Is Stewart Wrong For Saying Juarez hits harder than Pacquiao?

[baya]

that's a good point and I too highly believe that Tito hits harder than de la hoya. Asking the opponents sometimes isn't a good idea because they tend to not give credit. Take Morales for instance. He said Pac's punches were weak and he was just tired in that fight (2nd Pac vs Morales).

true. its whoever they like more at the time, after getting his ass ****d by odlh on national tv and knowing there MAY be a glimmer of hope to maybe make some money w/ odlh when he probably severely fuqqed up his relationship w/ don king after putting him on blash in front of everyone at the last press conference, better believe mayorga is going to put that nose deep into dlh's ass to maybe sign to goldenboy.

pac and juarez have 2 common opponents. Barrera and Velasquez. Pac KO'd them both, while juarez lost 1 and UD on the other. You can say pacquiao just places his punches better, but if you think that juarez was able to hit barrera cleanly, then i would have to say pacquiao hits harder, IMO.

IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHOS GETTING HIT THATS ALL. EACH FIGHTER WILL REMEMBER A FEW SHOTS FROM SOMEONE MORE THAN THE OTHER, BUT I AGREE THAT TITO IS THE BIGGER PUNCHER BY FAR HE JUST GOT CAUGHT BY A DLH NICE LEFT HOOK ONE OF THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS BUT THAT DOESNT NECISSARILY MEAN HE HITS HARDER THAN TITO.

i agree baby - (hope you got those punks, by the way) - it was in response to ras' post of asking the fighter, its very subjective.

a guy may just dislike flips, boricuas or always side w/ the compadres.

good thing you brought that up. Velasquez is another durable guy that Pac TKOed, but lasted the distance against Juarez.

Punch for punch I think Juarez hits harder because he has great technique/delivery. He punches very well from short distances & throws compact hooks to the body & head. Pac can punch, make no mistake about that but I think that Rocky's delivery is better because he gets more leverage on his punches.

thats a bad point it's not that pac hits harder he just works at twice the rate juarez does. not once did you see juarez fight like Pac not once in that whole fight did he get in there and throw 10 punches in a matter of 4 seconds like pac does. If Juarez fought like Manny which I think he will when he gets some more experience he will be more devistating than Pac ever was.

I've always thought Steward was a great trainer, but a huge flip flopper when it comes to commentating. He is the John Kerry of boxing. Also, you must remember that Steward is a huge fan of Barrera's. I was watching Barrera vs. Ayala yesterday, and even though it was one-sided, Steward never stops blowing Barrera.

You do realize that Pacquiao knocked out Barrera and Morales, each of whom had never been knocked out before, right?

Exactamundo.

Just because Pacquiao has dropped and KD'ed the guys he has doesn't mean he's a harder puncher than Juarez. Pacquiao hits very hard for sure...but not with one punch.

the reason Pacquiao was able to do what he did against those fighters is because, well, he's just a much better fighter than Juarez.

what i really see is this. juarez is like pac when he gets old and washed up. still has the power but not as relentless anymore so rocky can only beat him then haha.
