Ok, lets take a look.
Delahoya : TKO
Hatton : KO
Cotto : TKO
Clottey : scared to throw because of too much power
Margarito : Almost killed, beating to a bloody pulp
Mosley : (says he has never been hit as hard)
_________________________________________________
JMM : Barely a bruise on him
Bradley : Had 2 foot injurys, no major bruising, and not even a knockdown.
What happened to Pacquiao's power?
Floyd couldn't KO that bloated LW fighting at WW either. Not too mention NO ONE has ever KO'd JMM.
It simply has to do with the opponents he's fighting and maybe he lost some of his explosiveness recently. But besides Margarito, all of the guys he's fought haven't been KO'd in their careers (Bradley, JMM, Mosley, Clottey). Get a guy who doesn't have an iron chin and he'll stop them (Cotto, Hatton). Even so, most of these guys took some real damage (basically ended margarito's career, mosley was dropped and on queer street, etc.).
Bradley on wheelchair...lol

KO? I didn't say anything relating to a KO when referring to JMM.
It's weird that just as soon as Floyd made a big deal about boxing being loaded with steroids, Pac's power hasn't had a KO since. He couldnt even KD a 39 year old "bloated" LW fighting at WW. I say bloated because this what Pac-tards tend to call him at WW... It's really weird.
They say the last thing to go is your power. I think they need to modify that now that boxing is cracking down in steroids. The last thing to go is your power, unless your taking PEDS...
Then again, it could have just been the sh*tty opposition that was put in front of him...
Yes sir!!!When it comes to PEDs, its the exact opposite. When you stop taking PEDs, the first thing that goes is power:lol1:

Proves you dont know sh1t bout boxing. check floyd out at 130lbs.
floyd "corner stoppage" mayweather? who's lights did he put out at 130? yeah that's what i thought. corrales corner stoppage, hernandez corner stoppage, chavez corner stoppage, gerena corner stoppage, manfredy early stoppage, big punchers don't pummel their opponents till the corner stops it because their opponents are knocked out already. if you are landing all those clean punches your opponent should be knocked out but they weren't which means he had no power. you are confusing accuracy with power. common noob mistake. what's your next claim? that calzaghe was a big puncher?
if floyd mayweather who is feather fisted scored his only highlight reel ko in his entire career over ricky hatton(besides ortiz lol) what do you think pac was gonna do?

What do you mean he destroyed Mosley? A knockdown is a destruction now? Mosley got dropped because Pacquiao feinted him and then landed a hard left hand, when he started moving to Pac's right he didn't get caught again. JMM was moving from the beginning and didn't allow Pac to plant his feet and sit down on his shots. You are very ignorant.
Its not about the tactical adjustments Mosley made. Its about what happened when Pac landed CLEANLY. He dropped him, and Mosley was woozy from that punch, Pac could have stopped him if it wasnt for Mosley's survival skills.
Is that going against the rule of how "style make fights"? Granted you are right, Pac knocked him out easier.
it's showing how hatton is prone to getting viciously ko'd by 1 shot even by feather fisters. which means pac's brutal ko over him doesn't mean he is a super beast. if you look at all pac's other fights since he's moved up he's won by accumulation of punches.

Hed still whoop Floyds Asz....So what!
Well I won't debate that, we shouldn't have to debate that, I know people love this whole pact/flom thing, but lets be real. This is 2012, we should not have to say WHO would win out of Pac or May, we should have already saw who won!
Well I guess I got my answer, most people seem to state that Pacquiao never had any power to begin with, and some say he is losing speed, and some bassicaly call him out for fighting bums before.
Power is just one of the last things to go, Duran had it up until the end of his career, Tyson, even Shane Mosley, and this just to name a few.
Just weird on how Pacquiao gained so much punching power, and mysteriously loses it out of the blue.
His punch output still seems to be the same, his punches just don't seem to have that much force behind them anymore.
sven ottke ko'd mundine with 1 punch. where did ottke's power go after that?
I thought he would KO Marquez because I didn't think Marquez would look very good at welterweight, and I thought Pacquiao would look better. Obviously both those assumptions were wrong.

Well I have been getting alot of answers from you guys, and people I know that are boxing fans.
They say with JMM it was just a "mind thing" meaning that stopped him from Koing Marquez, but lets not forget about the odds..
There is a reason why everyone picked Marquez to be destroyed by Pacquiao, a reason why most people seen him getting KO'D, because we were still under the impression that he would bring in that same punching power that he did against his last few opponents...however it never showed.
