    8 fights since moving up. 1 legit ko, 1 stopped on his stool, 1 tko, last 5 went the distance. No stoppage in 3 years.

    Not as crazy as people think really

    Hearns was still knocking people out at Cruiser.
    RJJ deserves a shoutout from middle to lhw.
    Mosely still carried massive pop to Welter and had good power at light middle coming from lightweight.
    Oh and Oscar as well.

    Barbados Joe Walcott and Bob Fitzsimmons, one might say. And they were only on B-side meth.

    Been saying that a long time. His power at 147 especially is way overrated. It's that hand speed, stuns opponents early. You often see an early knockdown or a guy in trouble early on against Pacquiao, but his opponents tend to adjust as the fight goes on.

    also helps they all get on their bike or fight really coutious.
    Except for hatton, cotto for the first half and margarito.
    But yeah the hatton ko made pacs power overrated at 147.
    I feel he would have been more beast at 140 had he stayed there rather than move up.

    Trinidad, no question. Although there is the wrap controversy.
