    The haters say Pac's power disappeared after Floyd's accusations... so who was Pac supposed to have knocked out???

    Margarito? Stopped only by Shane after 5,793 flush bombs. Was smiling when he was TKO'd.

    Rios? Never been stopped.

    Bradley? Never been stopped.

    Marquez? Never been stopped. Was extremely close to being stopped.

    Algieri? Never been stopped.

    Clottey? Never been stopped.

    Mosley? Never been stopped (Mundine was a shoulder injury and happened years later).

    Pacquiao stopped guys who haven't been stopped before too.

    He did not carry his same power from 126 to 147. That's pretty obvious.

    Pacquiao from featherweight would have stopped a guy like Algieri in 3 rounds.

    Chris is not much better than a guy like Emmanuel Lucero.

    Pacquiao from featherweight was also like 10 years younger and a completely different fighter.

    Pac's lost the speed that made him so dangerously explosive. He's in his late 30's and has a lot of mileage on the clock. Overall I'd say what we're seeing with him is pretty normal. Would he have handled guys like Bradley differently in mid-2000's? It's probably fair to say that he would have.

    Totally agree, defo not as fast as he was, Father Time catches up with us all and that was his major asset. Look at the top guys who have lasted long, floyd, Hopkins etc am not a fan but they haven't had too many wars and have adapted their style with age. PAC fights the same as he has always done, still think he is great entertainment though.

    How many times were Morales and Barrera stopped before their fights with Pac?
