power is the ONLY reason manny won any of those fights. his opponent in each of those fights had a superior game plan. on top of that, they were all much much better boxers at the time.
Pac may be shorter but the calves of his legs are stockier than any one in the division. This could be where the power of his punches emanates especially with his straight left.
I agree that if Cotto couldn't hurt Margo with all those flush left hooks and uppercuts than Pacman is gonna have to work pretty hard to spark him.
I'm thinking along the same lines. Only question is how long Margarito can last?, he's not going to cover up like Clottey so he's going to get hit a lot.
i wouldn't go that far, Del La Hoya was well on his way to tasting canvas. He knew it too, that's why he quite before the world saw the golden boy getting KTFO
