Was roach correct? "Ruslan harder puncher than Pacman"

[piojo del norte]

This is probably the right answer. The Russian probably has the harder home run hitter but Manny is fast with stinging power.

The punishment Pacman doles out is from those combinations he lands, the angles and the speed of delivery.
Ruslan's probably got heavier hands

i don't think we need to talk about it more than this ^ . bradley had an extra few lbs tonight, too.

bradley took pacquiao's shots better. they stopped him in his tracks, but he wasn't visibly hurt. provodnikov had bradley reeling with every big shot.

manny is the better p4p puncher given that he's the smaller guy, and he's also got 10 X the handspeed, but provodnikov has a bigger sunday punch at welterweight, as clearly evidenced by the huge gap in the amount of damage they did to tim bradley.

Maybe he has heavier hands, but Pac has those explosive knock out shots.

Exactly! Ruslan has that thudding,bruising concussive power...Manny has that explosive power.

Yes, Pacman couldn't even hurt Bradley like Ruslan did, also Pacman couldn't drop Marquez after hitting him flush over and over in the 3rd and 4th fights.

The reason people think Pacman is a hard hitter is because of Mayweather family claiming he was on steroids their fear made people start believing damn this little guy must be a real beast, when the truth is his punching power dropped when he went up in weight, he just happen to be faster than the bigger guys and would light them up with combos.

Pacquiao cannot bust a grape.

Ruslan has real power.

I think Pacquiao can hit. His power might have diminished now since he is older but Mosley and Margarito said he can hit.

Pacman dropped mosley like a sack of potatoes something canelo couldn't do.

Speed makes all the difference.

If you look at that punch it was a perfectly landed punch with Mosley feet off place, and Mosley was exaggerated because he went into that fight scared believing the Mayweather family about Pacman being a beast, so already being scared you will overreact on the power.

Margarito never said Pacman can hit, in the corner between rounds he said to Garcia he has no power or his punches is nothing.

Well Pacman didn't ever hurt Bradley. Almost every punch Ruslan landed hurt Bradley.

This

They should make Ruslan vs Pac that would be great or Ruslan vs JMM or any other top Welterweight at that!

[Manboyeatme]

Can't compare the amount of damage that was dealt because of the way Tim was fighting.

[piojo del norte]

I was thinking that too. It seemed Mosley was scared and that might have played into his opinion on Manny's power. Margarito said that because it's a macho thing but when interviewed months after the fight he said otherwise.
