Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao Explains His Lack of Knockouts Since 2009

[mlac]

he KO'd algeria (he turned his back on the count of 10)

and he KD iron jawed bradley several times, it's the killer finishing instinct he is lacking.

i blame jesus obviously

I think do with Random Drug Testing notice how the following ko ration went down Pacman, Bradley, Mayweather

Just saying

he didn't start random testing until 2014 I believe. his last ko was with hatton 2009, with cotto it was a tko in 2009. LOL

Great point. I totally see pacquiao knocking the head off of any and all 135 pounders out there. Possibly still wreck the 140 div as well

the thing is that a lot of guys now fighting at 135-140 drained themselves to fight at that weight. they usually rehydrate up to 150+. Crawford fought gamboa at 135 and rehydrate up to 152.

I think it's be fighters took a different approach in fighting him. They don't just rush in thinking he small any more like when he first moved up.

Because no one dares to trade with him anymore like Hatton and Cotto. Marquez took risks and got his KO. Others were running, clinching, and most of them were huge.

marquez was just too much for manny. if pac couldn't ko him at the lower weight, he wasn't gonna ko him at 147.

When bringing up the KO rate and PED accusations people seem to forget the style of which Pacman was knocking guys out. During his streak of wins, the only true knockout was Ricky Hatton. The other KO's were due to his blistering hand speed and footwork that had guys just quitting on him. There came a point which i believe was a little after him destroying Margarito where other fighters would just give up and stop exchanging with him. There is only so much a guy can do when his opponents won't do their part. The PED non sense are just Floyd fan's not knowing anything other than him in the world of boxing.

the peds accusation and drug test makes zero sense. he didn't start doing random test until 2014 but his last legit ko was back in 2009. so according to their logic manny was still juicing from 2010-2014, yet he had no ko during that time period.

I would chalk some of it up to PED use...

I'm not anti-Pac but I've been accusing him of PED use before Mayweather since at least since the second Morales fight. I also thought Trinidad was cheating as well at least since the Vargas fight. People want to believe in the extraodinary it's natural. Tito didn't have the frame to punch with that type of authority against other world class fighters. Pac moving up in weight was walking through significantly bigger opponents. To give you perspective Maidana couldn't walk thru Morales. Ortiz was juicing in first Berto fight. Look at Ortiz body next fight vs Floyd. Adonis in Chad fight. Just pay attention to the body changes, energy level and ability to take punches like never before. Matthyesse when tested didn't hold up as well either. Down and busted up in Garcia/Postol fights(tested for both). All fighters should be tested as a national protocol.
