yet pacquaio dropped cotto, hatton, marquez all fighters somewhat primed and in their best weight class

Who has dropped De La Hoya from a punch on the chin?

DLH had one of the best chins in boxing AND he's a Middle weight.

No surprise here.

DLH's been knocked down only once, and that was from a big Hopkins hook to the liver. DLH was focusing too much on not getting knocked out in the Pacquiao fight, which makes the punishment he received very impressive.

You mean taking a big cash payment to his account and taking a dive.

Oscar has one of the best chins of all time.

Oscar was down a few times during his career (e.g. against Ike). He has a very solid chin.

Simple answer...Pacquiao was in unfamilar waters going up 2 weight classes. Pac is more comforatable now and is taking more chances. Against DLH, pac was so catious and wasn't putting alot of power behind his punches. Im not saying he stop DLH, but their was a clear difference between the punches he was throwing against hatton and cotto vs the ones against DLH.
