    Floyd has power, just not at 154 or 147. Floyd was knocking fools out at lower weight classes.

          he was never a true puncher, and generally required a multitude of rounds to break a man down.


          roberto duran was a 135 lber with power. you think floyd hits like that? because you're wrong if you do.

          duran hurt durable guys much larger than floyd, namely iran barkley. hell, he even stunned hagler. that's power.

            sergio's defense was fine in his prime. the guy was fast as hell, and not all that easy to hit in spite of his being aggressive.

            his problem is that his defense relied entirely on reflexes and speed. when those went, so did his style.

              Disagree...he's always been hittable.

                  I was thinking, what would Margarito have been without his God like chin? I think he wouldnt of have lasted as long as he did. Cotto would have destroyed him on their first encounter.

                  Or Manny Pacquiao without his fancy footwork, how far would he have really made it? His hand speed and chin still present as well as his stinging power but no foot movement would have made Rios vs Pacquiao a real brutal fight.

                    he'd be the perfect modern HW if he didn't have the chin of a nine year old boy.
                    Wladimirs chin is underrated. 95% of every heavyweight that gets hit right on the chin by someone like Saunders goes down. Wladimir took a pretty good right hook by Thompson and wasnt shaken. Thompson hit Price with the same shot and Price went down. If anyone has a chin of a nine year old its Price.

                      If I were able to give Wlad something I'd say better nerves/composure whatever you want to label it as he panics when guys get close that is a big issue.
