Manny's punching power: Organic or artificial??

mosley destroyed margarito

did he ? I thought it was a great fight up untill mosley landed a very nice counter

Rios had better head movement than Margarito tho. If anything he ducked some of Mannys punches. I'm just surprised that Manny's hands are still healthy and not brittle yet after all this time, especially a puncher like him.

Ther's nothing wrong with Pacquiao's punching power. It's just no one is fighting him face first anymore. Even Brandon "face first" Rios was forced to lean out of the way of those punches.

Manny didn't really load up on his shots when he fought Rios, he was throwing arm punch flurries and had to pass them through a double guard.

also he was punching Rios with an open fist, he wasn't clinching his gloves a lot of the times. Pacman no longer has that killer instinct I could tell he was going soft on Rios, he watched 24/7 and it showed Rios had a lot of young kids and apparently Buboy was telling Manny don't feel sorry for him don't be too nice or something. Pacman probably felt sorry for Rios and didn't want to hurt him cause he had a family. But someone should tell Manny its better to knock a guy out early than having him take accumulation, the accumulation is much worse for the brain.

Organic at Lightweight.
Artificial at Welterweight.
Pacquiao has not stopped anyone since the boxing community called him out for PED use following the Cotto fight. That's the bottom line.

Too long of a paragraph, did not read.

Pacquiao packs a punch, Rios didn't want to open up.

Same as Clottey. He didn't get knocked out coz he was in a Philly shell all day.

The same people who hate on Pac, are the same people who says his 147 is fake yet they try to insult Pac. The only information they get from Pac are from the Pac fanboys yet they still think they are some boxing aficionado because they watch Floyd box.

Manny has NEVER shown brute strength power at anything above SFW, in which he used to be able to drop weight and rehydrate to around 144. (His opponents have always said "the speed kills") These boxing aficionados will always try to degrade Manny when the facts have ALWAYS been out there on Manny its not like they hid he was at 144 back in 2006-2008 on fight night, seriously.

I'm Filipino and a Pac fan, but its clear as ****ing day that Manny's 147 "reign" is a ****ing fraud. The only true 147 lber he fought was Cotto, and it was at a CW. Haters who spend time trying to degrade Pac at this stage of his career are jokes. Please move on and hate on Adrien Broner or some other person that may be regarded as the future of boxing, because these old guys are on their way out in 2-3 years.

Now is his power organic or artificial? Organic. He has bigger calves than some middleweights, whats up Peter Quillin, and his main factor was the SPEED. Speed kills, getting hit at awkward angles kills, and the fact he punches with bad intentions is always something dangerous.

I've always considered him Mike Tyson-esque except not upper body, but lower body. Even Emmanuel Steward has made such similar comments. Manny use to bob and weave his head actively and use the strangest punches at the strangest angles that aren't textbook boxing.

ariza doe.

Margarito was shop worn after the first Cotto fight. Plus his own aging plus inactivity from a well deserved ban had his body more vulnerable. He was a fighter who just took punches like an idiot and his body gave out and eventually couldnt handle Pacs speed.

Rios is another chin first fighter who while beat up didny show as much damage. Hes young, big not past prime yet so his body took the punishment better. He is still a skill less punching bag though. Simple as that.

good points, but lets be honest, it was shane that wore out Antonio's engine
