VINTAGE: Toney vs. McClellan sparring- circa 1990.

I agree for the most part. The one portion of Floyd's game that I would classify as "only good" (not great) is his power/punch. Tommy Hearns, Lennox Lewis, Tyson, Robinson...etc., had great power, where I feel that Floyd has a good, solid punch that has to be respected, but not feared like the rest of those guys. EVERY other aspect of Floyd's game, in my opinion, is great. The guy is a phenom, for sure.

Yeah Floyd's power isn't on the level of those guys mentioned, but to be fair to Floyd he was a pretty good boxer/puncher at the lighter weights and before his hand problems (his 130lb record is like 27-0 with 21 KO's or something to that effect), and also Floyd doesn't cut weight and ends up fighting guys with 10-20lb weight advantages or more. Floyd was putting guys away pretty effectively from 130-140.

But yeah, Floyd's punching power at 147-154 leaves a lot to be desired.
