Mosley says PBF and Canelo have about the same punching power

[jehoshaphat]

Yeah, I saw an interview of Mosley saying that too. I always figured Floyd hit harder than the public opinion but he just doesn't sit on his punches a lot throughout a fight because of his movement. Against Mosley he sat down a lot more on his punches than usual so Mosley got a good gauge of those punches. I think they do hit close to the same but Canelo throws more of his harder punches a lot more often and this gives the impression of being a harder puncher. Its a percentage game. Floyd can hit you with 4 or 5 of his 70 percenters and only take 1 or your 90 percenters. (Most hit and not be hit shots probably teeter around 70 percent of your power)

Yeah, I thought it was silly when people were saying "ohhh Mosley stopped fighting." No, Floyd made him stop fighting with his precision countering and POWER. Floyd's no Matthysse but he can keep guys honest for sure.

his speed and accuracy will add to the perception of power

I watched Matthew Hatton in a weight too high walk through Alvarez punches. I also watched a very boring fight vs Mosely.

Alvarez looks to me another Abraham thats strong in the weight hes boiling down to but will be nothing at all in the weight above.

Good point and you may be right.

He was the only man to put Trout down.

Well then id say he was intimidated by Shanes speed and by fuck he's going to be just like Abraham (a turtle in his shell) if that is the case.

Trout is as fast as Shane and he did not cover up he attacked smartly.

Well to be honest the only fights iv seen of Alvarez were the Hatton fight where I was wondering what the big deal was. Then the Rhodes fight which wasn't a great deal better and then the Mosley fight which was so boring I kept nodding off.

It may be a biased point of view but this upcoming fight doesn't fill me with anticipation in the slightest. To be honest although the scores were wide I felt Marquez was the only person to have the sense to not let that lean back defence deter him. He kept throwing shots. Same as Cotto. I just cannot see Alvarez doing the same.

True but Trout himself never really fought anyone outside of a washed up Cotto.

[Beanflicker]

He has a lot of power against light-flyweights though, ask Ulises Solis hehe

[FinitoElDinamita]

I can understand why mosley would feel that way. When you get hit with real accurate punches and shots that you dont see coming, they will hurt a lot more than it looks and he took a lot of those from floyd.

Canelo may be heavier handed and his punches might have more muster but that doesnt necessarily mean that his shots can cause more pain.

Floyd is a dangerous puncher due to his speed, timing, and punch placement.

Mosley fought both so he knows this.

[Violent Demise]

Alvarez has always had great respect for Mosley. He took it easy on him. He could of stopped him if he wanted. But out of respect for him he never went for it

This statement is so not true!!! In the amateur he was dropped by Vanes Martirosyan in the first round. He finished the round but he got dropped with the same punch

*washed up Cotto? the same Cotto that was teeing off on Mayweather at the end of their fight?... Cotto didn't just lose, he got dominated..
