Pac hasn't shown any of his power since he destroyed Miguel Cotto in 2009.
(Pac's power was on full display when he dropped Mosley in 2011 and lost to JMM in 2012, but for some reason, the power he showed in those fights don't count)
Against Algieri, Pacquiao exhibited the kind of power that has been absolutely non-existent since he fought Hatton and Cotto in 2009. But suddenly in 2014, his power returns at frightening levels.
Does anybody know what the drug testing protocol was for the Algieri fight?
All this Pacquiao power talk is uneducated BS!
Pacquiao never had FRIGHTENING power past 130lbs. Heck, even at 130lbs his power was beating up his opponents into submission.
Yeah, so he KO'd Hatton pretty good with a perfect shot and Hatton has been rocked by many fighters so it's not like his chin was iron.
Minus the Hatton KO, he's gotten some knockdowns against fighters when he went over 140lbs, but no true KOs.
It's overrated talk and it's annoying to hear it. What should be commended rather is that despite his DECREASE in power, he still can manage to get the W against his exceptionally larger opponents he's been facing.
I think Pac has always had enough power to keep fighters respectful of him, but he hasn't had TRUE 1 punch KO power ever since about 122lbs. He's just very heavy handed and fighters feel that a long with punches they don't know where they are coming from which cause more damage and effect since you can't predict them.
If Pacquiao does ever move down to 140lbs or can manage 135lbs, I think yes, his power would be greater because of his heavy hands and speed, but Pac is a volume puncher with heavy hands, and that does most of damage accumulative.
Some how, just about every one forgets this and assume Pacquiao has 1 punch KO steroid up the a$$, godzilla powa. Wrong, wrong, wrong. You've all been wrong, lol.
i agree with this. people like to exaggerate manny's power making him out to be some 1 punch ko artist. even manny's earlier ko's it was never 1 shot like with hatton. most of the guys manny put down was never out cold like hatton. pac's power come from his speed and weird angle.

shows you how tough guys like Rios and Bradley are for not getting decked. Bradley even rocked Pac with a right hand despite people always criticizing him for being "featherfisted" while Pac walked right through Algieri's best right hand lead.
This is just stupid..HE WAS FIGHTING FVCKING ALGERI..........Manny is an ATG why would he need steriods to bounce Algeri off of the canvas??? props to Algeri for showing balls and getting up..and props to the ref for not stopping it in the 9th cause he would have been justified
Should have been stopped after the 9th IMO.

Marquez asked for testing? Lolz....I was unaware of this.
Yes he did. Manny wanted testing. JMM suggested both he and manny take VADA testing and Manny said never mind on any testing at all. I thought you were just being sarcastic.
Refused to use? I'm pretty sure Marquez didn't ask him to do VADA testing
My thought JMM asked for VADA testing. what testing did he ask for? USADA? MADA?
