    Do Mannys fights over 130 prove that speed is what hurts you?

    Cause he was ko'd dropped and hurt at lower weights,but against the bigger fighters he can take the punches better because they are slower and he can see them coming?

          he fought greats at the lower weights


          at higher weights he fought some very good fighters, but many were beyond their best days.

          pacquiao is a very strong guy for his size. his punches are heavy and they have power. their impact comes from more than just speed and angles that allow the punches to go unseen. he's got very explosive legs, and his bones in his hands and arm are sturdy and quite robust for a man of his size.

              this makes sense...last time pac got legitimately knocked down was back at 122 ..at 130 his fight night weight was close to 140-144. throwing a punch fast doesn't necessarily mean there's more power behind it.
