I didn't say he had no pop. He's got a GREAT snap to his shots. But it's his speed that kills people. He literally hit David Diaz with EVERY punch he felt like hitting him with. It was someone that took him 9 rounds to get out of there.
Hendall Holt didn't have that much luck, hitting him with everything when he and Diaz fought, but the moment he CLEANLY caught him, Diaz went down.
Not to say that Holt even has more power or that he doesn't. But the point is that Pacquiao had better luck hitting him, while Holt stayed on the backfoot and still had a good time hurting Daiz, a guy with a great chin, with a single shot. Pacquiao stopped Diaz because of overall punishment.
