Does Mayweather punch hard (for his weight class)?

Ask Canelo who he buzzed many times

People talk about his 147 pop, he had canelo and both cotto on the ropes....

In his latter career I felt Floyd let his hands go more with 10 oz gloves at 154, protecting them hands

Mayweather was good defensively but was one of the softest punchers of our era.

He was catching Hatton clean all night, Hattons own momentum and the ringpost helped him stop Hatton. I'm a Mayweather fan but i'm not going to act like he had something he didn't, there's no need to, his accomplishments speak for themselves.

Kostya Tzyu couldn't do it.

That must mean he is pretty damn good
to be one of the softest punches yet have 26 knockouts and 50 wins is insane

imagine if he could ;punch like pacquiao and had the same defence skills

Soft punchers don't last for 20 years AND that's TWO eras.
