    When you move up in weight you lose power?!

    i've always thought you gain it or at least carry it. correct me if im wrong, but the heavier, the harder, right?

    You don't lose it as such, it just may not be able to hurt the bigger guys as much as it did the smaller ones.

      Yeah but not relative to the opponents you're facing.

        Its all depends on your body type and how your body reacts to it.

        So people lose, speed and power others gains. Its all depends

          Not if you're an extraordinary fighter like Pacquiao, only if you're a ordinary fighter like Mayweather.

            Nah...i dont think so...you might get a little slower but mainly you might get stronger i dont know...its when you move down weight is when you lose muscle.

              No.. but the guys your hitting will be naturally bigger thus being more durable.

                  Not even on a thread like this we can get away of Pac/Floyd soap opera

                    Usually yes. But it depends mostly to genetics or the way your body takes it, also when you move up in weight you won't be able to hurt fighters who are used to the weight or are just bigger than you. But some fighters just carry the power like Tommy Hearns, DLH, Pac.
