Or is that he's been given opponents that make him look that way ? have you noticed all of Manny Pacquiao's opponents have all been come forward fighters ? that's not the style that trouble's Manny Pacquiao.

Guy's like Margarito, Hatton, are cannon fodder for Manny Pacquiao, i don't really think Manny Pacquiao has improved since he destroyed David Diaz at Lightweight.
I've got to disagree with you there, Pacquiao has improved immensely since he started moving up in weight, especially in his power and skill level.
Has he though ? he knocked out Hatton i'll give you that, but Hatton had no defence and was being rocked by former Lightweight's like Lazcano. I just think Manny Pacquiao is so much faster than his opponents that he overwhelms them, i don't think his power is any real better than when he beat up David Diaz.

The style that trouble's Manny Pacquiao is a counter punching style, not someone who comes forward looking to exchange punches. Which is what all of Manny Pacquiao's opponents have been since JMM, i think its style issue here.
I'm not trying to argue, but you don't think blasting out Hatton, busting up Oscar, Cotto, and Margarito (all bigger men) showed an improvement in Pacquiao's power?
