            oscar and hatton are both pretty weak opponents, and also floyd's leftovers, compared to floyd and pac so throw them out the window.

            all you got is cotto.

            and that cotto was marg ravaged.

            so a freshly defeated cotto.

              People think just because Mosley couldn't drop Mayweather and Mosley is suppose to have more power, that Manny can't. SO what happened during Mosley-Cotto? Mosley landed tons of bombs on Cotto yet Cotto never went down. Pac dropped Cotto twice and almost a couple more times until the stoppage. WHY? Because the speed...the angles. Cotto couldn't see the knockdown punches. Had no clue where they came from and got caught clean. Same can happen to Fraud. Pac's power isn't overrated, I just don't think it was ever rated super high to begin with. He's always been an accumulation of punishment type of fighter. I never really saw him as a 1 punch puncher.

                Now people talk about if was Pacman that had hurt Floyd it would have been a wrap.

                Manny knocked Marquez down three times in one round and couldn't stop him.
                He dropped him in the second fight and hurt him bad in the 10th round of that fight and couldn't stop him.

                It's just a question because people act like it's an easy feat to knockout Floyd and if Manny is supposed to be the one doing it he sure couldn't do it to Marquez who was wait more hurt than Floyd was against Shane.
                pac isn't a power puncher. never has been. he is just too fast, throws too many punches and uses his southpaw angles.

                    Pacquiao's power is overrated in the sense that he can knock someone out with one big hayemaker, like the know-nothings think. Alot of tards bring up the Hatton fight, but didn't a suspected featherfist knock him out too?

                    Pacquiao has power but it isn't like Arthur Abraham type power. One shot and good night. He has an even amount of power and throws a 100 punch barrage in order to finish opponents.


                    His finishing skills aren't really overrated. He can finish but again, not in the sense of Arthur Abraham, Mike Tyson or some ****. He is more like Margarito, a finisher but in the sense that he will grind opponents down with high output. Although Pacquiao has helluva lot more speed to work with.

                      and Cotto was done after 8 rds
                      Pac didn't stop him because he felt sorry for him
                      you could see how disgusted he was with the running away
                      Pac didn't even want to punch him anymore
                      It wasn't disgust it was frustration. And his finishing skills are overrated, if he is as good as people say he is, he should have been able to cut the ring off rather than throw a tantrum over Cotto backing off.

                      Also what do you mean he didn't want to punch him any more? It's kinda obvious that he wanted to put him on his back as he was still trying to **** him up in the 12th when he could have simply carried him.
