    pacquiao power is somewhat overrated above 130 specially after the Hatton fight like the TS posted Manny gets late rounds TKO's with Ricky Hatton being the only exception

      Against Pacquiao, Hatton was still fresh ready not dazed or tired and Pacquiao caught him with a punch that took Hatton out before he hit the canvas.


      Pacquiao has a huge edge on Mayweather on power punching.
      I think style and power are 2 different things. Take JMM for example. Floyd knocked him down with a hard left, not his best punch. He didn't get KO but showed power.

      I'm not arguing he has more power than manny. I'm saying given Manny's power and what I saw in the floyd fight, we knew hatton was going sleepy.

          It's funny because it's true.

            Yeah just look at the list of people that blasted out Clottey, Cotto, Margarito and Mosley out early.

            Who is on that list?

              zombie mosley stood right in front of mayweather the entire fight and floyd couldn't budge him. he was hitting him with power shots over and over and nothing happened. he tasted a little bit of pacs power and ran his ass off the entire fight. or wait i forgot mosley in his prime when he fought mayweather and completely shot when he fought pac. mayweather couldn't even ko gatti! the corner had to stop it because gatti got hit by a thousand punches and wouldn't budge. even baldomir and gomez scored brutal ko's over gatti. if he had power and was landing all those punches he would be able to ko guys. he's joe calzaghe.

                3 out of those 4 fight went to the cards and Cotto was a 11th round TKO

                Mosley stopped Margarito and he wasn't even hitting him with as many shots as pacquiao

                  Not answering the question, who have taken out these fighters early.

                  And Cotto was 12th round TKO, but I watch boxing, so thats how I know that.

                    I won't say Pacquiao's power is overrated because he is pushing back bigger fighters, but Mayweather's power is underrated.

                      TBH Manny didn't exactly fight the Prime version of those guys exception being Clottey


                      Margarito and Mosley were there to be KO'd and so is JMM but that wont happen
