Pacquiao's power = Overrated!

[mnbv]

multiple punches can kill you slowly without noticing it and more brutal and a very entertaining for the viewers. hugging, running and wrestling inside the ring will never make you a good boxer , and not entertaining to watch.

its worst to get pummeled by heavy hands repeatedly than just to get discombobulated with one punch... or thats what some say

[Verstyle]

Hey thread starter, you should make a thread on how the fighters Tyson, Shavers, Foreman, Jackson they didn't KO and say their power is overrated, pretty simple to do, ya know?

[strugler]

If rated as 1 punch KO power then it is.................it does have a significant pop in .....how many division again?.............LOL

[i-box]

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.

well that's what we have to find out come may 2nd.
is hatton gonna try to outbox manny?
if he cant will he hit and hold again?
if he does will manny allow him to do it?
etc etc...
they all have their gameplans dude.
but execution is what's important.
we just have to wait and see

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?

co-sign.

pac's fighting style isn't about planting your feet then punching with all your might like there's no tomorrow.he throw's 3-4 punches then darts out.
nobody can maintain pac's handspeed and workrate for 12 full rounds and have
KO power in all of your punches.that's just plain impossible.

I'm going to be honest; I don't see Pacquiao hurting Hatton. But that's different than saying Pacquiao's power is overrated. His power comes from two places. First, speed. Second, the fact that he's usually bigger than his opponent.

No I don't think that he's a huge one punch puncher like some people think that he is. And I don't even think he would KO Hatton, like many people think that he will, but he's a good solid puncher with a lot of speed. So, you never know.

try to get better hate material, clown

[Ido]

He is no Edwin Valero. He relies on applying pressure, and overwhelming his opponent with a volume of punches.

[Left Hook Tua]

wow.

a guy who had one punch ko power at flyweight has less punching power the higher he moves up in weight?!?!?!?!?

crazy!



pacquiao is still punching the same and probably has increased power than he did at the lower weights. the difference is he is now hitting bigger and bigger fighters which can take stronger punches.

some guys know nothing about boxing......
