    Not a big fan of Pac but his power always surprised me some of his shots never really hit his opponent flush and it had a effect.

    Mayweather for me dominated Pac but i couldn't help notice that the few times Pac caught him it did have a effect on Mayweather and i never seen him effected in a long time i mean guys like cotto and Maidana hit him loads but Pac hits him few times and it has a effect i just don't get it.

    Pac is not harder hitter than Cotto or Canelo which makes me suspect him more.

    Pacquiao p4p is miles and miles and miles a harder hitter than Cotto or Canelo.

    We're talking about possibly the hardest puncher in the history of boxing sub 130.

    Even at 147 I'd say he hits harder than Cotto.

    Speed kills. It is the element of surprise that hurts the opponents

    Dominated? Pacquiao 7-5.

    :deal

    But yeah, his power is surprising. It's a potent combination of angles, speed, delivery, and natural power. Mosley and Bradley both described his punches as having as a "snap" to them.

    :good

    Algieri said Pacquiao throws shots where normally guys don't have a lot of power, but Pacquiao does. Algieri said he also has this incredible ability to have power even with his feet not set.

    Bradley said Pacquiao's power is weird because it's not like the first or last shot is the hardest, every single shot, even ones that don't look hard, are all equally the hardest.

    Kinda reminds me of Mosley as a lightweight. His speed was crazy and that only made his power incredible. Once he got up to WW it disappeared though.

    Suspect him for what?

    You are clearly not capable of logical thinking.

    He hurts Mayweather, yet he went through Olympic style drug testing, so he must be on drugs.

    Are you really this stupid or do you just play an idiot on the internet?
