If power = force x velocity where force = mass x acceleration.
Pac ain't exactly small handed (mass) and throws real quick (acceleration/velocity) that creates the power.
He throws at weird angles and is very well planted with his shots (balance, quick footwork to be in punching position) Anyone who's anything to do with boxing knows the shots that you can't see hurt/stun you easier. He's good at combos and angles atleast 1 won't be seen.
So Pac has all the qualities to drop/KO marg, only Margs chin can save him.
But remember he saw mosleys punches coming, Shane uses so much leverage and cocking action you can see them coming, and he still got KO'd. Pac's punches are a lot harder to see coming.
Think of Mosley swinging a sledgehammer and Pac swinging a ball with a chain where you don't knows when it's gonna hit you.
Thoughts?
Very interesting, it makes sense.
However assuming Margarito fights tall, do you think height will dissipate some of the "force". I say that because punching in a manner that is not leveled (upward) or in a "straight line" is not as powerful as let’s say a straight punch.
For example, if I were to push myself off the floor with my arms, I’d be more effective perpendicular to the floor kind of like a upside down "T". However if I were to push myself with my arms slightly higher than my shoulders, I'd be less effective with more energy spent and less leverage.
Cool.
Gd point, that will definately take some of the power off..although team pac may have prepared for this
Pacquiao's piston-like rapidity and frequency of punches is what would bring Margo down. A well-timed entry move:
• normally his LEAD RIGHT HOOK (nowadays)
• or his patented DOUBLE RIGHT JAB
• or his LEAD LEFT CROSS (a la' De La Hoya fight)
These entry moves opens the flood gates to his combinations. And usually his killer shots are:
• LEFT CROSS
• LEFT UPPERCUT
• LEFT HOOKERCUTS
but it is his RIGHT LEAD JABS and HOOKS to head/body that is now Pacquaio's "overlooked" weapons developed in recent fights.
Having said these, I expect Pacquiao to:
• Cut outside Margo's Left Jab (he isn't a jabber) and with throw his LEFT CROSS and RIGHT HOOKS to the body
• Cut/Weave outside Margo's Right Cross/Uppercut and throw his LEFT HOOKERCUTS to the body/head

A zombie like Oscar didn't fall,Cotto never really could take blows & with Clottey you really don't have to worry about return fire!!But Margarito is a different animal all together,tough,real pressure fighter,taller & throws a lot of punches,he also has the traits to ko Manny!!
I think Margarito maybe underestimating the power of Pacquiao. He's so quick that Marg wont even see these shots coming. Margs thinks he's going to walk right through these shots, this can be a dangerous way of thinking.
I'm sure this thread will shift to peds and test and negotiation lies somewhere along the way.
This is why the dude is accused of peds, ppl fail to see that this brawler is build for KO'in other fighters.
The angles, speed, balance, hard training (I bet ariza has PAC doing sh*t loads of isometrics/strength training to avoid bulking up too much)..not to mention he was draining himself for years, now he's up to his normal weight around welter he has his true power, whereas before he was fighting at a disadvantage..peds got nothing to do with pac
Right ... unfortunately margs doesn't think pac can hurt him ... But we'll see if he really does respect pac's power by the way he covers up on fight night!
