Who punches harder at Welterweight?

[Telepath]

Mosley no question.

If Cotto had taken the volume of punches from Mosley that he took from Pac, the fight would've been over inside four rounds. Hell, Miguel would probably not have survived the round after the first knockdown.

I really don't know at this point...

Conventional wisdom would say Shane, but Pacquiao has shown that he can take out larger men.

I honestly think Pac would stop Margarito too.

Definitely Mosley. If you ask any of Pacquiao's dominated opponents (besides the Hugman because he's delusional), they won't say his strength was the problem. They'll say his fast combinations from different angles is what threw them off. I've heard this from David Diaz, De La Hoya and Cotto.

ppl get confused about the "power" thing.


i think mosley has more power and is stronger, but pacquiao possesses "quickness" that many ppl don't see his punches coming. anybody will tell you that the punches you don't see are just as dangerous, and do damage just as much, if not more, than heavy-handed punches.

Good post, and that is why I consider Pacquaio a more dangerous puncher.

Pacquiao or Mosley?

Pacquiao has stopped Oscar and Cotto at Welterweight

Mosley has KO'd Margarito and Mayorga at Welterweight

Opinions?

Actually,Oscar just quit & the Cotto stoppage was bull****!!

Pacman has decent power, but its his speed and accuracy that really allows him to be as effective as he is this high up in weight. Mosley is clearly the bigger puncher of the two, whatever weight class you want to compare them at.

Mosley no question.

If Cotto had taken the volume of punches from Mosley that he took from Pac, the fight would've been over inside four rounds. Hell, Miguel would probably not have survived the round after the first knockdown.

I think Mosley is a different fighter with ****m Richardson in his corner now, and Cotto wasn't the same fighter after the beating he took against Tony, In the later rounds of Cotto-Clottey Cotto was backing up and I was worried because I thought Clottey had a chance to stop him.

I disagree, Cotto took a lot of punishment.

you would have to ask m cotto and oscar who punches harder because although shane mosley is obviously stronger and bigger that doesnt necessarily mean he has the more devastating punch.

[Tsukiyomi]

Mosley has knocked out bigger fighters like Mayorga and Vargas with one punch. He was also the first fighter to seriously hurt Margarito. I really don't think it's hard choice when you compare them head to head.

I'm pretty sure I'd seen Margarito hurt before, at least once. Mosley breaks guys down, he doesn't score devastating single shots against top guys.
