    barrera and morales loss their explosiveness the higher they went up.

    pacquiao was the opposite.



    with pac it's not just speed it's a lot of things.

    his combination of speed , stamina and power is great then you add the southpaw stance with punches coming from different angles and you have a nightmare for most guys.
    Pac would weigh around 147 on the night of the fight back when fought at 130, and still weighs in on the night of the fight around that amount when he fights at 135, 140, and 147, so it's like he never truly went up in weight.

      put it on naturally and you'll be fine. try to bulk up and lift weights and you're in trouble.

      plus people sometimes forget that most guys move up in weight classes as they get older. people also slow when they get older.
      Pac is overrated.

        those were his later fights at 130.

        he hasn't put on much the past year , he just cuts less.



        he gradually put on more weight going from 112 to 122 to 126 and to 130 though.

            We all saw who have bigger power in first fight.

            BARRERA was brawler for 20 years and when he fought PACQUIAO in rematch he ran and ran and ran.
            he used ring generalship you ****. and if Pac was that good he would have destroyed Marco.

            its only coz Hatton went for Pac, thats why he got KOd..

            cotto might lose but mayweather wont!

              Pac's punches do have serious pop, but it's the sheer speed
              and volume at which theyre thrown, from weird angles, that really
              takes out the opposition. They can't see it coming. Not all of it.

              IIRC...
              Erik Morales, the ONLY guy to clearly defeat an arguably-prime Pac,
              rated Barrera's power superior to Manny's, and his opinion is as
              solidly based on real experience as any out there, and vastly superior
              to many of the windbags on this forum.

              Power?
              Pac's virtue in the ring can't be reduced to just that.
              Power, speed and volume; accurately delivered, and in volume.
              Tireless ring stamina, and obedience to his trainer's instructions.
              A maniacal devotion to hard training.
              Those are Pac's strong suit

              The fact that his management/training team will stoop to any twisted
              contract machination to secure an advantage for Manny in the ring,
              is practically unnecessary. It's too often unseemly overkill.


              h.
              Nah, it was Morales punches who were harder.

              You got it twisted, doggie.

              Barrera himself said it on an article in LA Opinion.

              "Morales hits harder than Pac, Pac just hurts with you a volume of punches"-Barrera.
