Weight Gain: De Le Hoya vs Pac

[Fenster]

Floyd pretty much stopped knocking people out when he went north of 130. Manny moved up to 130 and beyond and his KO percentage improved and he's now beating up elite welterweights.

That can be explained by their styles - Pac is a non-stop attack merchant, Floyd is defensive minded.

Well, styles does help explain some but Pac's KO rate went up as he went up. Style alone doesn't do that. I don't want to make it out to be that Pac has to be on something. It could be coincidental. And as humans we speculate when we don't have the answers.

KO rate doesn't mean shit, that depends on who you fight.

Floyd never had the explosive power behind his speed that Pac showed. They were/are completely different fighters.
