Shane mosley: Misconception of Floyd's Power He hit as hard as canelo!

[Luilun]

Hey Mosley you dumb $hyit he tricked you into not using your steroids while he was on them

[Beercules]

So Canelo hits as hard as a WW?

[NYG]

Is it me or does Mosley sound very ****** when he talks?

[johnm is...]

Is it me or does Mosley sound very ****** when he talks?

Years of getting punched in the head has taken its toll.

He just looks dumb. Even in the face to face with Floyd he was dumb

[tokon]

The first clean flush shot Floyd lands will shock Conor.

Well the first straight right Mayweather clipped Manny with certainly shook him, and discouraged him from committing for most of the fight, and I'd think Pacquiao was more used to taking those types of shoys than Mcgregor . . . .

I don't know if Floyd ever hit as hard a Canelo, a naturally much bigger man.

But Mosley is verifying one of boxing's best kept secrets: Mayweather hits very hard.

It isn't really hard to believe if you look at it logically.

Floyd's record is chock full of good to great punchers, all of whom at some point decided it wasn't a good idea to walk in and land those power punches...and there is only one real reason for that.

The reason why there aren't more KOs is that Floyd is a safety first guy who would rather cruise to a wide points W than risk coming out of his defensive shell for a KO that goes down the same in the record books.

But, that is against elite boxers who are usually still dangerous all fight.

McGregor will not be like those men. McGregor is not elite.

Moreover, Conor has NEVER been hit as much as he is going to be hit when he is in against Floyd.

Mayweather bats over 50% versus elite top 10 P4P opponents; against Conor, that will be higher.

And, if it reaches 8 rounds, Conor will be in new territory since MMA fights max out at 25 minutes.

So lets recap: Conor will be getting hit more than he has ever been hit, at a higher percentage than he has ever been hit, and is looking at doing that longer than he ever has had to. Now, throw in the fact that Floyd may hit him HARDER than he has ever been hit and CLEANER (more accurately) than he has ever been hit) and this is shaping up to be a slaughter.

This will make the Gatti fight look like a tactical chessmatch.

Its not really a secret. Its part of why people say he is such a great defensive fighter, because he hits hard enough to make guys seriously question coming in on him.

Same as Rigondeaux. Yeah he can make you miss, but he makes you pay in a way where you stop wanting to apply pressure to him.

Compare Rigondeaux and Mayweather to another great defensive fighter like Ivan Calderon who didn't have that power and had to always be moving and active to keep guys off him.

Precisely.

Much worse for McGregor here. I can see him getting rocked early.

This idea that Floyd doesn't have any punching power is a new age thing.
Everybody in the boxing world know Floyd has power..he' able to deter world champions and contenders just with arm punches. So when he actually puts weight on his shot it's not surprising people say he hits hard. In the Pacquiao fight Floyd hit Pacquiao with one right hand out the gate and he just seemed to want to coast after that. That also plays a part in it too, all throughout camp you're told this guy can't punch. You end up with the ring and is shocked that he has good pop, and is very accurate.



That being said. Floyd definitely doesn't hit as hard as canelo

[hugh grant]

Floyd can hit hard but he throws not many powerful punches.
The only ones he throiws too hurt are when you miss him and get countered.
That's why people wary to attack him.
But the majority of his punches are just for show for judges
