Pacqiuao has no power to K.O. anyone at 147.

It went away. Coincidently around the time random testing became popular.

Just a coincidence though.

 

Ugh, how is this news?

 

Well he "technically" knocked out Mattyhsse his last fight but I know what you mean. His last KTFO moment was '09 vs Ricky

 

Doesn't matter. He has enough to keep them honest

 

Because making someone quit is a worse way to win?

 

Then i guess sosa,marriaga,walters and rigo also took a dive then?

 

Papa Arum did his job!

 

Marg's fight should have been stopped, Mosley begged Naz to stop the fight, and Algieri was kd countless times.

 

And what's our point ?

 

I think his debut at the weight vs Cotto flattered his power at welterweight. He obviously had pop in his shots but a lot of his stopping power at welter came from the volume and speed of his shots with him overwhelming guys and breaking them down, while at 140lbs and below he was a huge puncher, at welter he was never really a big puncher.

He's had 12 wins at welter and only stopped 2 opponents, Cotto and Matthysse. Pac simply isn't a true welterweight and that's reflected by his lack of real one punch power at the weight.

Now he's past prime, can no longer fight with the same intensity, throw with the same volume, has slowed and still fighting in a division against naturally much bigger men. So I think stoppage wins for Pac will be few and far between.

 

Because they turtle up and fight scored, they fight to survive. If you knew boxing you would understand this. Cotto could have easily survived Pac if he ran around the right the whole night. Fighters approach changed.

He's also a lot more gunshy, and throws far less punches since JMM. He was throwing 1200 punches per fight, now 600.

 

Well he hurt Broner a couple times...and if nothing else Broner can take a beating
