KO rate doesn't mean shit, that depends on who you fight.
Floyd never had the explosive power behind his speed that Pac showed. They were/are completely different fighters.
KOs are not meaningless. De la Hoya did have that explosiveness at the lower weights. And its not like Pac fought easy opponents. In a debate I'm open to whatever is reasonably possible. Obviously you don't believe Pac was on any PEDs. But do you think its possible that Pac is/was on PEDs? If not, then we'll just be arguing in circles and we should leave it alone.
It doesn't matter whether or not Pac was on PEDs. I'm saying you can't use KO percentage to judge the power of two differnent fighters, with two different styles, fighting different opponents as they move up in weight.
If Pac took drugs then i'm sure they made him more powerful. But he was an aggressive, KO puncher at the lighterweights.. so hardly surprising he still KO's people up in weight.
