What happened to Pacquiao's punching power?

[IMDAZED]

I think Margarito took something out of him.

Margarito was a walking dead man and still wouldn't go down. Pacquiao always seemed to enjoy destroying dudes, but with margarito it was like.. wow.. I have to literally kill this guy to take him down and I don't want to do that.

Ever since then he hasn't pushed as hard as he used to. Or taken the fight as deep as he used to.

I'm speechless. Now the reason is because he lost his hunger after he had to settle for a decision. I guess that's never happened to him before. A lot. It just ****** his will and power away, huh?

Its plain and simple...Floyd will never get in the ring with Manny as long as he is destroying guys like he always does...so he has to look like hes not himself or getting soft...to lure Floyd in to a fight...Then he will unleash the beast!!!! I promise you this....

Mosley KOed a much better version of Margarito ,,,,, truth is Pac never had devastating power and its hard to KO bigger guys with little gloves but they are great to beat you up , 10oz is more concussive than 8oz and thats why Roach wanted 8s they knew they are not going to KO Margo , 26 ft ring wouldnt be for hit and run would it , the matchmaking is made to order and Mannys WW fights ALL are , the more you know about the sport the more you can see through the beautiful management of Manny at WW , like Roach said when Manny asked him to train him , lets make some money , his words !

Well I have been getting alot of answers from you guys, and people I know that are boxing fans.

They say with JMM it was just a "mind thing" meaning that stopped him from Koing Marquez, but lets not forget about the odds..

There is a reason why everyone picked Marquez to be destroyed by Pacquiao, a reason why most people seen him getting KO'D, because we were still under the impression that he would bring in that same punching power that he did against his last few opponents...however it never showed.

I thought he would KO Marquez because I didn't think Marquez would look very good at welterweight, and I thought Pacquiao would look better. Obviously both those assumptions were wrong.

Power is just one of the last things to go, Duran had it up until the end of his career, Tyson, even Shane Mosley, and this just to name a few.

Just weird on how Pacquiao gained so much punching power, and mysteriously loses it out of the blue.

His punch output still seems to be the same, his punches just don't seem to have that much force behind them anymore.

When did Pac become a KO artist?

[Hougigo]

Pacquiao gets his power from his speed.... his speed is going away... ergo so is his power

Well I guess I got my answer, most people seem to state that Pacquiao never had any power to begin with, and some say he is losing speed, and some bassicaly call him out for fighting bums before.
