Who hit harder, Kostya Tszyu or Manny Pacquiao

The pure punching power of Pac may be slightly underrated but i voted for Tszyu, who had serious power with his favourite shot.

 

more importantly speed! So many flash knockdowns. Then after he's given you the E Honda thousand-hand-slap, you're so dizzy it doesnt take much to finish them off.

Tszyu, had good timing himself and was very accurate. He also loaded up more. Tszyu i'd say clearly takes this, he had gamebreaking one punch effectiveness

 

E-Honda! Quality

 

Voted Tszyu but Manny's biomechanics have improved a lot (semi) recently, he gets excellent leverage in his punches.

 

:rofl

Me and a few mates were watching him against Cotto when one of them just randomly shouted '**** me, he looks like that fat ****ing sumo wrestler bloke out of Street Fighter!'.

Doesn't look like he was on his own after all.

 

Tszyu

 

By the time Pacquiao's done, it might look different to me, but I'm going with KT too. Not Kombucha tea, Kostya Tszyu.

 

Kt

 

Kostya

 

Wow 16-0, I thought it was pretty close, Hatton and Cotto had good chins and Pacquaio really broke them, especially Hatton. I remember predicting Hatton would get smashed in 2 rounds by Tyszu

 

I do think Hatton's beard was much sturdier before Mayweather and that turnbuckle stopped him. He took a lot of brutal shots from KT from what I remember.

 

KT was on the back foot and/or not getting full extension on his shots though, Ricky was beating him to the punch allot to

 

I think a lot of good fighters would be hurt by the shots KT was getting off.

 

I believe Tszyu is a bigger pure puncher than Pacquiao is, but Pacquiao is much faster. Also Hatton fought Tszyu when he was past his best, although he still had a belt. Many of Paqcuiao's stoppages were a result of his speed and the opponent never seeing the punch coming, as was the case with Hatton.
