The semi-idiots (semi because they're also semi-genius for overanalyzing things) actually think that Mosley's demolition is better BECAUSE Mosley knocked Margarito out while Pac couldn't. Hey! Even Donaire couldn't even knock out a bum who outweighed him.

I agree with Brutal that it's even more impressive that Pac is able to dominate some of his opponents without being more than an average puncher. Couple with the fact that Pac loves to trade and will let his opponents occasionally hit him with their best shots flush. It's the fault of his opponents if they couldn't knock him out.

Guess what? Pacquiao was a BIG, BIG favourite to win, Margarito was paying like 5-1. Mosley was a pretty solid underdog against Margarito.

When Mosley fought him, Margarito was considered close to his peak, and his prime weight. He had never been stopped before and was regarded the #1 147 fighter at the time. Mosley in his late 30's put on a clinic and stopped a guy that hadn't been stopped like that. he cracked that iron chin.

Pacquiao on the other hand was fighting a guy that came down in weight, a guy that was a pretty big underdog and not given much a chance, and looked bad in his last fight after having a one year lay off.

Nothing wrong if you preferred Pacquiao's win, but to call people 'semi-idiots' is pretty stupid.

Well to be fair, Pac fought a bigger version of Margarito than Shane did...I'm sure the KO wouldn't have come as easy for Shane if Tony didn't need to suck all the way down to 147.

That's the nature of boxing. Sounds like an awfully poor excuse as to why Pac couldn't get the stoppage against some bum with one eye.

Pac showed mercy in the last round, anyone without their Floyd coloured glasses on could see that. He didn't sit down on his punches and really did just enough and no more. In other words Pac showed mercy. Personally I wouldn't have but hey it is what it is. If that is a an awfully poor excuse in your eyes than so be it.

He fought one that was out of the ring for a year, one that had his chin cracked by Mosley and he may be bigger, but was he better? After all, isn't his record as a light middle something like 1-2?

Pac is a better fighter, throws better combos but Mosley is a bigger puncher...he has more raw strength and power....I mean Pac landed 1000 punches on Margarito...Mosley knocked the fuck out of Margarito....shit he hurt Margarito in the first round right away.

[The Ollie Reed F...]

I've always argued that Pac's power is nothing special. His speed, stamina and accuracy yes, but power no. All these dudes keep saying how it's suspicious that he's bought all this power up through the weight classes but really he hasn't.

He had to throw everything plus the kitchen sink at Oscar and Cotto to get the stoppage yet they both finished the fights on their feet. He didn't move Clottey and Margarito went the full 12.

His accuracy and speed will hurt you but not fatally. The key is in the sheer volume with which he hits you, a trademark from his earliest days.

And Cotto really could've finished that fight.

pacs power is well above average actually, but not elite power. I believe he hits harder than say floyd, but not nearly as hard as tommy hearns

See I think Floyd actually hits quite hard but due to his hand problems always hold back a little.

When Pacquiao doubled Margarito over with bodyshots in the 4th round I was sure it was over. For whatever reason, he stopped going to the body. Mosley didn't, which is why he got the stoppage.
