Pac's power overrated; Mayweather's underrated?

I agree that Pac hits harder then Mayweather but not by much! Almost all Pacs wins at welterweight or either decision or late round technical stoppages. May has a 60 % ko ratio compared to Pacs 68%. Not muchComment

We are talking about a natural LW who is dominating much bigger men than himself and making them run most often.Comment

I don't think we would ever know how much power Floyd truly has, cuz his strategy isn't to batter his opponent senseless, it's to out-box and make them look foolish.Comment

Shame how a thread starts off pretty good then gets taken over by Pac Stans and *****'s, almost makes you dislike Pac and Mayweather because of how ******ed some of their fans are.
Pac's power is exceptional for someone his size, Mayweather's is underrated. Mayweather doesnt really put his all into his punches probably due to the hand problems he experienced earlier in his career.Comment

Been away from this thread, so here we go. Pac still haven't knocked out a welteweight. A case can be made for Mayweather regardless of how you see it; he fought Hatton at 147. Cotto and Hatton, when faced Pac, were below 147.... agreed? Delahoya was stopped but not KO.
I never said Pac doesn't have power, but the fact is, he's being made out to look like a monster puncher when it's the accumulation of power-punches and surprise factor from the speed in his punches that mostly caught his opponents off-guard and stun them. Again, Mosley, Tito and even Hoya was KOing guys at welter and above, so how is Pac a bigger puncher than those guys?
I have seen Mayweather busted up Judah, buckled a 154 Oscar, swollen Mosley's face with his pillows, and remembering him at the lower weights stopping guys cold, but he never carry all his power to welterweight, but enough to keep you honest and if careless you might get stopped. Again, i am not saying he has equal power as Manny, what i am saying is that each fighter on his own merit, not in a relative sense, is being underrated/overrated.
The Manny's punch that Floored Mosley, he never saw that coming. I, for one, as a spectator, watching the fight didn't even see the punch, then how the hell Mosley would have seen it? I had to press rewind in slow-mo to catch the punch..lol.Last edited by megas30; 08-20-2011, 01:43 AM.Comment
