    Did you read what wrote? Guys with granite chins were being hurt by this dude.
    Shane mosley was running away from this dude like a "little white *****" Mike Tyson and shane is known for his chin.

    Timothy Bradley was hurt several times against slow ass Provo but Pac couldn't with his speed couldn't hurt Bradley

    Clottey is also known for his chin but refused to let his hand go against Pac due to Pac hurting him with counters.

    Margarito also known for his chin looked like something out a horror movie.

    Speed does not increase as a fighter move up in weight.

    Did he stop Clottey,Margo or Mosley? So where is this amazing power you are talking about? And have you seen Pac's fights after he got stopped by Marquez? Do you think hes fighting the same way he used to ?

    He was never a big puncher in the higher weights he usually overwhelmed guys with his speed and his punch output, he could still do damage with his punches but if you think he was as big a puncher as he was in the lighter weights then you're about to receive a pm from buckdacious welcoming you to the "Dont know **** about boxing" Crew.

    No he was hurting them like no other boxer has ever done before. Guys in the lower weight classes were able to sustain Pac's power and actually fight back and you have large welter weights refusing to throw, afraid of being countered with a type of punch power that they have never felt before.

    I never said it does, but Pacquiao was a lot faster than Clottey, Cotto, Mosley, Margarito and De LA Hoya, which helped him hurt the guys he was fighting. Through catching them with shots they don't see coming at odd angles.

    The reason I mention Pacquiao's knock outs where more a combination of his speed, angles and Power above 147 lbs is because Pacquiao was a bigger puncher at the lighter weights.

    He is, actually. If you think susceptibility to knockdowns is the primary defining factor in evaluating chins then YDKSAC.

    and he was breaking Bradley's ankles and making his calf muscles cramps because you could say he was "afraid" of being hit by Pac that he moved around more than usual. he also rearranged Rios' face. Pac's beatdown of opponents is more because of his speed, workrate (accumulation of punches) and timing. of course he has power but it's not the same when he was at the lower weights 112-122 where he can virtualy one-punch KO. Hatton is a case of right timing and Hatton was taking great punishment early.

    so much stupidity here.

    Different fighters have different types of power, based on various factors.

    Pacs power always came from his speed (along with timing and the accuracy of the landed power shot). His speed has declined, so... shocker.... so has his power.


    Hard to grasp, I know.

    Pac at his peak would hit you with these hard, fast punches that you often didn't see coming and this would be happening all fight. As stated earlier many of these fighters Pac has been fighting lately are strong, tough guys to knockout and it certainly doesn't help when these fighters shell up and admit to being scared of receiving punishment.

    IMO it should also be fair to say that Pac's victory over Margarito should have been a TKO... maybe Pac wouldn't have knocked him out but Margarito had no business being in those last few rounds after all the damage he sustained and that fight should have been stopped
