The original poster doesn't state all the facts about Pac at welterweight.
He's fought 3 times at welter. Oscar, Cotto and Clottey.
The two stoppages (Oscar and Cotto) were from an accumulation of punches, not one punch ko power. And both opponents had to drain a lot of weight to get down.
Pac never even came close to KO'ing Clottey, the much bigger guy.
He did KO Hatton at 140 but at the time he was more comfortable at 140 and with Hatton lunging in like that he was bound to get floored. It was more of a style thing than anything.
As far as I know Pac's walking around at about 145 or 150, something not a lot of fighters do. He's not drained at the weight. I think it has more to do with his awkwardness and speed than anything else.
He really only had one war with Morales, the first one. He dominated the other two fights.
JMM seems to have the style to bother Pac. With every fighter no matter how good they are there's always someone who seems to have their number or close to it. It seems like JMM is this to Pac.
And some will argue that Pac was draining to make weight in the fights he had below 135.
Is that to say he isn't using something? Nobody can say for sure. But you can say that about any fighter. Nobody truly knows. Unless he gets caught doing something, which he hasn't.
