    Normally I don't respond to this idiot, but seriously? If that is how you console yourself by fabricating "facts", then go nuts little boy.
    FYI...when Mosley was talking about Pacs power...he was alluding to steroids. Since then he has changed his tune about Pacs power.

    There it is! The 'margo was 180lbs on fight night' quote, that's gotta be my favourite boxing_disaster quote ever. Margo put on 33lbs overnight and came in as a cruiser weight apparently, unbelievable :lol:

    BM you really do outdo yourself sometimes.

    I wouldn't say heaviest hitter, but I'll say one of the top punchers in the welterweight division right now and the one with the strangest power.

    It's funny listening to Mosley, Bradley, Algieri explain how weird Pacquiao's power is and then Mayweather say it himself to. Pretty much solidifies it. He's a very hard puncher no doubt. Mayweather said the left hand had something about the power that he never felt before in his entire career!

    We know Pac can crack, why are you being so defensive and making this thread though? There's no form of question or discussion because you'll just find a way to make it seem like people are discrediting Manny when they're just questioning your finality of every statement.

    I think his speed plays a big factor. I don't think he is a heavy puncher, but the speed and angles in which the punches are coming at you, makes it look like he is a heavy hitter.

    It's not just that either! Bradley described Pacquiao's "weird" power because of 2 things.

    1) Every punch is a hard.
    - Bradley said most fighters first or last punch is the hardest, but with Pacquiao, every punch is very fast and every single punch is equally just as hard.

    2) The snap.
    - Bradley said he has a ton of snap that'll immediately daze you and can knock you out if he catches you with 2 or 3 more after that.

    Algieri said something interesting too. He said most fighters he has faced don't produce a lot of power when their feet aren't set, but he was pretty surprised at how Pacquiao could produce a lot of power in positions that you wouldn't think would produce a lot of power.

    Mayweather described his weird power as a "thump". He said Pac's power had a "thump" in it that he's never felt in his entire career. Perhaps that's the snap?

    Mosley said something that relates to what all three said. He said it was weird because he saw the left hand coming, but he didn't think it'd be that damaging. But when he was hit with it, he was on the ground. He didn't think it did that much damage but when he got up he said his legs were still gone and that he realized his chin was completely gone for the rest of the fight. He contributed it to steroids because "it was nothing I've ever felt in my life" but I think Pacquiao's past 3 opponents saying similar things proves otherwise.

    How little are we talking about?

    Jimmy Wilde 5'2.5" 132(99kos)-3-1, Ruben Olivares 5'5.5" 89(79KOs)-13-3, Khaosai Galaxy 5'5" 47(41kos)-1, Naseem Hamed 5'4.5" 36(31kos)-1, Alfonso Zamora 5'4" 33 (32kos)-5, Henry Armstrong 5'5.5" 151 (101 kos)-21-9, Terry McGovern 5'3" 59(44kos)-5-4

    Plus, Sandy Saddler was tall for his weight but he was in a low weight class and got over a hundred KOs. Stanley Ketchel the middleweight champ floored Jack Johnson the heavyweight champ. Mickey Walker was about five seven and fought from welterweight up to heavyweight. Roberto Duran was a murderous puncher with 20 or so first round KOs at lightweight who carried his punch up to super middleweight. Aaron Pryor was about Pacquiao's size and hit like a truck too.

    Check out the article/interview on page two of the Benny Leonard thread in the classic section. Leonard talks about how he studied physiology so that he knew were and how to hit people to greatest effect. He talks about the locations of nerve endings in the head and punching people's gut with a twist and lifting motion to push their intestine into their hearts and cause a "weakening."
