I think the Mosley right hands were worse because they happened twice, and Mayweather had to spend the majority of the round recovering.

Floyd had it worse.
He got hit so hard his legs were gone, had to hang on to Mosley to prevent from getting dropped. Then he got hit flush again. He looked like he was one or two more shots away from getting knocked out.
Ward was hurt, but wasn't nearly as much trouble as Floyd and he recovered faster.
Floyd could have had a 10-8 round, even without hitting the canvas.

Ward was fighting a primed killer. Floyd was fighting a shot Mosley, 1 year removed from the ring and he took away his steroids, Mosley was suffering withdrawl symptoms and gassed in the second round.

Originally posted by Silky-Flow View PostWho had a worse round? Floyd or Ward? I know it's easy to say Andre because he went down. But let's remember Floyd was hurt badly TWICE in that round and as he was heading back to his corner he was stumbling a little.
Also who made the better recovery in the next round?
In closing this is what really separates a very good fighter from a great one imo. Both Andre and Floyd never allowed those same right-hands to land again. Compare that to Pac against Marquez in their last fight and you see the difference from a technical point of view.
Floyd however did do what you said.
