Pacquaio's Power

[Fox McCloud]

Whenever he knocks someone down, they seem to fly back a few feet.

But it really never seems like they are lights out hurt either.

I do think that he has lost some of the clubbing power that he had in the lower weight classes, but it has been replaced by power that is generated by how fast he is.

Everyone talked about how iron of a chin Erik Morales had. You could definately make the case that the knockdowns in the rematch were from pure exhaustion, which was actually said on the air.

In the rubber match, Morales got knocked down three times, and every time he fell back a few feet, but he was always conscious of where he was and what he was doing. I think he quit, not because he was seriously hurt, but because he knew he couldn't deal with the speed, especially in his starved body.

Does anyone else agree, or do people still believe he has clubbing one-punch power?

Also in his first fight with Barrera. MAB got beat up but was never Chicken dance hurt.

I never really considered him as a one-punch knock out artist especially when he moved up to 126. The only solid knock down he scored was against Barrera in the 3rd round of the first fight. Other than that, he'll rely on his volume punching, kinda like Juan Diaz, but with more power.

He hits plenty hard, but it is the speed more than the power. You could see when JMM fought him that it was the speed he wasn't prepared for in the first round

There are plenty of fighters who hit as hard as Pacquiao in their weight class... it is the speed that sets Pacquaio apart though.

I notce this too at 122 pacman was devastating his power but as he move up he still knocked guys down but not like how he beat on guys at 122.

I think pacman wobbled hector velasquez with a counter right hook before he unloaded on him.

but I too have yet to see pacman wobble a guy and get him dancing with noodle legs.

What is strange too is he can send guys flying like jmm and morales but they get back up I too am baffled by this those guys flew back far from pacmans force but yet they got up? maybe its cause its a straight punch if he had power in his hooks maybe they would wobble?

[Pugilistic™]

he beats fighters on acummulation, great speed and good power

Not to highjack this thread but any comments on Pacquiao's chin?
From his record, he was kayo'ed in the 3rd round years ago. Anyone know how that KO went about (cut?, early stoppage?, etc)

I don't know if this is the one you are talking about, but...

I have seen a video of one of the two early career KO's of Pacquiao's (both of his early losses were by some sort of KO).

It was a low blow, and it wasn't seen by the referee, so he was counted out.

[The Next Champ]

Well one explanation is maybe Pac is hitting those guys on the nerve n their jaw that makes you get Judah legs
