    Power is the last thing to go. He's dropped a bit of speed and cant move on those crazy angles so quickly anymore..that means guys see the punches coming better now. But, the power is still there.

    DLH, Hatton, Cotto, and Margs were the last guys to actually take the fight to Pac and meet him in the middle..and they were cut down. Since then Clottey shelled up, Mosley ran, bradley ran, Marquez moved backwards all night looking for counters. It's very hard to knock out guys fighting that way when you are a natural 135lber.

    The fact that Bam Bam Rios was scared to let his hands go against Pacquiao says so much to me. He dwarfed pac in the ring, has a proven granite chin, and goes to war against everyone....yet he wouldnt let his hands go against pac and try to give himself a chance to win.
    Maybe 2008-2010 Pacquiao has enough stamina and ferocity to make the ref stop the fight..but I cant name a single 140-147lber who could stop Rios today.

    What they mean is that Pacman loss of power/speed ratio...Is not as we usually see it

    Most boxers become much slower & sloppier...before they lose their power.

    The PED covert accusation tune I ignored...because I simply consider PEDs part of elite conditioning & you can't do the same camps...some are literally one in a life time as it takes alot out of the athlete mentally and physically...Pacman power depends on his conditioning more than the average punchers...who usually just drop bombs when the opportunity presents its self and have more problem with timing and delivering power as they age...rather than generating power

    there are 4 belts per class and multiple minor belts. now there are super and junior weight classes that did not exist several decades ago. Your belts are only worth as much as your competition. I suppose Adrien Broner according to your standards is phenomenal since he has belts in 2 classes and skipped 140. Belts alone don't mean anything. I don't care if he has 20 belts in 20 weight classes the competition quality is what matters

    Ive boxed and dont believe he was on PED's? You clearly do no understand the definition of "fact".

    Fact - "a thing that is known or proved to be true"

    It is not known OR proved that Manny Pacquaio has used PED's in his career. Please do not try and tarnish a name like Malignaggi's with your stupidity.

    no he isnt,he is very talented tho and to do what he did is some achievement he just moved up far too quick.do u not think that it is an achievement as a virtual novice to win titles at 2 weights skipping one in the process ?

    8 ounce to 10 ounce gloves.

    And he does got power.

    Bradley has good defense and a good chin.

    Who else has he fought? Margarito...

    Pretty damn hard to knockout, plus he had a 20 lb weight advantage.

    Cotto? ****.... Mayweather almost knocked Cotto out.

    Hatton? Mayweather knocked Hatton out.

    Rios? Who's knocked Rios out?

    So who the **** is left?

    Pacquaio has the same damn power that he's always had. It's explosive and fast. Shane said it best. He's not heavy handed, but he's got that explosive power. That bone cracking type power.

    That's because his power at 147 has been over-rated by his idiotic fanbase who can't think logically. The love for Manny Pacquiao is religious and ridiculous. Like most great boxers who have moved up in weight, the KOs fade away. Particularly when fighting world class opposition... Those fighters don't get KO'd often.

    Roberto Duran finished his career with approximately a 50% KO ratio for example. He didn't have punching power?

    I think it's probably a good idea for all the "hardcore knowledgeable" boxing fans to chill for a bit (self ban) and just let the *******s have their CIRCLE JERK. Because this is getting ridiculous.
