    How hard does Erik Morales hit? Pacquiao said he was the hardest puncher

    I remember reading somewhere that Manny Pacquiao said the hardest puncher he ever fought was Erik Morales, this was even after he fought Miguel Cotto.

    I noticed that an old grand pa body Morales beat up Cano worse than Mosley did and was able to hurt Danny Garcia in their first fight and even hurt Maidana a few times, and this is a bloated past prime Morales fighting in the 140 division.

    Pacquiao claimed that Morales hit him hard. I think Morales power comes from his big bones, he might be skinny but he has a big frame for his division, if you look at his wrists you can see they are very wide and he has big hands. So I am guessing that power comes from his bone density he is really heavy handed. You have to have heavy bones if you have no musculature at all.

    Not hard enough to stop Wayne McCullough but then Hamed couldn't stop him either.

      Morales would have stopped barrera if he was a truely hard puncher..

      Not trying to take anything away from morales but i just dont think of him as a hard puncher.

      Manny probably said this after morales took all of manny's shots and fired back in the first fight

          Seriously a shot Morales was able to rock Maidana and Garcia, and this is a super slow shot Morales. If he had any big of speed or stamina left he could have probably went for the kill like he used to at 122.

          Pacquiao claimed Morales hit him hard, not all hard punchers will knock you out cold, a lot of hard punchers will rattle your brain and make you dizzy and feeling the impact.

            Dude, I loved morales but he isnt a huge puncher..

            I have never even seen him one-punch ko anybody that was any good..

            Please name Morales best Ko....

            Morales hits accurate, like floyd, so yes their punches rattle guys but they aint going lights out like tyson, hearns, tito, mathyse, foreman, true one hitter quiters

              Bone density? You're way over thinking things

              Morales hits pretty hard, but most of his hurting fighters comes from throwing punches from weird angles when they dont see it coming.
