    No, I still think Cotto hits harder. Again, it's the punches you don't see coming. David Diaz, Oscar, Shawn Porter, Rasha Holloway--all these guys say Pacquiao doesn't punch hard even though Diaz and Oscar faced looked all messed up in their fights with Pacquiao.

    Pacquiao basically cuts his opponents with speed and angles. That's what I honestly believe. Not necessarily power, perse.

      he is a powerful dude. I wish people would stop denying him this.

      I don't know where you saw porter say that...the Porter comment I saw is where he says Pac has "pop in his left hand"

        punching power only matters if and when it connects. cotto has power but never landed anything solid to cause pacman any discomfort. pacman showed his time and time again, so with his accuracy and speed of his bombs, you get results like what happened on the 14th.

          Yes, but Rashad Holloway also said even though Pacquiao punches hard it's not the "thudding" blows you would see in a bigger man. Rashad Holloway said it's explosive blows more like "what just hit me" because of the sudden impact due to the angles Pacquiao punches. Don't get me wrong, pacquiao is very strong for his size but to me speed is the primary reason.

            What the F U C K do you want Pacquiao to do to prove his power? Fight and bulldoze Vitali?

                It's amazing how Pac's numbers are rising so quickly... They didn't want to believe me...

                  What the hell are you talking about I'm describing what TYPE of power Pacquiao has and it's not necessarily sheer power.

                    I tried to tell you all. I was never impressed with Miguel's power. Yes he's a hard puncher, but he's not a one punch power puncher. Manny is and he proved it against Cotto. Miguel hit Manny with everything he had. All Manny had to do was land ONE clean one on Miguel and he was down. Manny was the harder puncher.

                      If you could not see that Manny's punches were clearly harder than Miguel's, then you need to stop watching boxing.
