    I don't think they are similar other than both being hurt, Floyd was still in control where Wilder was open as a barn door and Ortiz couldn't deliver letting him off the hook, Floyd though hurt kept his composure the entire time and tied Mosley up.

      Floyd was mildly hurt, honestly some refs may have stepped in during The 7th. I would compare it more to Wlad knocking down AJ or Pavlik Taylor 1

          Not even remotely close man. Mayweather was briefly stunned and was starting to take back control by the end of the round. Wilder was reeling around the ring and had the ref looking closely at him.

            Nothing alike.

            Mayweather was hurt for about 20 seconds and finished the round strong.

            Wilder was out on his feet for the whole round, took consistent shots and didn't get his legs back until 2 rounds later

              There is nothing similar about them. Wilder appeared much more hurt and was trying to survive the round. Mayweather came back and actually won the latter part of the round.

                Wilder was much closer to stopped imo. I'm sure the ref was really thinking about stepping in.

                But yeah, their resolves were both put to the test. Wilder had at least been tagged before and hurt whereas Mayweather had never really been in that troubled a situation before. Even when his glove hit the canvas in one fight, or in a close fight with Castillo, he never really appeared to be shaken up until then.

                  I think Mayweather was comparatively much more durable, just when he got up to 147 he just stopped being willing to take hardly any punishment.

                    Tony weeks would have stopped it and Wilder is damn lucky it was allowed to continue, as many refs would have stopped it. Mayweather was hit with one clean shot. Not even comparable.
