    Pacquiao's strength is extremely underrated

    Just look at the hatton fight.. Hatton is a strong guy, who usually tries to overpower you on the inside with his strength. But look at what happens when they're on the inside- he can't move pacquiao at all, and pacquiao is the one manhandling and pushing him.

    Same thing with mosley- who is also an exceptionally strong fighter- pac was the one making HIM go backwards on the inside.

    You can't judge him by his size at all.

      Hugton is overrated.Has the skills and techniques of a c class boxer.His idea of defense is to run into a shot and grab on when tagged hence the name Hugton.

        Not really. Everyone has that knockout of Hatton in there heads which makes them believe that Manny has all this punching power. Other then Hatton when was Manny's last KO with a punch? Manny just beats guys up with his speed and combinations. He knocks guys down because of the speed of his punches coming from different angles and catching his opponents off guard. It's not like his knocking guys out left and right. If he had all this power he should have KO'd Margarita who was open for punches all night long. But instead he just beat him up. Same with Sergio, after he KO'd Paul people were talking about his punching power like it was God. But before that he wasn't really know for his punching power.

              Strength and power aren't really ****e. Skills and techniques ( be it on defense or offense) pays the bills. Marquez already demonstrated that with a W over Pacquiao three times.

                  I always saw strength as one of Manny's main attributes. Physically he is very strong. I thought that is obvious and can't see anyone underestimating that. But strength does not = Power. Manny hits very hard but is not really a devastating one shot puncher but there is no question he is incredibly strong .

                    I think he is rightly rated. He has great strength. Its not easy at all to bully him, but the power is whatever. You will feel his punches but he's not gonna just lay you out. He's a tough little cookie for sure.
