Most fighters in the lower divisions have pop. Except for Calderon.
this is meant to counter the guys that state (incorrectly) that pacquiao had no punching power in the lower weight classes and all of a sudden have punching power in the higher weight classes.
no offense to cotto and hatton but they don't really have granite chins.
torres almost put cotto away at 140 , collazo almost put hatton away as well.
is it that unimaginable to think that pacquiao moving up to 140-147 can have as much pop as torres and collazo?
pacquiao proved he has pop at 140-147 with his fights with hatton , cotto and delahoya.
let's not pretend he had no pop below 140 or that he somehow has tommy hearns power at 147 now.

Get into this mix of music: Miles Davis (Kind of Blue), John Coltrane (love Supreme), Beatles (anything), Brad Mehldau (Largo or Day is Done), Atmopsheres (Under the Trees), Rammstein (Mutter), Tom Waits (Rain Dogs), Nick Cave (Henry's Dream) Satoshi Tomie (New Breed).
Give 'em a go mate. Eclectic mix of excellent music.

if pacquiao got ktfo by cotto or delahoya , there wouldn't even be any steroids talk.
accomplishments is not proof of cheating.
if that's the case then everyone who does great is on roids.

Of those 20 wins at 122-130 , all but 3 were by Knockout.
The 3 wins that went to the scorecards were against Barrera , Marquez and Larios. All 3 of whom Pacquiao was able to knock down in his fights with them.
Don't talk about Pacquiao as if he had no power in the lower weight classes.
Of his 12 wins that he didn't get a Knockout/Technical Knockout win , 9 was when he was still in the Flyweight divisions before he was even old enough to buy alchohol. (Not even old enough to buy cigarettes in most of them)

The fact that he's overachieved with such limited skill and boxing acumen only leaves one explanation.
Well it leaves 3.
Picking the right opponents (shot), weight draining them, and steroid abuse.
