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

[p4pking]

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 remember talking to arturo gatti on a conference call in june 2005 1 week b4 his mayweather maych---i had the rights to a conference call as i was working for rabbitpunchboxing.com and had a press pass---i also talked to buddy mcgirt on the same phone call---all this was broadcast live on some southwestern radio station-----and mcgirt was saying that arturo was gonna be smashing floyd on the elbows, forearms, shoulders, to slow him down, keep touchin him...............

arturo touched nothing that night in new jersey----he touched oxygen, argon, xenon, he touched nothing but air. couldnt even find floyd;s fucking hacuna-matata as buddy called it---the spot right behind the ear. plan was to catch him there when he did his shoulder-rolling shit.

Are you suggesting that this fight will mirror the Gatti Mayweather fight?

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.

I want to say it was Omar Henry? Believe I saw that as well, it would've been in the build up to fighting Cotto since Henry emulated his style so closely. He was just a 154 lber I believe but certainly much bigger than Floyd naturally. The guy died not long ago of a rare cancer at just 25, pretty sad.

Key word is letting him. Punches are easier to handle when you know there coming.

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.
