    yeah man. I'm not accusing him of steroids if that's what people think I'm doing. He has a higher Ko ratio in the lower weights, but I think he's gotten a stronger and more powerful and he hasn't gotten much slower some would say faster and he's bigger.

    And knocking out naturally bigger guys. Those are some shakes. most guys do'nt have ko power as they move up in weight. Because they are hitting naturally bigger guys with stronger chins ! look at most guys who have moved up throught history!

    Why can't most people at esb accept the fact that pac did not really move up in weight but simply stop draining himself. Note that as far back as morales 2 and 3, he was already in the 140's at fight night.

    Or would hatton go below flyweight and KO a flyweight pacman back then?

    Cmon guys.

    Pac's power at flyweight has more pop, and he was at his 20's back then. as he grows up, his body improves, his techniques improve, and he doesnt have to drain himself up while moving up divisions. Just compare Floyd's career. he has more power than in the higher weights, but we should know that Floyd has brittle hands so as he goes up the weight, the density of his opponents get bigger also, and the more his hands get more brittle. Had Floyd have stronger fists, he would not just counter, he would KO the best in 154!

    Juan Manuel Marquez!!! Defo his skills develop more as he gets older. He gets more leverage in his punches with his improved skill. who would imagine he could KO Diaz, Casa with his age?

    Hasegawa, although he's more a case of someone learning how to really, really PUNCH

    true, but at his present weight, he has an awesome power, considering his age.

    Maybe the skills, but not the power. He wasn't able to KO Diaz in their 2nd fight. He got embarassingly dominated by Floyd in 147. But Pac kept dominating bigger boxers in 147 to 150.

    Ok I agree with you tol. juan's performance is already deteriorating due to his age, but but imo his power at 135 has a bit more pop than his power below 135, considering his level of opposition and weight division, maybe because he's at a more comfortable weight than at 126. it's not about juan's performance at 140 and up coz we're talking about a boxer's power as he gets older:rasta

    Albert Davila was never a big puncher but he went from light puncher to decent puncher as he got older.

    Shane Moseley
    Evander Holyfield
    Juan Marquez
    Shanon Briggs
    Carlos Palomino
    Matthew Saad Muhamad
