    Shouldn't we also compare how each man did against JMM, then?

    If you think Floyd squeaked by those guy you don't get what he does. He was incompete control every minute of every one of those fights. I suspect you're being sarcastic though.
    he wasnt in complete control against DLH

    it was a close fight, he was behind until the championship rounds

    I never thought DLH/Mayweather was nearly as close as most people. Floyd controlled the fight for the most part, and DLH really couldn't do anything of substance. He got Floyd on the ropes and shoe-shinned him with some quick slapping punches (most of which didn't land), and Jim Lampley and the crowd would go nuts and people thought he was scoring with real punches... he wasn't.

    Yup, and to be honest I don't believe De La Hoya hit Floyd 122 times. I think he got credit for a ton of blocked punches.

    Can one amass a 57% to 24% power punch spread over the championship rounds?

    Stats are a load of rubbish at times.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    From the muscle work Floyds purportedly doing, my guess is he would be following the Marquez IV blueprint.

    He's already bigger at the weight and naturally faster as a counter puncher than marquez so I can see him willing to let manny punch, tie him up and muscle him around the ring and settle him down. Then I wouldn't be surprised to see him try to work defensively on counter punching but when manny steps out, I'd look for floyd to follow him out try to land the Marquez fight hand that dropped Manny twice and take his confidence early. If a puzzles been solved for you, you could look to do it better... even if it only means doing it faster.

    I really doubt that would happen. Floyd tried to do just that with Maidana and got into some trouble and so on the second fight, he went into his usual defensive shell again and easily beat him. I bet that's what he will try to do again.

    (...and I'm sure it's no coincidence that Manny seems to have lost all his KO power since drug testing has become de rigueur.)
    Ortiz fight should not count and therefore Floyd's last knockout is even further away.
    true. Ortiz KO was a crock of camel shit. floyd was so mad at the cut lip from the goat head butt then the kissing and tonguing gay bullshit that he just said FUCK IT and clocked his lil' ass, cold-cocked him. It was understandable after that headbutting bullshit.
    woulda been funny to give Ortiz 5 minutes to recover and take a point from Floyd, and let the damn fight go on, it was getting good.
    At least that shows that Floyd does have a KO power. I've always thought his power is greatly underrated...

Can you imagine Floyd knocking out Manny with power shots toe-to-toe? It would blow everyone's mind.
    I don't see him going toe to toe because that would be stupid with Pac's punch power and combo speed, but I do think he will sit down on his shots alot more in this fight to try and prove a point by putting some hurt on Pacquiao.

    TBH the more I study the two guys the more I see either guy winning this fight but I lean towards Floyd's skill and IQ to punish pac for things he usually gets away with and taking a UD.

    It's not that hard to count punches if you do it under slo-mo. But hardly anyone really does that; I've gotta feeling they just don't want to know the truth.
