Pac's power overrated; Mayweather's underrated?

[D4thincarnation]

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

And who has blasted them out early since Pacquiao fought them?

If you asked these fighters who do you think they will say who has hit them the hardest?

So no one had done it before or since, but lets say Pacquiao lacks power because he didn't do this.

Maybe Hagler lacked power because he didn't KO Leonard early.


Anyone that has a clue about boxing knows Pacquiao is huge puncher p4p and Mayweather's power at welter is average.

poor floyd...always being underrated...floyd's the greatest of all time

I think Mayweather has average power. Pac has decent power, but it's his workrate and handspeed that get him his KOs more-so than his punching power IMO.

[Pacdbest]

Who has Pac knocked out at Welterweight? Shane, Tito and Oscar used to knocked ppl out cold at welterweight. Tko is not sufficient to justified power, because any ref will stop a fight if one fighter is getting hit to frequently with less retaliation. Both Floyd and Pac have pop and will certainly do harm, but why one is being overrated for power and the other underrated?


Manny may have more kds at WW, but if is power was so devastating why aren't he able to finished those said opponents when he continues to hit them repeatedly?

LOok at Pac's welter opponents face after the fight! DLH's looks like an elephant Man! Hatton looks Dead! Cotto looks like came from the grinder! Margarito looks like the Phantom of the Opera! Mosley's face the worst I've ever seen! You dont call that Power?

Why is it all or nothing with these *******s. yes pac has heavy hands, he can catch you with a solid shot from strange angles and leave you dazed. He's not the hardest one shot hitter in the game(not even at ww), his damage comes from volume at this stage, and his output is incredible.

It's not an insult, it's just a fact.

I think Floyd's power is generally rated how it should be, his timing and accuracy are what take their toll on fighters. Getting popped in the grill at all the wrong times isn't pleasant.

Pacquaio's power is only overrated by the idiots on here that actually believe Pac has 1 punch KO power in both hands and can leap over tall buildings in a single bound. Everyone else pretty much recognizes that it is the volume of power shots that he lands that are actually his power as opposed to punching power.

but speed really adds to pac's power...

a speeding vehicle's impact, say at 75mph compared to 45mph..not the same..

[Mr Randy Watson]

Pac doesn't have one-punch KO power at 147, he damage is done with volume.

Mayweather doesn't have it either, he get's to people with accurate shots & perfect timing that if you don't see coming will do damage and take it's toll over time.

Their power is closer then some would like to admit, the major difference is that Pac throws a lot more punches.
