How can Floyd's punch-resistance be lower now if he never got hit?

[brocktonblockbust]

This guy has almost never got hit. Mosely nailed him 3 times with hard rights, Judah caught him once, and Castillo landed some nice shots.

Can we say his resistance could be getting lower if he has not really ever got hit or let's say seriously hurt? Yes he was hanging on for dear life when Mosely nailed him, dear life, he was holding on like a lichen to a rock.

But will we find out he never had such a great chin in this upcoming fight? I always called him Glass-Jaw Floyd and I took lots of shit for it. I agree how can we even really know if this dude is slipperier than a vaselined fish? Nobody can touch him to even find out ....

But is there a CHANCE that his current age of 36 will be bringing down his punch resistance? I cant see him getting hit in the head, but I can envision a Canelo body shot catching him whilst backpeddling, really hurting him good --- he may need to take a knee or even 2 knees at different times in the fight, from ripping lefts to the liver.

Whose saying it is? He's been hit plenty of times, just not consistently throughout fights, which really puts wear on you. Just recently Cotto, Ortiz and Marquez all hit him with good punches at some point or other. He wasn't shaken up by them and there was no follow up so it's easily forgotten, but if you think he actually has a glass jaw you're... brocktonblockbuster. Right, nevermind

Age must be a factor in the sense it slows down a fighter and he gets hit more.

Floyd took some heavy shots against Cotto but overall he has very good punch resistance for his age.

Canelo just needs to time his punch right and then jump on him and take him out. If Saul does not do it then no one will.

I want to see Floyd knocked colder than a fucking ice cube in Reykjavik.

I consider floyd to be my favorite fighter. Hope I never see the day he even puts a knee on the canvas.

I just don't see him getting caught with that kind of punch. When he does it will be because he stayed to long. Like Roy in the Tarver fight. He will never walk into a punch like Walcott did either.

Two or three fights ago, maybe around the Marquez fight, Floyd was shown sparring in the ring with some massive middleweight who was supposed to have an amazing left hook to the body. Floyd was letting him batter his body and wasn't bothered at all by the power. There was a more extensive version on youtube if somebody can remember who it was. Not that a video proves anything but I don't think Canelo will be able to land enough to the body to slow Floyd down or do any real damage.

This is spot on. The only thing I would add is that for those first 2 to 4 rounds..Canelo just needs to make sure he's touching him. If he lands a good shot then that's a bonus. But make sure you touch him. Hit him on the arms, the shoulders, who cares. Just find him. Should be an interesting match up.

Punch resistance? I've always heard the legs go first and the power, if you have some, remains even after you retire.
If you slow down and start getting hit more, I'd bet your ability to take punches will slip too.
My advice to Floyd is don't stick around too long. My advice to everyone else is dont give Mike Tyson any face to face shit.
