    Of course Pacquiao has some power, although I think a lot of it stems from his speed and the angles he presents, but I agree he does not have true one punch power.

    Naz!

    In his fight with Daniel Alicia [sp?] he threw a right hand in the 2nd round so effortlessly, yet it sounded like a ****ing shotgun and Daniel fell like he had been hit with a cannon or some ****.

    These fighters above could be on the move and turn your lights out because they have the ability to put their weight behind their punches. 1 guy who definitely needed his feet planted was Cotto, during the Margo fight he threw alot of punches BUT they were ineffective because he couldn't get his weight behind them.

    Agreed! Well....Many has power...just not one punch KO power. That shot he hit Rick with was definitely an excpetion. He actually was sitting down on his shot which landed perfectly. So he's got power but not like Edwin Valero or someone with really heavy hands like Foreman.

    The best example probably is Floyd Patterson, he used to leap into his left hooks with devestating results.

    Pac had true one-punch power at 112 and 122.

    He sat down on his punch with the KO of Hatton that's for sure.
