Is Floyd Mayweather's punching power underrated?

[Anthony Birts]

I think he punches harder than most people think.

[Interloper]

It's absolutely underrated. He was a puncher at 130, but he doesn't commit to punches since he's climbed up in weight. Doesn't take the risk.

Remember, if you commit to shots and sit down on them, you're exposed. He doesn't want to risk getting caught with a shot and knocked out. It's all about staying undefeated.

Yep I would agree that it is underrated. I think it's partly do to with his history of brittle hands. I think if he lets fly with everything he has he runs the risk of breaking his hands so he only lets go of a real hard one when he HAS to.

[LoadedWraps]

Underrated to casuals, and unknowledgable fans. Knowledgable fans know the power is there, regardless of "when was his lack KO...yadayadayada".

[BigAlexSand]

Very Underrated! Relaying on fundamentals and defense doesn't mean you have no power. Mayweather is an intelligent fighter, who's set of skills doesn't revolve around power but all physical and mental strengths.

[sugarsmosley]

it's the shots you don't see that sting the most.

[-MAKAVELLI-]

underrated...as you guys saw, if the cheapshot presents itself, Floyd will knock you out

[TheFrog]

I should add to my point however that it is MOST casual fans who underrate Floyds power. There is a group of fans out there however who predict stoppages for every single Mayweather fight and THOSE people are the opposite. They drink a little too much Kool-Aid

[Kuyukut]

yes, fraud jr sucker punching power is underrated just the way boxing fans underrate the hand of granite paulie malignaggi.

[miniq]

Well not really..

It's nothing special...

It's just the way he uses his power... counter shots and throws combo's if he catches you exposed.
