So, does Pacquiao hit hard or not in the higher divisions ?

[peyk-peyk]

Hard enough to scared the Mayweathers and call eachother ***g0t.

LMAO...


It's true tho'

STFU TS, didn't you hear/read what Floyd said? Pac has been knocking out his opponents since he moved to welter, now can you imagine Floyd going up to Heavyweights knocking out the Klitschkos, Arreola, Haye, Adamek??? Well?? That's how BEASTLY Pac has become!!!!! That's fucking su****ious if you ask me!!!!

any weight class at about middle weight and above have a pretty big gap of weight between them, but most weight classes between 105 to 154 are close and pac is fast with stamina he doesn't knock everyone out, mayweather is fast with stamina also he's just more defensive so he's hating

[Rapid Counter]

Carrying your natural power up so many weights and not slowing down is su****ious in itself but pac is not carrying his power up he is actually becoming more powerful and not losing speed. How alarm bells are not ringing for some people baffles me. Shane said he has never felt power like that, even grazing shots hurt him he said and that's coming from a guy who I believe has has fought some big punchers at 154.

[IMDAZED]

What he did to Cotto was enough to convince me.

[Tomislav III]

Clearly Pacquiao's power isn't the same at 147 as it was at the lower divisions, but that's as much about size as anything.


Still, his speed is enough to compensate and it would help him hurt fighters in otherwise. Fast hands make cuts over opponents faces, so though Pacquiao might not have the hammer, he definitely has the clever.

[Pugilistic™]

Pacquiao does hit hard at 147 but it's his speed that is really catching his opponents off guard.

He was able to drop Cotto twice, have him running the whole second half of the fight, turn his face to a swollen bloody mess and eventually stop him in the 12th.

He was able to drop Mosley and have him retreating the whole fight.

He made Clottey cover up even more than normal and throw very few punches per round.

He was able to hurt Margarito to the body ( 4th round) and head ( 11th
round i think) and was able to turn his face to a swollen bloody mess also.

All of the above fighters are known for their durability except Cotto yet Pacquiao was able to drop, hurt, turn their face into a mess or have them retreating all night.

I think that cements the fact that behind his hand speed is some strong punches.

[SplitSecond]

he has the power to hurt anybody at WW

and at 140 he's got bonafide one punch power. ricky hatton will tell you that.

we haven't seen that at WW yet, but he broke antonio margaritos face and hurt him to the head and body. that fight should have been stopped

dropped cotto and wrecked his face

busted oscar up and almost dropped him to the body (in his first fight at WW when he was a much smaller guy)

what round was this?
and when did he wobble joshua?

with maragrito it was inevitable, that sorta sht is gonna happen when you block with your face against a speed demon that doesn't stop punching
