Right, but let me clarify that a bit, though. One reason pac doesn't seem to have that much power is that he use quick combos most of the time. Combos in quick succession aren't the strongest of punches. Just like Juan Diaz who almost exclusively throw combos that don't knock out opponents with one shot but nevertheless put them into submission later by accumulation. The reason pac didn't KO Larios was that he almost exclusively used quick combos in that fight, but he did manage to knock him down twice with them - and I have to emphasize that it is extremely difficult to put down an opponent with swift combos...BUT...

But when pac throws one of those single, dedicated power shots, usually his left straight, hook or an uppercut, that's where you see his real power. He used to KO his opponents with one shot. He knocked Barrera with one of those in the 1st fight. He did that to Morales couple of times, rocking and throwing Erik several feet into the ropes with one of them. He lifted the body of 3kbattery several inches with his uppercut, a guy who's never been knocked out prior to that and even after that - the guy who Molitor beat just recently. I've been aching to see pac throw one of those 'single dedicated shots' instead of swift combos, cuz those were the punches where he Kd'd or Ko'd the 'unknockoutable' fighters.
