    Surprised about the equal punching power? Not me. We know Mayweather isn't a one-punch KO artist, even-though he had a lot of stoppages in the lower weight-classes, but his power at 147 (and a little above) is underrated, IMO. Especially if you consider his low punch output/landed shots on his opponents.

      Floyd must punch solid otherwise these top guys that are always much bigger than him would just run over him , but he makes them go into a shell and throw the lowest amount of shots in their career , Floyd doesn't go all out for KOs he just fights a very calculated assault needed to win , best ring IQ in the game .

      I think Canelo is a very dangerous fight he is going to be really strong and his hand speed is very high , Floyd don't want to stand in front of him for too long , to quote a catch phrase " float like a butterfly sting like a bee "

        hopkins has the best ring iq and boxing iq in the game

        reason why he is still a champ at 48 freaking years old..

        floyd is a close 2nd


        it will be canelos lack of foot agility that will lose him the fight

          Lol @ Shane's snowboarding excuse for performing poorly against Mayweather. Dude is trying to convince himself he could go at it again, lookin' for another shot, or another payday. No Shane, you are not getting another Mayweather sweepstake.

            That's because the comp is not as quick or sharp at 175 and above , its easier in the bigger weights , and Floyds not 48 yet so who knows .

            Im looking at the actual ring performances more than the length of time , speed and accuracy is the first thing that leaves a fighter , that's why the lighter weights will catch you .

            They both great boxing minds .
