    Brittle hands. Xylocaine is not a ped.

      It's because of his fragile hands. His hands would not make it to the fight if threw hard on the bags or mitts.

        Last time people asked Floyd to go hard on the mitts they turned around and tried to federally report him for running an illegal fight ring

            Is he just saving energy or some ****?
            Focus mitts, the way that Floyd does them anyway, are about establishing muscle memory (if a hook comes, you build the instincts of the different ways that you can go about nullifying the shot, block/catch-and-shoot/duck/etc, while remaining in effective position to get your own shots off).

            Looking at the heavy bag work, Floyd works on placing his heavier shots, to the head/body, but it also seems like he's trying to max out the fatigue that can set in when you throw a ton of punches. why allow yourself to get arm weary on fight night?

                I've wondered this as well.

                I believe behind closed doors and when the cameras are off Floyd goes hard, especially in sparring.

                  Its like jeff said he needs to work on s/c

                  And drink shakes.

                  He has his technique down.
