What Made Floyd Hard to Knockdown

Floyd best attribute is his ability to adapt but that imo is dwarfed by his own build.
For anyone who's ever boxed it's tough to get in on a guy who is longer than you and is consistently playing defense (not to mention has great ring IQ). Combine that with his A side status and need to knock him out to win and the odds are definitely not in your favor.
Imagine just having to survive 12 rounds and getting a instant W. Makes your job a hell of a lot easier when you don't need to open up and take risks.

Very boring to casuals.
Floyd felt he didn't owe paying audience entertainment. If you enjoy watching boxing purist, and you got off watching Floyd that's a bonus for floyd. He knew the excitement came from audience desperate to see opponent take his head off, not him taking opponents head off.

Some of the most picture perfect shots ever
Not many guys today can counter the way Floyd does

Floyd had a very good chin and he was a fighter with great defence. It was difficult to hit him with big clean shots and also difficult to hit him with punches he didn't see coming. Floyd was usually one step ahead and never got sloppy.
