    Look at the list of fighters he has fought since his last ko.
    The only person with a ko loss on his record is margarito.the fact that he is always the smaller fighter and he has fighters running from him tell you he has plenty of power

    It's not raised. He set the bar himself.

    He moved up in 2009 and ran through six WWs in a row, winning by stoppage or pummeling.

    Then he struggles or gets stopped during the course of 4 fights with 2 psuedo WWs. Naturally, people will wonder what happened. It doesn't help that Freddie is always talking about Pac is gonna KO this guy or that guy.


    With Floyd same thing. He set the bar himself by beating guys easily and not taking any punishment. Then he gets rocked 2x by Mosely, get his nose busted in the Cotto fight and struggles with Maidana. Naturally, people will wonder what happened. It doesn't help that Floyd is always calling himself TBE.

    Uhhh what are you arguing here? Isn't it Pac fans that keep harping on he's gonna knockout whoever he's fighting leading up to the fight?

    It's raised to where he set it. He had a lot of knockouts coming up an that made him the star he is. Now that he's older and fighting in a heavier division people still expect him to perform like he did in his twenties and he was a bantamweight.
