Floyd Mayweather has been hit twice in his last ten fights!

Different make up and fighter from Tim but Algieri appeared to have come with movement and preservation on the mind. Seems Manny landed a few times there. In fairness Manny clearly beat Bradley not once, but twice. I don't think he can match Floyds hand speed regardless of what Cotto says, but I think Pacs accuracy will cause him more than a few problems.

Floyd has been hit loads of times, Cotto bloodied his nose but Floyd has probably been hurt twice in 10 fights and I am not included maidana biting his pinky through the glove.

That video should have been titled - Proof commentators sometimes call punches that miss.

Some nerd makes a totally biased video that shows a dozen examples of the HBO comms calling shots that didn't land exactly as they described.

Overall Pac threw 751 punches. Pathetic.

I don't agree with the guy's conclusion (that Bradley won the fight), but he does have a point in that announcers can often influence and skew the opinions of those watching a fight . That's something Lampley is known to do - he's done it a lot with De La Hoya and he's done it a lot with Pac.

Just wanted to show that Pac did indeed have a lot of trouble hitting Bradley flush.

If you remember the Cotto/Mayweather fight, the shots Cotto landed were not effectively clean punches. They were grazing punches as either Floyd got out of the way, slipped a few of them or just did not land flush enough.

If Cotto had caught Floyd cleanly with at least two of those punches within the same round, we would have been having a separate discussion.

There is a difference between hitting someone and then decking them clean as a whistle.

Flush, clean shots..... no. Floyd got tagged a lot (a lot more than he was used to). But he was either moving away, or in the process of slipping most of those. You're right. However, he did get tagged enough to get marked up, which Floyd hardly ever looks like he's been in a fight. This is a testament to Floyd's remarkable ability to use his body and moves to lessen the impact of punches. Cotto was aggressive and pressing Floyd into the ropes... but Floyd used his shoulder rolls and other moves to lessen a lot of those blows. Still..... I think it's inaccurate to categorize these as grazing punches.

If what you mean are clean, flush shots taken with full force... the one that stands out most in my mind was the shot from Mosley in the 2nd round of their fight.

The two flushest shots ever landed on Mayweather were the two Mosley landed on him in round 2. I don't know what happened with the first one, because he barely moved and got hit right on the chin without rolling or moving away.

Didn't Floyd take a shot in like his 2,3 (?) fight that knocked him stupid
