    Pac's power hasn't really increased though, other than Hatton he doesn't get the massive one punch KOs anymore, which he used to at the lower weights. Most his KOs are stoppages because of the ridiculous number of punches he lands.

      According to Freddie Roach he's hitting even harder now compared to 2 years ago.

            I didn't want to believe either, and I was like "yeah right" when he said he had the puncher against Cotto, but it's not just Roach, a sparmate has even cosigned Manny's power compared to a big welter.

              Again, that doesn't prove anything.

                he wasn't as devastating at heavy as he was at 175 but he still packed a punch at heavy.

                  He could be hitting harder cuz he is in a more natural weight-class.

                  Jimmy McClarning was going to distance with small fighters like Pancho Villa and also with a lot of journeyman. He was a teenager around the flyweight division.

                  As soon as he got to WW he KO'd Benny Leonard who it top 10 P4P all time, he stopped him 6rds. And, he also KO'd Young Corbett III in 1 rounds. And, this was a WW after he was going the distance in the smaller divisions. It all had to do with not draining yourself and fighting at a more natural weight. Is not like all of sudden he has this crazy power out of nowhere. He always had it. He just not weakening himself anymore.

                    I never suggested Manny had crazy power all of a sudden, look at my other posts in this thread. It's just a fact that his power has increased as he's been moving up in class. I recalled comments made about his power over the last 2 years from the pros and he is hitting harder when you compare testimony to results.
