    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.

    If you watch that entire video, some of the movement, hand speed and snap on those punches... for a heavyweight? Jesus.. Its pretty incredible.

    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.
