      Tito had decent power, but if you really want give floyd anybody's power, you would want him to have the power that the prince had. That would undeniably make floyd mayweather the P4P king in the history of boxing.

          yes he had a good kayo percentage, but i think that his relentless pressuring played a bigger part than his punching power.

            He would throw punches in bunches, which i actually feel is better than having one punch k.o power.

              I beg to differ robinson was VERY powerful (with both hands), very different from ali: robinson's opponents often went down unconsciuous and got up a while after the 10 count

              this is what you can see from the existing footage
              (and remember the footage you see is robinson at 160 not in his prime)

                I know you guys are just speculating but if PBF had Tito's power then something else of his would suffer (im thinking hand speed mainly) and also he would no doubt be in a higher division. It would make him average in fact, i believe.... PBF how he is is fine. Power will mean weight and we all know what would happen if PBF stepped into the realms of Winky Wright... it wouldnt be a walkover ala Gatti or Castillo II.

The start to believe their own press.

                    Few things...

                    Ray Robinson possessed phenominal power in both hands at lower weights.

                    Trinidad at 147 and 154 could change a fight with one punch...to say his power was "decent" sounds uneducated.

                    As for the topic, we still don't know about Floyd's chin really, and even if he possessed power like Tito's there could be the short span where his does in fact fall in love with his power and gets caught by a big shot.

                    But yeah he'd be a force if he had really good two handed punching power. **** imagine Whitaker with Julian Jacksons power.

                      The thought of something like that would be disgusting.
