Pacquiao's power = Overrated!

You sure love Pacquiao, ha Xaret?

Pac's work-rate will be cut in half due to Hatton's lead left hook and clinch tactic. (similar to Hopkins lead right hand - clinch style against Calzaghe) Plus, he's fighting in a higher weight division so his power will be even more tame.

If Hatton is able to clinch the "elusive" Pacquiao, It will take Pac 20+ rounds to stop Hatton on accumulation... but he's only got 12, so I don't see it happening.

hey,xcaret's lover got the same predition!

pac never had 1 punch KO power... no one is saying that

[dannyl15]

I dont think Hatton can take Pacquaio's punches. I do believe Pacquaio hits harder than Mayweather and Mayweather knocked Hatton out badly, Hatton didn't look like he could take his punches. Who does Mayweather ever knock out like that? Pacquiao throws way more than Mayweather does so I see the same result only a round sooner. Hatton is not as skilled as Pacquaio is.

David Diaz also said Pacman's punch does not have a lot of power. It was the accumulation and speed of pacquiao's punches that made the kill

LoL, thanks for posting info we already knew captain obvious. His power isn't overrated. It is what it is. Accumulative type based on his heavy hands. He hits hard, no doubt, but not 1 punch KO type of hard. It's the kind where you get hit, you can take the punch, but over 12 rds? Those punches begin to feel like sledgehammers as the body is already worn down. I don't think too many people here thought Manny had 1 punch KO power since he hasn't had a 1 punch KO since what? Emmanuel Lucero back at 122lbs?

The problem is that Hatton won't allow the accumulation due to the clinch, so will Pacquiao be able to land ENOUGH punches to get Hatton hurt if his work-rate is cut in half? I don't think so. One-punch KO artist like Judah would be Hatton's worst nightmare, with precision counter-punchers like Mayweather being a close second.

Accumulation punchers like Pacquiao will be ineffective due to their punches being smothered, or not being able to let their hands go from the clinch. (Bhop over Calzaghe) He doesn't have enough power in the few punches he will land (compared to his usual work-rate) so Hatton will not be fazed at all.

how would you know what ricky will allow,have you been with him?...try harder maybe he'll let you do what you wanna do but please keep it to yourself.you prolly fantasize about pac too but he kicked your ass bigtime in that dream that's why you just can't get over it!

Pac lands everything but the kitchen sink, yet Larios makes it to the 12th round. Pac gets hurt by his right hand as well. Larios moved up in weight, first fight at 130.



Larios getting picked apart with precision and KTFO cold with a single straight right hand down the middle.



Here we see David Diaz getting grilled with a single shot... He gets KTFO in the 8th round.



Pac hitting Diaz with every shot in the book, yet it has no effect on Diaz until he finally gets stopped from the accumulation. If he had any defense or movement at all he would have lasted the the 12th round easily. Diaz was able to pin Pacquiao against the ropes on several occasions... but he has no skills at all so he didn't know what to do.



Barrera getting hit with everything with full force by Pacquiao. He seems confused, but never hurt at all, period.



Barrera getting KTFO by a single counter-punch.



I see no problem at all with Hatton being able to take Pacquiao's punches. His clinch will neutralize Pac's workrate, his power, stamina, and pressure will force Pac to make mistakes. Who can take who's punches better is what this fight is going to come down to. I see Hatton taking Pac's punches on the front foot better than Pac takes Hatton's punches on the back foot any day of the week, and Pac will be fighting on his back-foot. As the great Joe Louis once said, "You can run, but you can't hide". So what will Pac do when he can't hide? He's no Ali or Mayweather, he's not even an elite at all when it comes to counters. That's just the way I see it.

i get your point but I think what your videos really demonstrate is exactly how much pac has improved himself. His balance is levels above what it was then, his movement is way better, his jab much more effective and he has now grown into the 135 to 140 division. And because of all of this his power has improved. Basically he doesnt throw punches when off balance or out of position now so he generates more power when he lands. He is the definition of a complete fighter and has become a smart fighter picking his spots.
