    Maybe manny is the exception,maybe Roach has something figured out, but historicaly a lot of smaller men have moved up in weight and none have increased KO ratio.

    Agree to random testing for the good of the sport, so that fans like us know that we can compare this generation to those of the past fairly,unlike baseball, track,ect....

    Are you ****ing ******ed?!?!!?
    He knocked out hatton at 140

    JESUS CHRIST YOU GUYS ARE GULLIBLE.
    What the **** has he shown in power that any of us are shocked at?
    He gets called "blindingly fast" not "unbelievably powerful"

    ****ing. Moron.

    Because Pac is the third greatest supernatural, after Guzman and Mijares.

    his power at these higher weights are nothing compared to what he has in 122lbs and below. it's just his speed multiplies the damage.

    when you look at the hatton KO, he sat on that punch longer than he used to compared to the lower weights. and hatton (also cotto) was coming in.

    He lost power IMO.

    It is just that the guys he fought at lower weight had sturdier chins than some he fought at the hgiher weight.

    MAB, EM and JMM have better chins than Diaz, Cotto and Hatton.

    because he takes performance enhancing drugs?

    no one had ever knocked hatton out at 140 before. manny knocked him cold. he also went toe to toe with cotto at 147 and it looked like he was brawling with a featherweight.

    Yeah, he brought Cotto down to 145, and the ref stopped the fight in the 12th. Some beat down.

    Manny didn't increase his ko ratio, fool. He couldn't put the welters he fought away. He dominated DLH and Cotto but didn't knock them out.

    Uhh....... :huh

    Those are both KO's on his record bro. TKO or not, it counts as a KO.

    If you are talking about being "out cold" then I apologize for the confusion.

    It was sure will power that kept Leonard on his feet during their first fight. Anyone else would have fallen by the shots Leonard was taking.

    I meant his power didn't increase. Those tko's were rather a result of speed and having no answer for it, being buzzed continually, rather than ko power like Trinidad's or DLH's at welter.
