    let me ask you, dont you get stronger as you get older? especially for a professional athlete such as a boxer?

    Im 28, & im a lot stronger now than i was when i was in my early 20s. Its not as if pac is 40 years old & knocking cats out. He's in his early 30s & it has a lot to do with his improving technique, strategy, experience, & overall craft.

    So once again, by my last count, the only cold ****ed KO scored by pacquiao since moving up is 140 vs hatton & i have already explained that.
    i wonder why every other fighters besides Pac seems to lose some of their power as they move up in weight divisions... must be something wrong with them. maybe it's because they didn't have Ariza to make them protein shakes?

          Young Stribling.

          started as a featherweight ended up as a heavyweight. scored lots of kos as he moved up higher in weight as a middleweight, & lightheavyweight.

          as he got older his body matured. his body got stronger, his experience, technique, & he eventually became a better fighter.


          this is not that difficult to comprehend.

            ok so it happens once every 100 years? cool

            It's so lame that *****'s think Pac is on something when a guy did the same thing as him 100 years ago!! they hate the fact that a little filipino is the best boxer!!!! (LOL)

              What are you talking about?

              Pac has been knocking people out from day 1.....

              He put Marquez down 3 times in 1 round AT marquez's best weight...floyd put him down once at 147 when he was 2 divisions above a division he just had moved up to....

              All pac has done, is work on his boxing skills...hes now actually got a right hand.... so hes now got 2 deadly weapons instead of 1.....

              Thats where the "power" has come from

                I wonder when Floyd's going to get around to answering this question.

                    no it doesnt take 100 years. there's been countless fighters that have moved up in weight & their power increased. ive already listed lots of examples already.

                    some fighters are weight drained by staying in a division too low & by moving up in their proper weight feel much better & much stronger.

                    some fighters were pre-pubescent when they started boxing professionally. Pac is one example. He was dirt poor when he started fighting professionally & as he got older his body matured, as he kept winning he got money in his pocket & got proper nutrition & a proper trainer. Freddie roach explained this already. Pac was so poor back then that he wasnt eating properly because he simply could not afford it. Now that pac has money he's been able to eat right & his frame is being properly filled.

                    Dingaan thobela is another fighter who went up in weight. started as a featherweight ended up fighting as a lightheavyweight & scored knock outs along the way.
