Im not sure if they made a thread on this already because I just checked right now but do you think the weight affected Pacmans KO power? Was it a factor?

Not power but speed. He looked slower and heavy. He got tired quick as well. But again if your looking for Pac fans to make excuses, I'm not giving you one. EM was the better man that night and showed why he was a force to wreckon with.Comment

Morales has a great chin AND power when moving up in weight is sometimes relative to the opponent's ability to take the punches...meaning that Morales is accustomed to taking 130lb power...so Pacs major 126lb power may still be there...but Morales just may be used to it...and again he has a great chin...Comment

well pacs speed was his powerOriginally posted by m00ksNot power but speed. He looked slower and heavy. He got tired quick as well. But again if your looking for Pac fans to make excuses, I'm not giving you one. EM was the better man that night and showed why he was a force to wreckon with.
i dont think he hits that hard
when he hit mab and jmm it was just hard shots
but they dropped them cuz of the blinding speed
but he didnt have speed now
so his hit was easily absordedComment

pac was only 3 pounds heavier than at 126 against it was either barrera or marquez (136 i believe he weighed) he weighed 139 for Morales.
Also he got the wind nocked out of him by Morales i think thats one of the reasons he looked winded in the beginning. You see Morales making him miss and coming in with hooks to Pacquiaos mid section.Comment

I think Morale's aggression coupled with the fact that he's naturally bigger and physically more imposing had more to do than power. Pac is a helluva puncher but it jus doesn't hav the same effect against a iron willed man like Erik who also happens to be stronger. I think the long haul and Pac's inability to detonate Morales wore on Manny's will jus b/c Morales weight is more functional where Manny's weight is jus put on to fight at a higher division.Comment

Nah I think his power was there otherwise he wouldn't have hurt Erik in the first with the body shot and stun him a couple of times.Originally posted by abdiel2k3well pacs speed was his power
