Manny Pacquiao as The World's Hardest Puncher?

[Julius Rain]

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.

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.

The Mexi-Cutioner is an exceptional talent, a truely awe-inspiring Boxer but...

Pacquiao's skills cannot compensate for his distinct disadvantage in terms of size and power when Ricky Hatton and Oscar De la Hoya are the context in which these hypothetical fights are being discussed.

Should Manny elevate his weight to 140 lbs, he would surely approach this task with the intention of piling on muscle mass. This would be achievable at the cost of his speed. Manny cannot conceivably climb to Light Welterweight or even above and be expected to be succesful. For a man who I believe started at Flyweight he is already doing incredibly well and I feel that he shouldn't feel obliged to prove himself anymore than he has to in his impending Rematch with Juan Manuel Marquez.

manny should go no higher than 135.

From what I understand... The Hardest puncher p4p will ALWAYS be a heavyweight, it comes down to biomechanics.

I personally thought is was POWER TO WEIGHT RATIO .

I think he is up there p4p with Ponce De Leon , Pavlik. All time p4p it has to be Shavers. The guy could hit you in the neck and break your ankle.

I can't agree with that in comparison to bodyweight a smaller person is usually on average much stronger than a large person, same would go with punching power... if you look at PSI on a punch and compare it to body weight a smaller guy should always win. However the jaw, neck and head size attributed to bigger people does not compensate for the superior strength of the big men that is why on average a big man can take out another big man with less punches than a small guy can take out another small guy.

I think Berrio hit's harder then Pac.
