    Has Mayweather "hurt" any of his opponents?

    I mentioned earlier that its concerning for Mayweather's GOAT status that he hasn't a legitimate knockout since the Ricky Hatton fight 13 years ago. His style relied on judges so much that he was vulnerable to losing if he faced an opponent with Canelo judges.

    Ever since Mayweather moved up to 147, I don't think he "hurt" any of his opponents. Did any of his opponents leave his fight Bloodied, bruised, black eyes, visibly hurt? I can't recall that happening.

      He deterred most of his opponents with his power at 147.

      Nobody was laughing or just marching forward etc

        if a opponent seems hesitant, or inhibited... often, they were either... hurt, or they are under the imminent threat of being hurt

        that is what happens to Canelo opponents

            He can keep you honest. I’d say it was less of the power and more the style/protecting his hands that limits the tko.

            I’d say his opponents feel some sharpness in the shots. But he’s not a heavy hitter at welterweight. And even less at jr middle.

            That you tuber Logan Paul is gonna get a shock from the first sharp shot Mayweather lands with, because regardless of his size, the accuracy and speed will make him gun shy..

            But big farkin deal, it’s a YouTuber lol

              One of his sparring partners (I forgot who, I think it was an Englishman who didn’t make it big) said that his shots weren’t that impressive but that he placed them so well that after a while of getting tapped in the same strategic areas they took a toll on you

                Hurt Mosley, Guererro and Maidana to the body.

                Rocked Cotto multiple times.

                This is an older Floyd anyway, in his prime he hurt and stopped fighters all the time.

                    His most explosive bad intensions is a 135 pound fighter .

                    Now tell me why ATGs at 147 cant run through him.

                    Forget the GOAT thats just pure BS coming from any fighter, there is very little between ATGs, if it was racing we talking 10th of second like differences. boxing because of the fighting nature of the sport makes it very emotional, so the actual boxing gets lost.

                    TS needs to look at a lot more boxing Floyd was the best fighter of this generation, all you guys that are new to the sport and I call new under 10 yrs , are all in the emotion and know very little about boxing from the sweet science perspective, its not just a phrase passed around its boxing at its deepest.
