Comments Thread For: Mayweather: I Have a Granite Chin; I Can Take It Like I Give It

I was born a fighter. I will die a fighter. August 26th

Holy ****, did Floyd just predict his own death in the ring Saturday?

[New England]

He showed plenty of toughness in the Cotto, Maidana, Chavez fights. To a lesser extent Hatton too.

the guy also probably hurts his hands every time he fights. fought with a broken hand more than once. only recorded knockdown in his career was after he broke his hand vs carlos hernanez. shane mosley had him basically out on his feet, and within a few rounds he was taunting the guy and nailing him with one of best right hand counters you'll ever see. i just can't stand this partisan crap that you hear around here. floyd mayweather wasn't tough? i mean FFS how far must your head be up manny pacquiao and bob arum's ass to not realize that a guy who fought 20 years at the top of the sport is inherently tough as nails?

Anyone expecting Floyd to crumble if and when Conor lands something is in for a very rude awakening.

I'd just like to be there to see the look on folks faces when they realize Conor's Sunday best is irrelevant.

Connors chin on the other hand looks sus. out on his feet in round 2 from baby slaps from nate diaz.

The Diaz brothers are known as hard strikers.

He's been hit clean plenty of times and skakes off shots like few I've seen in the post 70s era. People need to go back and watch his fights, he was hit clean plenty of times below 147 too. His chin is all time good.

His ability to compose himself and counter shots after taking a big shot is close to unexplainable.

The only shot that I feel he couldn't have come back from was that Chino shot in fight # 2. But luckily for him, it was at the bell.

MMA fans are going to be crushed after Floyd destroys Connor..... Connor is the face of ufc so if Floyd ends up with a KO
It could further devastate mma especially with some of there biggest stars getting popped for PED's.

Good article man, thanks!

He does recover well from big shots...IN FACTS after taking big shots Mayweather actually lets his hands go more!

This punch is becoming folklore

Floyd legs were stiffened for sure but he still had his wits about him. He immieditley tried to calm himself after the shot, knew where his stool was and adjusted his seat. His eyes were still clear and he knew where he was.

It was no better than the Mosley shot, Floyds body was rocked but his mind and eyes were still coherent. Shane was able to land two of those in a round on Floyd and not drop him so it's presumptuous to say maidana would have flattened Floyd if he only had more time.

Hope Floyd didn't jinx himself with that statement.
