Floyd is a Power Puncher

[Kid-Chocolate]

History shows that Floyd has always been a power puncher. He was knocking out fighters consistently till he jumped to 147 lbs and then 154 lbs. His power carried over but Mayweather developed hand problems fairly early in his career and this became a problem at 147 and 154 lbs where heavier, tougher and stronger opponents wear down his hands more.

This is why Floyd wears massive pillows on his hands compared to so called power punchers like maidanna who wear ufc gloves in comparison. Not only that but floyd does not have the killer instinct/spite any more because he is aware of his now fragile hands. This is why he always coasts to the UD victory unless provoked by the likes of Victor Ortiz. Floyd even dazed Cotto late in their fight and could have stopped him. I dont believe Floyd hesitated because of he cared for Cottos safety, Floyd simply does not want to risk damaging his hands even more at this late stage in his career.

Mosley who does not get along with Floyd even admitted that Floyd and Canelo punch about thesame, considering Canelo wears those mexican power puncher gloves e.g. Cleyto Reyes, it shows that if Floyd had no hand problems, he would have a lot more knockouts.

Floyd is no power puncher.

If he stops a guy it's by accumulation and that has always been the way. Including at 130.

He has underrated pop, and enough pop to get guys respect but by no means is he a power puncher.

floyd is just a defensive fighter and doesn't take too many risks. you aren't going to knockout many guys out the way floyd fights.

I remember the commentary during Floyd early professional fights (prior to winning his title) where the commentators referring to him as a devastating/hard puncher.

He was knocking out tomato cans. Yes. Once he fought Castillo a million years ago, he has only knocked out 6 fighters. One being a sucker punch on Vic Ortiz. So that's technically 5 KO's in 10+years.

Man that's a "power puncher" right there.
