I don't think Roy was ever caught with as good a punch as Mosley caught Floyd with... well until Tarver in 2004.
I think Floyd's toughness is hugely underrated. If you go back and look earlier in his career (when he was actually considered a "boxer-puncher" and something of a KO artist), he had some pretty gutsy wars. He straight up brawled with Emmanuel Augustus if I remember right.
Floyd is the full package (like guys like Leonard and Ray Robinson were): amazing skill and athletic ability, partnered with toughness and heart.
Floyd's a savvy veteran who knows what to do in any situation... if someone's going to beat him, they're going to have to totally beat him down or knock him out cold.
