De La Hoya: "Pacquiao Doesn't Hit Hard"

Both the Diaz and Oscar fights were impressive displays of boxing, movement and combination punching from Pac but no way did they show that Pac punches hard at 135+.

Both stoppages were on an accumination of punches after many rounds of Manny dominating and repeatedly hitting his opponent flush. Yes, the fact he was able to do that and get the stoppage is testament to his skill but it doesn't mean he's a big puncher at the weight.

 

at the higher weights, pac dominates and pummels his opponents, then eventually stops them around the 3rd quarter of a fight. pac is not a big puncher at these weights but he is certainly not a light-hitting one too. pac has good adequate power aided by his speed and accurate punching enough to hurt his opponents.

 

You make it sound like he's been doing that to a long list of victims, he's only had 2 fights above 130...

But other than that it seems we are pretty much agreeing with each other....

 

i think he was referring to the nth time Pac moved up in weight, not just recently

 

Ah, fair enough. Except for JMM, Morales, Larrios and Barerra though eh:good

That kind of only leaves Diaz and Oscar who fit that discription in the last 4 or 5 years......;O)

 

Well. ****ing. said.

 

nice avatar btw.:good

 

Well, according to Oscar, Pac WAS slapping. :yep

 

This is such bull****. Like someone else said, Oscar is making it seem like he had some forcefield keeping him from doing anything. Hahaha, that's crap, and I'm an Oscar fan. But come on, ok how about trying to brawl and take him out if he doesn't hit hard. Why not make a final attempt, why not try that but instead, quit? BULL**** . Oscar does have a pretty good chin, so Manny not knocking him down is no big deal to me, Manny is smaller. So this proves that Oscar just quit even though he wasn't really getting hurt?

 

Not sure if this has been posted already but go to 3:28 and listen to David Diaz

Oscar was not a full time fighter for that fight.

 

Pacquiao doesn't need to hit extremely hard in this match just do enough to slice-up an quickly and easily sliceable Hatton's face and eventually have a frustrated fighter walking into ringposts.

...these HattonBots that argue the opposite are just jumping on any quote only that somehow fits their agenda!

 

I think we will know more after the Hatton fight.

 

True.

 

If his bloody nose could talk, it would surely say differently!
