Manny Pacquiao as The World's Hardest Puncher?

[AdamGB]

I think they are putting a little too much pressure on him. The guy is only human and humans have limitations. He has already grown multiple weight classes and asking him to go beyond lightweight and being successful at it is asking too much IMO.

Definitely... his frame/heart etc can only take him up to a certain weight.

It's been a while since I saw him as a 1 punch KO fighter. His past recent KOs were mostly from his accumulation of punches. I think his hand speed were more like responsible for those KOs/KDs.

But to answer your question,... I would say hell to the no, Pac is not the worlds hardest puncher.

I like anitoKid. Hope he stays longer. He's like my substitute in this forum.

dont get me wrong i think Pac is one of the best p4p in the world....but putting him in with the likes of ODLH and Hatton is a joke. I realy cannot see how these fights would be winnable even with that cracking punch. P4p though he could be one of, if not the, hardest hitter around.

He used to be the hardest puncher p4p, but at 130 and 135 its more his speed along with his power in a RJJ sense that makes him a KO artist. He doesn't hit IMO p4p as hard as Cintron or Wladimir(who I think hits harder than Peter) or Valero, but he hits oponents with punches they don't see and at a high frequency, but at 122ish weight he hit bloody hard.

at 126 and below pac was a one hit devestating puncher, just ask jmm, mab, 3k battery, ledwaba, julio, lucero, and a whole loads more. How he puts his punches together is ten times unbareable though.

[Bomp]

Before ANY talk of a fight at 140, he'd need to clear out the divisions below to give any legitimacy for the fight. That means minimum to beat JMM and then Juan Diaz, that's a LOT of speculation. IMO the best he could do power wise is match Hatton at 140, and like Adam said, he would be giving away every other physical attribute except for speed.
