he was also accused of juicing when he was dominating the welters... so how come he was so strong on the lower weights knocking everybody out, and weaker on the welterweights and cannot KO anyone anymore @ 147 and up... his last KO victory was hatton @ 140, right? cuz if he's gonna be juicing, its should be against the welters, right? it's currently the most famous division of boxing, bigger opponents, and most lucrative fights? so why wasnt he able to KO any welters if he's so juiced up and roided?
and how come an already 39 yr. old jmm suddenly became a 1-punch-ko machine overnight? =)
pacquiao cannot go down anylower anymore as he will be drained... he got fatbones w/c is too heavy so he'll be reducing too much flesh just to make weights...being a welter suits him well, he cant go up also cuz he's too small and be at risk of getting hit for being slow... margarito manage to damage pac's kidney and was peeing blood for weeks...
he failed to put to sleep any welter because of many factors; height, mass etc... he TKO cotto, and he damaged margarito good, mosley was quick and too experienced, jmm was never put to sleep by anybody, and bradley, cannot be K-down even by a provotnikof, plus pac wasnt the same fighter as he was in the featherweight also...
he hits hard because of the way his punches sounds inside the arena... it's crisp, the obvious result can be seen on the swollen sometimes bleeding faces of his opponents... cotto's face and margaritos eye damage was more than proof enuf...when jmm was asked who between floyd and manny hits harder? jmm said it's pacquiao!!!
I've always thought that Manny never carried his full power at 147. If you'd look at his record, in 8 fights in the welterweight division, he only has 2 stoppages (TKO) against De la Hoya and Cotto to show, but not a single K.O. win. Also, I think, he's declined considerably due to mileage and wear and tear on his body from all those tough wars with Morales, Barrera, Marquez, Cotto and Margarito.
Well Pacquiao power came from a mixture of his hand speed and power,though he also lost some of his good head movement and his in and out footwork making him take more punishments.
Because he has been fighting natural Middleweights lately. He started as a flyweight. He hasn't been knocking them out cold, but he has managed to get some knockdowns in fights.
It's the same reason my dad doesn't ko people anymore; he's over the hill
He stoped taking PEDs, Now he's getting Knocked out
I'm a Pacquiao fan but I'm kind of wondering why he isn't knocking anyone out now when everyone says he hits so hard? Ever since Hatton he isn't doing it to anyone.
Maybe he was more suited for lightweight or junior welterweight, but the lucrative bouts were all at welterweight.
