    It's funny you mention that because that's the one part of his game I've always thought was overrated. I know people don't generally consider him a power puncher but hear me out on this. Guys without power, even guys like Malinaggi have even had the ability to really hurt a guy when they land flush. Alexander, who has very little power, almost knocked Urango out of his shoes when he connected flush on his chin. Floyd hits guys with more flush shots than probably any other fighter yet he rarely ever hurts his opponent. He doesn't throw a ton of punches but he picks his shots very well. I feel like if he had any punching power, he would knock out the majority of his opponents due to the amount of clean shots they take over the course of a fight. Don't get me wrong. I'm sure his punches hurt because of how cleanly you are getting hit with them but again I feel if he had any punching power at all, he would be knocking guys out more regularly

      Thats the thing you never know, Mayorga said Oscar hit harder than Tito and we all know thats a stretch.....................

      Sparring partners have also stated Mayweather hits harder than Manny though, and from my eye test I believe. Manny has always been accumulation puncher even in his lower weight days, rather than a one punch ko guy, but Floyd in them earlier days possessed that one punch fight changing power



      I blame Hatton for skewing the perception of Manny's power.....The Hatton fight also ruined Manny to a degree, he believed that he had true WW pop, causing him to become disinterested when he didnt get that early ko......Manny needs to go back to the I not gonna stop throwing and wear you down style, he needs that even If may not ko you I will give you the whooping of your life style to beat Bradley................

        There's absolutely nothing underrated or under-appreciated about this guy.

        The entire internet is loaded with 12-25 year old stooges who idolize him and spend their days discussing even the most minute details of his life ranging from his actual fighting record, to his car collection, to chicks he dated, to what he eats, to how much money he's made, to things he tweeted, etc...

        I've never seen a boxer with more male groupies in my entire life.

            His physical strength on the inside(Chino is already underestimating this aspect of his game) and his chin is very underrated.

                  his ability to beat up women and get away with it, clearly he's very underrated in this regard

                    You can't be this clueless. Hee doesn't lay into guys because of his hands, he just hurt his hand recently but his power is there, he just doesn't use it the way he could as a result

                      His body punching without a doubt, Angel Garcia doesn't seem to rate it saying that "Mayweather doesn't go to the body because he's afraid to get countered on top". The most efficient way to go to the body is to attack the mid section, Mayweather in the clinches will double up on a short right uppercut, even peck away at it with jabs and occasionally straight right hands which are devastating, all to the mid section. Guerrero slowed down considerably because of it and I I certainly don't see Maidana handling it any better.
