Pacquiao's Punching Power in the Featherweight Divisions

[miron_lang]

it's the speed.

flyweights and featherweights had problems coping with his speed (especially coming at you from a southpaw stance)

imagine how much a nightmare it is for a welterweight.

pacquiao moved up in weight right.

he didn't add much weight. he just doesn't cut much weight which improves his stamina and power.

I remember in 2003 or maybe 2004 i said in a Forum. "Pacquiao punches like a LIGHTWEIGHT" everybody jumps at me with nuthuggery accusations.


WTF!!?? now i realize im really wrong!

The greatest band that produced the greatest music to ever grace a frequency at the human brain is capable of hearing.

post an example please.

the only music i know is rap from the 90's , oldies you sing at karaoke bars and music chicks listen to in the car.

Right, he has definitely retained a lot of his speed moving up in weight, his angles are very very awkward too, as you said he's a southpaw so that makes his angles awkward to orthodox fighters by itself but he punches from awkward angles for a southpaw as well. If you notice his recent opponents' reactions after the fight you'll hear them say they just don't know where those punches come from, as they say, the ones you don't see hurt the most.

we need to put donaire , bernabe , viloria , penalosa , mayol and sonsana on the same roids as pacquiao.

if pacquiao is using and not sharing with his filipino brothers , i'd be very upset at him.

Yes your memory is failing you.


You said Pac had decisions with 3 fighters. And he was able to KD them so TKO11 barrera doesnt count. Total of 6 for the 3 fighters he didnt stopped.

Barrera was dropped 3 times in the 1st fight Rounds 3, 6 and 11. Round 6 was rules a slip by one of the GREATEST TEXAN Referee of ALL TIME!! and at the same fight a slip by pac was ruled a KD

dammit.

be back in 15 minutes. i'm gonna go look up barrera-pac 1.

i thought he dropped barrera twice in the 1st fight.

one the referee ruled a slip and another one the ref ruled legit.

i thought there was 3 knockdowns in that fight.

1 pacquiao (slip but called legit) , 2 barrera (1 ruled a slip but legit , 1 legit)



be right back.

no i'm counting all their knockdowns against pacquiao not just in the 3 fights that pacquiao won by decision.

if just counting by the 3 fights pacquiao won by decision then only 3 knockdowns.

larios - 2
marquez 2 - 1
barrera 2 - 0

the 3 knockdowns in marquez 1 wouldn't count because pacquiao didn't win it was a draw.

kobe is the best player ever at taking bad shots with the clock running down.

jordan might have been more clutch in the last moments but to jack up a desperation wild shot , no one is better than kobe.
