    against diaz he had to beat the **** out of him before he went down

    against oscar he beat the utter **** out of him and he still never went down

    against hatton he looked devastating




    so just how good is the pacman's power?

    It is not so much about his sledging power, but moreso his concussive, explosive power.

    And yes, he has a lot of concussive power.

    I have already posted this . . . but I'll post it again.

    There was no plan to KO both Diaz and DLH early. It was suppose to be in the later rounds. So Diaz went down at the 9th, DLH quit before the KO could happen . . . so lighten up and fix your story.

    He accelerates when he punches, more power.

    Hard to say, Oscar has an incredible chin so I don't really think it can be used as a good gauge.

    One thing that should be mentioned is that Diaz and Hatton both got KO'd by shots they didn't see. My theory that is that while Pac has great punching power, the lethality of his shots comes from the speed and angles. They come quickly and out of nowhere and usually hit right on the button and that's the real killer I think.

    I agree. PacMan's speed plus his very good power make up for a lot of those KO's; however, Hatton NEVER saw that punch coming thus the lights out for Hatton.

    I agree with Ringnut. It's the speed - therefore, punches you don't see coming - and perfect punch placement.

    ^^^ Exactly, Oscar has a very good chin. Perhaps one of the best in recent years. Hatton's chin had been turned to mulch and Diaz can take his beatings well.

    Doesn't change the fact Pac didn't loose a round against any of them and KOed/TKOed them all.

    His power is decent.

    He probably meant MP hit cleaner and crisper.

    AM has heavier hands.

    Pac has good power. It's not as though he can knock you out with any punch the way someone with huge power might. JMM got up from 3 knockdowns to give Pac what many might call an L on his record. The punch from Pac that put Hatton on his face on the canvas was picture perfect and Hatton was lunging into it. Pac knew, thanks to the wonderment that is Freddie Roach, that Hatton liked to lunge in and throw a 'jab' (he did it over and over against Malignaggi and got knocked out by Floyd doing the same thing) and so all he had to do was time him on the way in.

    LMFAO. That is the shittest move trailer I have ever seen. Seriously, Pac needs to be thinking about Cotto not making WakkaPakkaMan.
