Is it a Good or BAD thing that Floyd HAS NEVER BEEN KNOCKED DOWN Before???

[DLT]

More than anyone in history...

I said "like". It wasnt a literal statement. Its kinda like Naseem saying that if he gets hurt then he's going to turn into a dragon, which he did

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

Against Judah, Judah hit Floyd while standing on his foot.

I didn't realize he was down as an amateur.

He was down vs the Cuban. Wasn't called. A lot of people don't consider it a KD but by rule it looked like a KD to me.

The Mosley shot wasn't a KD but I think that was probably as good as a KD. He overcame a lot.

Funny how this is a defense of Floyd being knocked down, whereas when JMM uses that...its a tactic.

Both "foot incidents" were likely inadvertent, its a common thing when righties and lefties fight.

[The Tase]

floyd has been down. he took a knee when he broke his hand.

he was also down in the judah fight, but it wasn't called.


corley hurt him. mosley hurt him. maidana hurt him as well.


if he keeps fighting, he'll eventually end up knocked out, the way virtually all of the greats have ended up.

breaking your hand and taking a knee is a lot different than getting your dome split by a powerful punch.

he wasnt really knocked down in the judah fight. sure judah landed a grazing hook but it was their foot getting entangled more than anything.

getting hurt and staying up on your feet is a lot different than getting hurt and having to get up the canvas and trying to recover the rest of the round.

completely different.

Has to he a good thing surely?

He's been hurt and hurt badly a few times so we know he can deal with that adversity.

Floyd is hard to hit - this fact just underscores how crafty he is.

[CatchAndShoot]

I don't think it's ever a bad thing to not get knocked down. And are people forgetting gym wars. I'm sure he's been through it all, besides a flat out KO.

You have to understand. He spars like it's a fight. Not like a sparring session. By the time he's in that ring, he's as sharp as a razor, and the fights already been won in the training camp.

[DannYankee]

He has never been forced to do the booty dew which is remarkable, but he is pretty sound defensive, and even if he ever is he will probably go straight back to his defense which is the best thing he could do since its a world class defense.

not getting knocked down is a good thing......it's a testament to how good your defense and chin is.

[UTEP]

Floyd's always had the advantage of hometown referees who don't call his knockdowns.

Yea there was no "foot stomping" at the time of the knockdown, you can clearly see that at 40 seconds of the vid . Mayweather was dropped.
