    In what sort of wacky world can't power be improved? If it wasn't possible to increase power in boxers then it would be the only exception in all of sports. If you're a human and you have the ability for neuromuscular and physiological adaptations then power can be improved.
    Get serious people, the world isn't flat.

    I'm surprised Cotto would say that when he was hurt with a single shot in the 12th. Sure Mayweather doesn't commit to his punches but he does sting/stun them to think twice before charging in wide open.

    Floyd can sting you for sure. I just don't think he can hurt you. Well, let me rephrase that. I don't think he can hurt Manny.

    Yeah, but didn't Cotto and Mosley say Pac has more power and snap? I'd take these comparisons with a grain of salt.

    Plus that was Pacquiao's first time taking a MASSIVE jump to Welterweight. I wouldn't be surprised if it sapped his power a little bit. And he didn't say they were just the same, he rated their power as "stings" as if they don't hit hard.

    "They sting a little." Like are you forreal, Oscar? Pacquiao is undoubtedly one of the strongest punches in the welterweight division. They're more than a "sting" as everyone opponent besides Oscar has said.

    Who cares if Marquez took Pacquiao's head in that 6th round. Pac would've been KOed by that shot regardless.. Besides that's probably Karma for taking the win from JMM in the 3rd fight.

    What they're talking about was the 3rd RD KD where Marquez threw an overhand right that sent Pac FLYING on his ass.

    40 year old sudden power, sudden bulking, hiring a PED expert and then proceeded to lying and pretending he didn't know about him.. Add to that the acne.

    Another one is the fight against Alvarado where he sent him flying across the ring.

    Nothing conclusive but what we have for Marquez is Red flag after Red flag after Red flag.

    The same Pac who's been flatlined by one shot three times? The same Pac who has shown some softness to the body (Margo, Bradley's hard shots in the 1st fight most definitely slowed him down)?

    May 2nd is going to be a shocking night for a lot of people.
