    I personally dont think pacqiauo, was that much of a hard puncher, it was his SPEED which really dazzled his opponents.

    Its his speeds thats gone, fighters can see his punches coming so it isnt as effective as it once was.

    Pacqiauo, really has one outstanding KO, and that was Hatton. When you look at dangerous punchers like Tua, Hamed, etc these guys put a lot of guys to sleep

    Pacqiau was more speed than power

    Bradley, Marquez and Mosley all avoided engaging Pac as much as possible, using movement to keep him constantly turning and off balance. (Even then, Pac managed to knock down the usually tough Mosley.) Margarito is known for being able to soak up punishment and keep coming, although a more sensible corner would have pulled him out in the last rounds. It's a fight that should have been stopped. Clottey spent most of the fight shelling up, and he's also known for his toughness.

    He still has power. He had Bradley's head spin around like the excorcist.

    The problem was, he couldn't land more than one shot at at time on Bradley due to his defense.

    started off as a 112 pound fighter. fights at 147 and also fights elite boxers. you cant knock out everyone when everyone has reps for not being KO'd

    It didn't go, it stayed in the needles when he realized his phobia.

    Remove him from his power source - PEDS - that his ability to punch disappears.

    He's back on it for Marquez 4 however. The last two fights previous clearly not.

    Bull! Pacquaio was in shape against Bradley, why wouldn't he have been rhetorically speaking.

    Pacquaio was in the worst shape of his career vs Bradley

    His power will be back since Ariza is back.
