    Davis had issues with Gamboas movements on a ruptured achilles tendon. Imagine what Loma would do to him. Lol

    What would suggest he had a glass jaw? He got knocked out by someone that has an amazing KO ratio.

    Forget it, to compare Davis to Pac is a disgrace. Ones over hyped the other one is one of the greatest fighters ever, it doesn't even warrant a breakdown or a discussion

    Wait maybe i was wrong. Took 12 rounds for a guy with an amazing KO ratio against subpar competition and punches harder than pac in his prime to put away a shot gamboa.

    Answering with raw data Pac
    @LW 46-3-2 (34kos) 7-1-2 in Title Fights
    @LW took 788 thrown & 230 landed via 180 power shots thru 9 rounds
    David Dias on his power in between rounds told his corner "Ï can handle is power but he is just way too fast. Post fight The F-er is 2 fast. I thought Freddie was in the ring with him hitting me."" Key note- This wasn't contested @135 as he entered the ring @ 147lbs.

    Brandon Rios "It was like fighting an Octopus like he had more than 2 hands & 2 arms."- Another fighter stating he could handle Pac's power, but couldn't deal with the speed.


    Even if we go back to 130lb division his power would be backed up by 139lbs of force vs. Morales I.
    217 landed. 183 were power shots & couldn't drop him. Add 20 or more if stats were off it still means he was an accumulation puncher against top tier, but a 1 puncher with 2nd tier like Tank has proven.

    I include 147 because he never really fought at 130. ...when he fought at 122 he came in at 130. @ 126 he came in at 135. @ 130 He came in like everyone else 140.
    Pac weighing 147 vs Margarito landed 411 power shots. Took him the distance while Mosley KO'd Rito. However Shane & Rito came in as Middleweights aka 160lbs.
    Side note- in 2009 when mosley KO'd Margarito at that time 147 top 10 consisted of get this: Margarito, CLottey, Cotto, Paul Williams, many Pacquiao & Andre Berto. I mention this because that was when Floyd decided to retire. Punk ass move. Now Back 2 biz.
    Pac landed 157 against JMM fight #1 176 in fight #2. 172 fight in fight #3. Pac weighed 151 against JMM in fight #4 & still couldn't KO JMM. Point- A lesser fighter may have wilted, but JMM proved Pac can brake noses, make U bleed, takes a special hombre to weather that.

    Conclusion- Tank KO'd all the T-can he faced, Pac did not.

    Pac against top tier fighters was by bludgeoning his opponents with nonstop incessant punching , braking noses, eyes sockets, spitting blood aka Margarito, Morales, Clott,y Cotto , Algieri, Rios, Mosley, Bradley. IMO That takes power. It is easier to drop someone than to break bone.

    Tank Davis stopped more fighters than Pac, clearly. 22out of -23 kos.
    However,By 23 fights both fighter paths are different. Pac had decisions against club fighters.

    Neither fighter had taken on top tier at 23 fights. Just title fights. Davis 1st 23 are better than Pac's 1st 23-- be it Pac couldn't ko ém all because he needed some sandwiches aka blah-blah, while Tank Davis needed Weight watchers blah-blah.

    History should prove Pac the better puncher because I don't think Gervonta can last long enough to fight murderers row Manny has taken on. Gervonta's fight is with his sorrowful regiment of strip clubs & bingin off baby back ribs

    Look at Pac vs ledwaba at 122, a top tier opponent, that was a guy who simply couldn’t handle the power.

    Diaz was a rough mofo, not sure Davis would stop him either. On top of that, Pac was a small guy coming up to face fighters bigger than him even at 130, whereas tabk is usually the bigger guy. His fight night weight is deceiving as he weighed in with clothes on (commentators mentioned it).

    Do you think the 140lb version of Pac dehydrating to 130lb, c level guys would survive him? I mean when he fought guys like Velasquez, fahsan 3k battery, Larios, solis, non a-level guys, he destroyed them, couldn’t deal with his power. He literally lifted fahsan with an uppercut, Velasquez and solis was lost soon as they got touched.

    There are levels, you can see this when Canelo and ggg fought and ggg couldn’t look like a monster anymore. Same with Inoue Donaire. However, when Pac fought mab, jmm, Morales, he dropped them a total of 12 times. GGG couldn’t drop Canelo once. Bare in mind those guys had iron chins south of LW equivalent to Canelo or Donaire.
