The last time Floyd faced 1 punch KO power?

[rogdogx]

Maybe. You asked whens the last time Mayweather faced somebody with fight ending KO power. The gif I posted shows that his last opponent has ended a fight with a single shot. Maidanas power advantage, if he does even have one over Canelo, is not enough to make much of a difference, if at all.

Do you think Maidana will sell out more and take more risks than Canelo did?

[Cinci Champ]

because of the weight difference you would have to include canelo but ya hes hyped as one heavies punchers in the sport and he could arguably be biggest puncher floyd has faced in awhile but that really is his only weapon on floyd i just think floyd dominated him i think i was in huge minority that thought khan fight would been alot more entertaining seeing how mayweather tried figure him out with maidana we know what were gonna get barring maidana catching him

[MisterHardtop]

I'm raking my brain trying to remember the last time Floyd fought a real 1 punch KO type of guy. Maidana is extremely limited but he has that 1 punch crack. Even though I feel Matthysse is the bigger puncher of the 2 and better all around, Floyd hasn't fought a guy that can punch like this in ages. I'm not saying Maidana is beating Floyd, I feel Mayweather will be able to expose Chino's limitations. Still can't remember the last time Floyd fought a real puncher like this though.

Maidana does not have one punch KO power, he manages to break guys down by pressuring them and then hurting them late. He will be able to do neither against Mayweather, just like he was unable to do so against other boxers of lesser ability.

power is the last thing to go and in his previous fight he just KTFO of the so called baddest man on the planet in Margarito. Again, I dont think Canelo is P4P harder then Maidana but if you factor in the size then you could easily argue that Floyd has more of a chance of being hurt by Canelo than he would Maidana. I think Floyd would fear Canelo's power & strength more

Right but the willingness and the ability to pull the trigger at that age is not the same as it was when he was younger. Mosley said he felt strong but his body didn't respond like he wanted to (for the Pac & Canelo fights). Maidana is still at an age where his body can pull whatever he wants to in terms of activity.

I get where you're coming from. This is an unpopular opinion but I think Canelo went into that fight drained.

mosley still had the big right hand when he fought mayweather.

the answer to this thread question is the answer to this question:

Yes he did.

Ricky Hatton.

Yeap but 38 year old Mosley couldn't finish or continue the attack through the fight. After that round 2, he shut down.

Imagine what a prime (or EPO) Mosley would have done though.

Marcos may have Ko'd Karass earlier than Thurman but honestly Thurman's KO was more brutal. But like everyone else said I think Ortiz and Mosley hit's harder or just as hard definitely Canelo. True the Lopez fight you can argue the weight but he really beat the hell out of Lopez to a point I felt bad he was in the ring

Thought I was the only one, I was literally sreamin stop that **** after round 3, the body shots were ****in brutal

Brother, for the collective good for us boxing heads, I certainly hope so.
