he has average power, just like when Tito fought at middleweight. Tito's power has much to do with weight draining as it does his ability.

                    then we'd have a more polished version of Sugar Ray Leonard.
