A little more than half of Floyd's career took place at 130lbs, where he went 27-0 with 21 KO's. So at one point in his career Floyd was definitely seen as a guy who can KO the best of his weight class. As he rose in weight classes and started meeting bigger boxers, of course that's going to change. You honestly think Floyd couldn't get the KO's at WW because he didn't want to? It's because he couldn't. Even against Marquez he tried, and he said in the post fight interview that he tried going for the KO but couldn't get it.
My point is, let's see GGG get the KO's at 168-175lbs? Or let's see if he will adjust his KO style to a more boxer style once he meets bigger men up there. It's easy to criticize the power of a boxer who fought in 5 weight classes while bigging up someone who has fought in only one weight class.
Floyd was on average, 2-3lbs above what ever weight limit he was in from 135 to 147. At 135 he would come in at 137-138, at 140 he would come in at 142-144, at 147 he would come in at 148-150. While his opponents would be bigger than him by a good margin. So yeah, let's see GGG go through that as well and see if the KO's keep coming.
