Evidence is watching them punch and what they do to their opponents. Pac managed to KO a poor champ who took an absolute flush shot while putting his head down on the point of the chin. Give Mayweather the same setup and it ends the same way. The big 1-shot KO's are almost always about right place right time, not power.

i think we're getting a bit confused with punch effectiveness and punch power.
floyd has excellent punching effectiveness and he depends on clean , crisp shots for his ko's.
manny on the other is a go forward type fighter that throws everything on his punches. he puts his shoulder on most of his punches and he tries to punch through his oppenent.
not to say that floyd doesn't have physical tools to do the same it's just his style is more based on punching to make contact not punching through his opponent.Comment

This is what I'm talking about....and one of my favorite knock outs. Brock isn't exactly a monster puncher in the HW division but he still delivered a devastating knockout.Comment

that's how you can tell if someone has power or not is in their ko's.Evidence is watching them punch and what they do to their opponents. Pac managed to KO a poor champ who took an absolute flush shot while putting his head down on the point of the chin. Give Mayweather the same setup and it ends the same way. The big 1-shot KO's are almost always about right place right time, not power.
if they have ko's that don't land flush then they have power. some guys have ko power from glancing blows or top of the head blows.
obviously most professionals can ko most people with a flush , perfect chin shot.Comment

Joe, this isn't even a fight lol. Those who can't stand Mayweather have a complex because you don't even know him, or how he is in real life. That is a phony outlook on a man you don't know saying you don't like him because of what you see on television. "I can't stand him, I don't like him"..lol so phony. Anyway, this isn't even a fight. We are talking about Floyd at his best weight. Pac's best weight was probably 122 or 126. If he tried that 130 mess with a prime floyd...the Floyd who beat up Chico? Remember when Tommy Hearns fought Martin? That is how the fight would go. Pac wouldn't be fighting a warrior who had one too many wars. Floyd was a terror at 130. Floyd by ko in round 2.Now that we have seen the completed careers of both Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather at 130, who was better and who would have won this match? There has been a lot of comparing these two.So how do they match up here when you compare them at 130 in terms of career and head to head in the ring? who was more dominant?Comment

make excuses all u like it happened and Diaz was a World Champ and Pac was /is a natural flyweightEvidence is watching them punch and what they do to their opponents.

Floyd has probably never done this to the journeyman on the way up let alone a World Champ and he has certainly not done it to a World Champ who is how much bigger than him naturallyComment

I suppose my obvious reply would be:make excuses all u like it happened and Diaz was a World Champ and Pac was /is a natural flyweight

Floyd doesn't fight too many bum world champs apparently. At weights above 130 look at his resume and tell me what world champs he fought he was supposed to KO.Last edited by Dirt E Gomez; 07-09-2008, 08:33 PM.Comment
