Manny's punching power: Organic or artificial??

[KING MEAT]

he broke margaritos face cuz manny threw an uppercut as he was ducking forward.

it was a "head on" collision.

manny produces damage from sustained, accumulation of punches. theres pop, but not devastating power like what everyone has come to think cuz of the hatton KO.

that was a perfectly placed, perfectly timed shot. much like the JMM punch that put him to sleep.

Why so concern on how hard Pac punches? No boxers punches the same throughout there careers.

Joe calzaghe used to hit hard earlier in his career than became known as the slapper. Floyd used to hit harder, but cant take the power up or his hands are fragile now.
Nothings set in stone. Sometimes your chin improves as well or gets worse. Sometimes you fight people with granite chins, therefore they make it seem like you don't hit hard.

Sometimes you hit people who have porcelain chins that make you seem like you have dynamite in your gloves.

pacquiao didn't land a single one of his signature crosses vs rios, rio's guard wouldn't allow it, he had to settle for looping punches around rio's guard and sneaky arm punches mixed in his combinations, and those were still fairly powerful

pacquiao's signature left cross



didn;t even land a righ hook as good as this one

What?? Manny was landing straight lefts down the middle all night on rios

gif of him landing his signature 1-2? that's when he packs the most power, when he can stomp on his front foot and put all the weight there

gif plz, all i saw were arm punches, wide hooks and the counter lefts(lead left)

I started to lose faith in humanity..

have to consider punches landed....

it's obvious that pac landed way more punches on margarito than rios...

Apologies for the resend - Pacquiao landed 281 total punches, 241 of which were to the HEAD #PacRios

That's an insane number of punches landing, can't believe Marg was still standing and still can't believe they didn't stop that fight.

Mosley, margarito, rios have never been stopped and were covering up more than usual.

Besides Hatton, what great ko's has he done?

I think he is the same, and peoples perception is the variable.

Didn't Mosley stop Margarito??? I may be wrong here

[Daniel_T5]

mosley destroyed margarito

Personally feel he was juiced. I think it's obvious like when baseball had Sosa, McGwire, Bonds. I just have a hard time believing that when he was 23 - 25 he's fighting at 118-122 not weight drained and 5 years later he's a welterweight Gained 30 lbs of muscle ,which is another 25% of his body mass and didn't lose any speed and increased his power.

Just like in baseball I think allot of people in boxing know what's going on but not bringing to light. I remember years ago Freddy Atlas mentioning something, And Floyd calling him out on the tests and him not accepting and dancing around the issue. He could be clean and be just a genetic freak but I think he was juicing.
