    look at the guys he has fought at welter,,

    oscar- who has stopped oscar before at welter
    cotto- only stopped my margs
    shane- never been stopped
    clottey- never been stopped
    margs- never been stopped
    rios- never been stopped
    bradley- never been stopped
    jmm- never been stopped,,,


    If you take into account the level of opposition and the fact that nearly all of these guys have never been stopped, its easy to see why manny doesnt ko welters,,

    Its tough for any fighter to score ko over another top level fighter

      Look at the guys he has fought for **** sakes. margarito, mosley, clottey, bradley, marquez, rios. Who knocks those fighters out? Those fighters are as durable as they come.

      And manny stops his opponents via accumulation. He has decent one punch power but it's not stevenson like KO power.

      Nevertheless he is a strong puncher with speed and can stop anyone at any given night.

          Alvarado was also a middleweight in the ring against Rios.

          Why bring up Margarito though? Pacquiao ended his career breaking his face and destroyed his eye. Plus Pac took it easy on him last few rounds, that fight should have been stopped. Garcia was horrible in the corner for not throwing the towel.

            Pacquaio might have fought a lot of underwhelming fights at WW and above but all of them were durable.

                yes they were all super durable guys that could take some good shots,,

                And in reality, yes the manny fights were kinda underwhelming, but i think it was because manny was so more vastly skilled than those guys,,

                clottey took margs and cotto to the final bell in very close competitive fights that could have gone either way, but when faced with manny, clottey is completely scared to let his hands go..
                Same thing goes with shane, and margs

                Only one that really tried to win was cotto early but after about 4 rounds he went into survival mode
