Who Exactly Was 5' 4" Manny Pacquiao Supposed To KO @ Welterweight (?)

This is a pretty stupid thread.

Being the first/only person to k.o a good/durable fighter is the sign of a powerful puncher. Tyson, for example, was the first and only person to k.o Holmes who had more than 60 fights. It doesnt make any sense to consider someone a hard puncher then make excsuses when they fail to stop a "durable" fighter--thats the whole point, to see if their mythical power is effective at the elite level.

Being unable to k.o several fighters means you obviously arent some sort of monster top tier puncher, especially if some of those same fighters were later stopped by other fighters.

This is common sense.

 

Pac was able to compete at ww, that in no way makes him a ww. And in inoue "going up to lhw" isn't remotely close. Look at the difference in size of those fighters, it's so much easier moving up through the lighter divisionside. Hell, starting at 112, a few pounds at the most and it's another division.

Pac was routinely coming into the ring mid 140's and that was as far back as 126. The dude cut weight successfully like no other, maybe like a canelo or a Chavez Jr.

If you're denying the facts that makes you a fool, not ignorant just a flat out fool

 

I know you meant this as a joke . But it is actually true, we all lose some height as we age. So yes pac can lose half an inch every five years

 

Good post. I post something similar without all the good details.

 

Smart ass

 

One thing I noticed when they fought: Floyd is taller but much skinnier. He didn't look like he had a huge size advantage.

 

When my fighter, or team, loses, I don't make excuses.

Pacquiao went on a nearly 10 year no KO streak after he fought Cotto. He was always tiny for WW and the PED accusations was just Floyd throwing shade cause Pac hurt his ego.
