does pac hit harder than clottey?

[Alibata]

in general i think pac puts more on his punches than clottey, but i think if he wanted to, clottey could hit harder, but he don't fight in a style of hitting for power most of the time..

If he tried to hit harder in an actual fight he will be slower, less coordinated, less accurate, etc. His punches are made for his way of fighting. Manny puts everything into a punch but has become more controlled but still throws his punches with a lot of heat with no recoil so he can throw harder punches faster without the consequences of loading up on every punch.

no I think Clottey is the harder hitter. I think the Clottey fight was a good preparation fight for Manny though, Clottey was a fighter who is fast handed, fast feet and on you all night. Cotto needed to know that against a tough SOB like Clottey he could take his best, deal with the cut and still walk away the victor. Big boost for his confidence going into this.
