Do you think Pacquiao has lost his power?

[Dr Rumack]

He was never a huge puncher at welterweight.

But what people also overlook, or forget, is the prevailing view five years ago that Pac was out of his depth at 140/147. Opponents expected to overpower him, but the Hatton and Cotto fights changed that.

No one walks into his shots nowadays like Hatton and Cotto did. He hasn't caught one opponent with the sort of shot he stopped Hatton with since.

So it's a combination of the two I think. He wasn't a monster puncher to begin with at 140/147, and opponents are a lot less reckless against him now.

No. He's a welterweight now.

Personally I think it is a mix between his opponents and his age. People forget he is only a couple of fights away from leaving the sport, it kind of makes sense that he doesn't look as impressive these days (in terms of power).

He still has his power, you can visually see the effect his shots have on recent opponents, buckled Rios a few times, had Bradley stunned more than once in both fights, very nearly had Marquez beaten in rd.5 of their IV fight...

Pac's power comes from his speed and his ability to accumulate several shots over those fast combos, which he still has the ability to do...Look at his DLH/Cotto/Margarito fights, yeah they where all bigger than him but he out-sped and hit those guys all night and they looked soundly out-powered by the end of it. The Hatton fight put a huge magnifying glass on Pac's power, and as impressive a display it was, Hatton may as well have head butted Pac's hand that night.

Simple physics at play , when your opponent is weakened your power goes up , when your opponent is strong your power goes down .

Is not hard to figure out boys stop trying to over think it to justify your hero , take the CWs away and his so called power is gone , it wasnt there before them and wasnt there after them .

If Pacman doesn't have power then Mayweather is featherfisted.

Roach already knows about his loss of power in recent years and feels he can get it back going back to light ww.

38 of his 56 wins are by way of knockout. Numbers don't lie. I'm fairly new here and already know not to take you seriously.

Ah but Floyd has only a few % less KO percentage , so numbers must lie according to your own idea Floyd is featherfisted , so something is not right by your own calculations .

The question is has his WW power gone it was never a question of whether Manny has power its was a question of his perceived WW power , that makes a huge difference in the answer , my answer is no his power has not gone its the last thing a fighter loses , the opponents that were stopped were weakened by CWs , take the CWs away and the power appears to be gone .

Its not hard to figure out if you lower your bias regarding Manny and just go on the facts surrounding his WW fights , their is a lot of things to look at and compare .

It's not a few less between the 2...more like 15% less KOs....and of course no one is going to count the Ortiz KO.
