Besides the fighters mentioned: Alexis Arguello Henry Armstrong Nonito Donaire Roy Jones Jr James Toney
From 2010 to 2021 Pac had 1 stoppage (in the last 12 years of his career) From 1998 to 2009 Pac had 25 stoppages (the 12 years prior) You can't say he carried his power up to WW. He definitely carried it up to Featherweight and Lightweight, and even Jr WW based on his 1 fight there though it's not much of a sample.
Donaire for me...I thought Walters was far to big for him...and he was...but....**** that left hook woulda dropped pretty much anyone n Walters was worries for a minute... Even frampyon a weight higher wasn't in a mad rush to trade with nonito
He carried it well. Was it the same as when he was fighting Flyweights? No. But as he moved up from 108-140 he carried it extremely well did he not? That's 32 lbs difference! Even at 147 he was KD fighters, some which had never been KD, and breaking faces, some which had not been broken. Its funny to see Pacquiao die hards try to convince people that Pacquiao did not carry his power up.
I agree he carried up to 140 but I always said at WW he was struggling to knock people out cause he was too small. That's nothing new. Partly was cause he was getting old, partly because he too small.
I dont think mosley carried his power. He lost a lot (a lot of everything, power too, I think) when he moved up.
Really? He had alot of significant KOS at 147, and 154. Kos over Rivera, willy wise, Antonio Diaz, Margarito, Mayorga, Vargas.. he rocked Floyd and Oscar in the rematch with good left hooks. I feel like he carried up his power pretty well.
He was 31 wins 29 kos when he left lightweight, 93% ko. He still hit hard when he went up, but that ridiculous amount of power (because that record is ridiculous for a lightweight) diminished a while. Not much, but it was not the same anymore. I could be wrong, though, many years have passed, my opinion is more a feeling than a fact. I have problems remembering mosley's fights with detail tbh. I just rember thinking he was a GOD when he was in smaller weights and that he was not-such-a-god when he moved up. Time flies :'(
Thank You! I'm sick of the criticism, about his power waning off at WW. People forget he started pro at 106 for gods sake and still had scary power at 147. The look on Sugar Shanes face when Pacman dropped him said it all. Shane was retreating the whole fight after that and actually wanted to quit but Brother Naseem had to motivate him to keep going. I'm a Big Shane fan btw I'm just not bias like many peope on here are.
