Who Has More Punching Power: Floyd Mayweather Jr or Austin Trout?

[FlatLine]

Trout has a 51% KO ration in 27 fights

Mayweather has a 59% KO ratio in 44 fights

But who do you think is the harder hitter overall at the 154 weight limit?

[Outwest Exp 355]

Trout is probably the harder puncher but Floyd is definitely the cleaner puncher.

Austin Trout, Mayweathers last LEGIT stoppage was against a natural 140lb'er (Ricky Hatton), what makes you think he could stop some of the people Trout stopped at 154lbs & are much bigger then the guys Mayweather couldn't stop at 147.

I would say Trout. Floyd has good power. It helps that he catches guy with shots they don't see coming. Floyd often lands clean and has excellent technique as well. If they weighed the same I would take Floyd. I don't see anyway Floyd can stop any good JMW at his size though. He's never even scored a knockdown at 154.

When he is trying to hit hard I would give Mayweather a slight edge. He has a good left hook and a fast hard straight right. It may have been a sucker punch but the right he hit Ortiz with was a very hard punch. It put Ortiz down for the full count.

Floyd hurt cotto more than a few times and nearly planked cotto in the 12tj, I don't remember trout hurting cotto at all. So ill say Floyd

He hurt dlh a few times even buckling him. He hurt cotto as well and could hsve taken him oit if he stepped on the gas a bit more, did trout hurt cotto?

I think it's about even. Mayweather puts more into his shots than Trout does relative to size.

Compare competition.

Yes, he did hurt both of them. But that's what I was talking about when I mentioned clean punches and hitting guys with shots they didn't see coming. I'm not trying to knock Floyd's power. He rocked DLH with a counter off the ropes using pretty much no legs at all. It was just a beautifully placed counter. For me it basically comes down to a 170 lb man should hit harder than a man weighing 150.

In terms of raw power, trout. But he never really landed flush on canelo in their bout. Mayweather is faster, has better timing, and has lightning sharp precision counters.
