pacquiao??

Manny at 140 IMO will not be bad off...I think it will benefit him on the weight cutting issue for sure...He just has to keep in shape not get in shape to make weight comfortably...There are guys at 140 I would say hits a lot less hard then Pacquiao...Yet not with the output or speed...People will be surprised at how easily he makes the adjustment and if for some rerason he can't well he can drop back down to his comfort zone again

I know he doesn't have the power behind his punches that some guys do at 140 or 147, but maybe it is how hard he closes his hand or something, but he seems to bust guys up, you wouldn't expect him to. He definitely fast, but his power bothered Oscar, and that surprised me because you would have to go way back to see the last time Oscar was rocked by a shot upstairs. Mayweather and Hopkins hurt Oscar to the body, but Pacquiao hurt him upstairs, I think he never seriously hurt Oscar to the body, but he knocked some of the wind out of Oscar's sails with body shots.

Much of that can be the old "With speed comes power" addage or "The shot that hurts most is the one you don't see coming"

Pac is more vicious at higher weight class coz he doesn't give his opponent the merciful one-punch knock out. He slowly torture them and get the KO win. Just ask Diaz or DLH. Next victim is Hatton.

but we can't take away the fact that Hatton will surely prepare for this fight and will definitely give Pacman a real good fight (compared to the previous match). now we will see another real exciting fight. wee...

He is a genetic freak. you can't really call it the 'extra' weight. because when he added those pounds he pack on muscles on his massive calves and his back. thus making his legs more stable and explosive. and thats where the power comes from. it's called kinetic linking. unlike most guys who moved up in weight u see them with bigger arms, chest and often a flabby stomach. with Pac he has adjusted very well by packing those muscles on the right places. I think his chin isn't a suspect. Marquez hits hard. Morales hits hard. and so is Barrera. they may not be as physically imposing and as brute as Ricky but if we're talking about punching power they arent really significant differences. Now IMO the key here for Ricky is to 'bully' Pac. Not to knock him out with a single punch.

I agree. Ricky has a higher chance of winning if he bullies Pac. If he goes to KO pac, Ricky will go down way worse than Diaz.
