This was a physically past-his-best Pac. He was flat-footed most of the fight and couldn't create the opportunities with his movement to land better flush shots as he would've in his prime. He still wobbled Bradley a few times to keep him in this conversation. Anyway, Kendall Holt is one of the biggest punchers in the division. It's no slant on Pac, albeit a past-it version, to claim he doesn't punch as hard as Holt, especially as the guy started at 108.
Stop it. Everyone was all over Pac's power and speed/combinations. HOW IS THIS EVEN AN EXCUSE? GET OVER IT. How about you guys going "Omg Pac knocked Cotto down when May couldn't"
BS, Power is the last thing to leave a fighter.... Look at Foreman ect... Pac still has amazing power, However he was never able to time/ land cleanly on Bradley at the same time. Because Bradley was too slick and urban for Manny. He had no idea how to deal with that style :good
Possibly... Punching power is a natural physical talent. You don't necessarily have to be a more skilled fighter to hit harder than them.
Prime Kendall Holt is a better fighter than Pac. Period. Why don't you go back and look at the record. This isn't the first time Kendall Holt did better against a common opponent. It also gives you an idea why Pac ducked Kendall.
Fail! Knocking someone out comes down to catching them clean and usually from a punch they don't see. But who cares who hits harder? You can never really be sure.
In terms of one punch power Holt and Bailey hit harder than Pac imo. But that of course doesn't mean they are better fighters.
Manny never hurt fighters from power, he hurt people from speed.He has lost a significant amount of speed.
Sure you can... just have them step infront of somekind of punch meter machine and let them unload with their best shots. That, or just step infront of them and let them both take turns decking you in the face. :!: Any volunteers?
