    Since 2009 he has 2 victories by KO.

    He has no elite power at all.

    Curiously 2009 is when people started to openly talk about him being roided to the grills. He smells like PEDs from Nebraska.

    That's what happens when you are 5'5" and coming up from Featherweight.

    Elite power is elite power. When you go up in weight and you cant get more than 2 kos in 15 years, you have no elite power.

    And I'm doing nothing but stating the obvious.

    By your definition only Heavyweights have "elite" power.

    That assertion is stupid. Roy Jones started as MW, he had no elite power and he still could knock people out at LHW without problems.

    It's extremelly obvious that pacquiao has no elite power. Now, you can hug his nuts as much as you can.

    Roy Jones couldn't knock out Lennox Lewis or Wlad Klitschko. No elite pohwaa.

    Maybe you don't understand how boxing works but he stopped Cotto and Oscar. You don't do that without elite power.

    His power doesn't even break into very good territory, let alone elite.

    LW Duran also had those specs, but that's from the 70s.

    Keep hugging nuts, dude. You do it perfectly. But no matter how hard you hug them, it will not change that pacquio's power was not elite.

    Btw, all those attributes you mention are extremely related to peds. Do your maths.


    Another example of non-elite power getting more that 2 kos in 15 years when going up in weight is canelo. Saying that pacquiao has elite power is utterly stupid. His power is just good, that's all. Good power, period.

    Yes because 86% KO ratio is not even very good. Well done.

    His best win is Plant and he couldn't even knock him out despite looking like a Cruiser in there.

    The fact he still could hurt and beat up much bigger guys despite not stopping them shows he still had elite power. You need to look a bit deeper than than googling boxrec, casual.

    To be fair, Benavidez has never knocked out a decent opponent. Caleb Plant is the best man on his record and even Canelo stopped Plant.

    Not sure how that has anything to do with the point I made. Prime Tyson could not even KO a number of guys who has been stopped before. I guess he did not have elite power. In your world 86% KO ratio is not even very good power. lol

    PS. How many fighters in the sport today have over 86% KO ratio you think? let alone over 20 fights? ...
