    Tell me who and how many he has knocked out with one punch?

    You're probably going to say David Diaz. He was beating him up the whole night. The accumulation of punches knocked Diaz out.

    Manny knocked JMM four times and couldn't knock him out. And that's why I don't consider him a one punch KO artist.

      What exactly are you trying to insinuate?

      That perhaps the power discrepancy between the two is actually not as significant as some of us are suggesting?

        If I'm wrong I'm wrong and i guess i should just stop listening to all those boxing writers and analyst who rave about manny power. Im not trying to be an ******* about this but his power is what made his career.

          No Im insinuating is that JMM is not as light of a power puncher as people are making him out to be.

          The guy has pop too!!

            No one is denying that he doesn't have good power.

            Cotto isn't a one punch KO artist either, yet he still has very good power.

            Tyson was a one punch KO artist
            Corrales was a one punch KO artist
            Valero is a one punch KO artist
            Julian Jackson was a one punch KO artist

              You can have power without being a one punch KO artist, like Manny Pacquiao. Valero is a one punch KO artist, he can knock you out with the first punch of the night.

              But Manny, nah....

                I never read that Manny had a 1 punch knockout power, and if I did I would seriously doubt the writer's eyes, since mine have never seen Manny ice ppl the way Chico used to.

                  Ok Ok I'll take your observations on manny and will digest it and research it. But I just can't let it go because so much was made of manny pop when he first broke i thought everybody saw him as a one of the few power punching featherweights back in the day.

                  Plus other than manny MAB was really one of the few fighters that ever knocked down JMM.

                    how are things going?

                    the super flyweight and super-bantam versions of MP has some serious 1 punch KO power...

                    i would suggest u watch the sasakul fight @ super-fly & the lucero fight @ super-bantam...

                      I also think Chico's chin was highly underrated. Yes, he did get knocked down several times, but as I've said, he's only been stopped cold once.

                      Mayweather knocked this kid down five times and he kept getting back up, with a clear head and ready to fight again. To me that's a mark of a great beard. I guess you could say the same for JMM, who kissed the canvas 4 times against Manny but got back up and almost won the fight.

                      If they both have tough beards, the difference, then, is power, which a prime Chico possesses over a prime JMM. Therefore, Chico KO in 3 over JMM.
