    I was watching some Tyson footage today and damn...he was explosive and beastly.

    Is there anyone out there right now with that kind of explosiveness?

    Donaire is not explosive.
    Pacquiao, if he had more power, would be.

    Pacquiao at the lower weights (122-130) is a textbook definition of "explosive"

    Not so much anymore at 147, though he'll have his moments

    Nobody in boxing compares to a prime Mike Tyson in explosiveness, so the answer is no.
