Barrera's punches were harder than Pacquiao's

[horge]

Truth.

Pac's punches do have serious pop, but it's the sheer speed
and volume at which theyre thrown, from weird angles, that really
takes out the opposition. They can't see it coming. Not all of it.

CORRECTION:
I got it all twisted.
It's Erik Morales who supposedly punches harder than Pac,
according to Barrera, who should know what he's talking about.

Apologies for my ****headed mistake


Power?
Pac's virtue in the ring can't be reduced to just that.
Power, speed and volume; accurately delivered, and in volume.
Tireless ring stamina, and obedience to his trainer's instructions.
A maniacal devotion to hard training.
Those are Pac's strong suit

The fact that his management/training team will stoop to any twisted
contract machination to secure an advantage for Manny in the ring,
is practically unnecessary. It's too often unseemly overkill.

Truth.


Erik Morales, the ONLY guy to clearly defeat an arguably-prime Pac,
rated Barrera's power superior to Manny's, and his opinion is as
solidly based on real experience as any out there, and vastly superior
to many of the windbags on this forum.

Pacquiao was not in his prime when he fought Morales.

[MANGLER]

If forced to choose which could punch you in the face hard as they could, I get the feelin most would rather have MAB do it than Pac.

[Muxibinha]

BARRERA has questionable wraps like ROACH said.

We all saw who have bigger power in first fight.

BARRERA was brawler for 20 years and when he fought PACQUIAO in rematch he ran and ran and ran.

[JACK D. RIPPER]

Makes sense.

Packy does punch like an amateur.

Take away his speed and he's just another journeyman.

I'd rather have Pac so he can sign the bump on my face.

[BOLLOCKS]

Pac's power is great combined with his speed.

Roach is full of ****. There's no doubt that he didn't have anything wrong with his wraps in the Pac rematch, and he didn't get dropped or stopped, and I didn't see Pac walking threw Barrera's punches like they were nothing. Also he was still mad because Barrera beat Tapia with ease. If it were true about his wraps. Him and Tapia wouldn't be friends. Which they are.

Roach was being a little ***** trying to get into Barrera's head.

Pacquiao was not in his prime when he fought Morales.

Insofar as power is concerned (the main point of contention), Id say he was.
But overall, you're right. Pac today is so vastly improved over
his level when he fought Morales that it's not even funny.
Pac's a fucking beast.

Apologies to mis amigos Boriqueños, but your boy Miguel is
getting a real big, bold "L" on his record this November.
