Knocking whose heads off? Diaz lasted 9 rounds of a bludgeoning. Oscar took 8 without even being in top form. Cotto went to the 12th. The only guy he sparked was Hatton, who simply got hit with a perfect punch. That happens in boxing. Pac's hurt the bigger guys due to his speed. He ain't a lethal puncher at 147. I'm no Pac diehard but these threads are fucking foolish, and old as hell on top of that.
^^^^^beat me to it. agree totally with this post.
yeah and a guy going from 130 to 147 welterweight in two years should not knock people out easier. that's common sense too. he knocked out 4 guys at 135+ in a row after failing to put down 2 guys at 130.
hes ko 2 guys and tko 2. big difference. Most were from an accumulation of punches, and 1 hilghlight reel ko. So he really hasn't suddenly become a 1 punch ko guy.
Its kinda tough to understand when he wasnt knocking fools out when he was a super feather and he goes up 5 weight classes and he is knocking fools heads off
A little boxing history for you:
At Super bantumweight pac had a 90% KO rate. (the one that didn't end KO was a stoppage on cuts due to headbutts)
At featherweight he had 2 Ko's in 3 fights (the third fight was JMM who guess what has never been KO'd)
At Superfeather he has 1 loss 3 points wins (Larios KD 3 times, JMM 1 KD and MAB only KO loss was to Pac) + 4 ko wins.
does that sound like a guy with no power at lower weights?

that to me is suspect
a banger like SSM moved up from 147 to 154 and we all know he hits harder and was just as fast as pac and he had a lot of trouble
yet pac is moving up a lot more in weight and having no problems??
just food for thought

Simple,
he's no long weightdraining himself and rehydrating 12-14lbs in the 24 hours before the fight.
That right there is the answer!!Just like brother Naazim said,Pacman ain't a small dude!!Shrinking down probably did away with some of his power!!
WTF makes people think his power has increased? Speed kills. He's been fighting guys who can't see his shots coming at them, hence the damage he's done. It ain't that hard to understand if you've ever watched boxing.

what could account for pac's power increasing as he moved up in weight?
technique, supplements, training......

I think Roach is just polishing him off
plus he is one fast dude
like Nats said its the timing
the first Cotto knock down was a flash knock down
the second barely hurt him
but over time those punches add up to the end result
