    Have there been any? Sluggers aren't really known for being fast.

    Younger Pacquiao was definitely a slugger.

    When you say sluggers do you just mean big hitters or do you mean stylistic sluggers?

    Steele, Duran, Jackson, Tyson, Benn, Pryor, Lausse, Nazarov, Tszyu pre-97, Corrie Saunders, Chakhkiev, Diego Chaves

    Shane Mosley

    His "power-boxing" style is a speedy slugger-like style.

    A very young Manny maybe.

    As much as I make fun of him, I never considered Pac a slugger. It's always been his speed and technique that makes him deadly. Listen to the guys he KOd, they talk about his speed, angles. Listen to common opponents between Floyd and Pac, they always say about the same power with a slight edge to Manny.

    Nope. Never heard that except from Oscar, who later clarified.

    Manny himself said Floyd doesn't have much power, so I guess he's insulting himself.

    You're talking about someone's opinion on Floyd's power in 2007 vs someone's opinion in 2015. It's clear that with each passing fights, since Cotto, Floyd has been hitting lighter and lighter. I can't tell if that's Floyd Sr as his trainer or Floyd's age, maybe a combo. But yea, not the same.

    BUMP.

    Pac's hands are still fast.
    Mathysse didn't know if Pac would shoot his right over the top or what starts as a straight left ends up an uppercut.

    FAST hands that could hurt you: Ray Robinson and Roy Jones Jr.
    @ HW Tyson.
    Tua had a fast haymaker, but he couldn't double them up cause they start to loop.
