    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.
    Your funny it took Floyd two sucker punches to put Ortiz down

      He was a good puncher at the lower weights. Not 1 punch ko type of guy, but very sharp and accurate, just dismantled guys.

      Not a power puncher at 147 and 154 though....

        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.
        Nothing else needs to be said.

          His hand problems are the main reason why Floyd has not been stopping guys at 135 and above.

            sure he is a power puncher but he just choses not to power punch anyone and risk not giving the fans a 12 round fight.

                  You are trying very hard to prove something that isn't true. Mayweather is an average puncher today at welterweight. I don't give a damn what Mosley said, Floyd does not punch as hard as Canelo and common sense should tell anybody that. Mosley is just wrong about that. Canelo knocks fighters down and out on a regular basis. Floyd hasn't knocked anybody on their ass since Ortiz and Ortiz has a weak chin and didn't see the punches coming. What the hell are you talking about saying Floyd wears pillows for gloves and Maidana's gloves are like MMA gloves?????? That's impossible plain and simple. By the rules of boxing both fighters must wear gloves that are EXACTLY THE SAME WEIGHT. I know you are a big Mayweather fan so just stick to the truth. Floyd is a highly skilled boxer with fast hands and feet and a great defense and offense. He is a sharp puncher, yes. he is NOT a big puncher in the welterweight class he is now fighting in.

                    Maidana wears horse hair gloves where the adding can be broken in and distributed to the back o fthe glove... yes they weigh the same. But Maidana's force his padding away from his knuckles to make for harder punches. That's what he means by saying maidana uses basically MMA gloves.
