I agree. Pacquaio, Darchinyan and Bailey are all very hard hitters for their weights.

Yea, and obviously those two guys(moreso Pacquiao) dwarf Bailey as far as ability goes, but on a one punch basis I think he blows either of them right out of the water. Bailey just lacks the skillset to set up his right hand differently, Pacquiao is so fast and unorthodox that he can pull the trigger at basically any point in the fight, going backwards or forwards, off balance, etc. from many different angles. Bailey really just has that one straight right hand that follows the jab, but if he lands it, he's doing serious damage to his opponent, whether they see it coming or not. On that basis I think he's got to be considered one of the best pure punchers in the sport. Hell, for his weight he may pack more of a punch than anyone has in a long time.

Yes he is a HUGE puncher with that right hand. Its just all he has really. His jab isn't all that good, or his hook or uppercuts or combos.

He just stalks his opponent firing one-twos and lead right hands. Occasionally a jab, jab, straight right as well.

That shot he caught Frankie Figuerero with was something else.
