    Do you think Pacquiao has lost his power?

    A lot of people believe Pacquiao doesn't have the same punching power he used to have. Do you think he has just been fighting guys with iron chins which is making his power look diminished or has he legitimately lost it?

      He was always a accumulation fighter, he simply had the luxury of facing a few crackheads at WW to skew people's perception of that power................

        He's been fighting guy's with iron chins and will. If Algieri does not have a solid beard, I think he's going to get TKO'd.

          Well if you think he isn't the puncher at welterweight that he was at 140 and lower then that is a fair and accurate statement

          but you also have to consider the guys he fought that were never previously stopped, were world class, and had heart

          In the fight with Marquez he showed power he illustrated in the past, but with the ko loss to Marquez he is less willing to be reckless or just flat out be aggressive and go for the kayo

          if anything he lost that killer instinct.....and that happens when you have a kill or be killed style...Manny has been kayo'ed 3 times....im sure he isn't shooting for number four anytime soon

            he never was this monster puncher people made him out to be in the higher weight divisions. the Hatton fight exaggerated the belief in his punching power

            threw everything at marg yet couldn't stop him

            it took Shane only 8 or 9 rounds

              Stop saying Pacquiao lost to Marquez, PAC has never lost to Marquez. You must be talking about Maroid, they're two different person so don't get them mixed up.

                Not lost the power he had, but he is fighting bigger guys now, and brought the same punch with him up in weight, which means fewer knockouts.

                He has what one KO/TKO at welterweight or over? and that was a 12th round TKO. You look down to where he was fighting at Super Featherweight and below, and you see lots of KO's/TKO's.

                  pacquiao is not even a real welterweight his fight night weight is a consistent 150lbs, Shane Mosley who is a tremendous puncher has atleast 15 lbs on him.
