Pacquiao losing his killer edge?

He might need a new trainer in all seriousness, I think Roach has taught him all he needs to know. It's time someone teaches him how to utilize his offense against moving targets, either that or go back using his straight left hand like a madman, the fact that I haven't seen that Manny could be attributed to lack of killer instinct.

Man stop it all the stuff Pacquiao has done outside the ring but we don't care about that it's what happens inside the ring and if they were to fight Mayweather will school Pac period it's just based off skills boxing ability fundamentals boxing iq everything Mayweather is just better. Mayweather knows Pac has no chance at all without Ped's so when they both take the test you will see that it won't even be close Mayweather knows he's a great fighter naturally when Pac doesn't have Ped's in him you are gonna see that they should have never even put Pacquiao's name in the same breathe as Mayweather as far as greatness goes Mayweather wants to show the whole world that he's light years ahead of Pacquiao. If Pacquiao fight's natural Mayweather might stop him in the later rounds Pacquiao is gonna get countered so much it's rediculous. Pac is not gonna be able to let his hands go with all these punches because of what's coming back super fast counters to the face. This fight wont be close Mayweather dominates. This is not a personality contest this is boxing and even though Mayweather seems like an a hole in the ring he schools Pac period.

that video says it all, Manny is running for his life, he's running all the way to church. He know he'll get embarrassed by Mayweather; Floyd would make him look like an amateur. Then why Floyd suddenly asked for OST against Pacquiao or no fight. He also agreed to 50/50 back then and said all Pacquiao need to do is to agree to no cut off days but when Pac finally agreed to OST without cut off days, now he doesnt want to give Pac 50/50 anymore. Floyd is only bark like a dog but he tucked his tail inside his butt while in doing so.

feel free to explain how exactly he would go about doing this? Floyd 40 previous fights he never ask for special test but when he was about to fight Pacquiao he trembled in fear because he cant believe how Pac destroying his opponents including Oscar, Hatton and Mosley, so he asked for OST. FEAR for Pacquiao is Floyd biggest enemy to overcome.

Marquez exposed him.. that´s all that video says it all, Manny is running for his life, he's running all the way to church. He know he'll get embarrassed by Mayweather; Floyd would make him look like an amateur.

If you can't out box Marquez 3 times not once or twice but 3 times if you cant do that than you can't beat Mayweather im sorry. Between the first and 2nd fights he waited what 4years to fight him again and they said Pac improved and all this in stuff before the fight. 2nd fight comes and Marquez schools him so in 4 years time you couldn't figure out how to beat a counterpuncher in 4 whole years you couldn't figure that out not only that but a counterpuncher who you are faster and stronger than and you still cant outbox him? Then how long was it between the 2nd and 3rd fight another 4 years maybe so you got 4 more years so in 8 years total you couldn't figure out how to beat a slower weaker older counterpuncher but you improved? So if you are Pac you are younger, stronger, bigger, punch harder and in 8 yrs you cant beat the guy convincingly anyway an you think he will beat Mayweather LOL. Oh and on top of all that Marquez defense and footwork isn't great it's not horrible but it's not great but somehow Pac is suppose to scholl Mayweather man stop it. Yall don't even believe the stuff you type. Keep talking because you know Arum will never let the fight happen Pac is happy to fight Bradley and maybe a couple more fighter's who cant couner or box well and retire. That's good enough for Pacquiao fans because if the fight ever happens alot of Pacquiao fans won't watch because the they know Pac is gonna get schooled!!!! Oh and his edge went with the ped's and roids hards to swing wild from round 1-12 when you don't have ped's in you.

Pac hasn't had the killer instinct for a few years. Margarito, Mosley, Clottey, and even Cotto were carried somewhat in their fights.

Money is important but so are fighters that get you up. I believe PAC felt he would KO JMM. PAC was motivated for Oscar because it was a big jump in weight, and I feel cotto too. He didn't like people saying he can't take the power. He at least respected brackets underrated record but I don't even know if he knows Bradley. So in essence his only motivation was Cotto at a disadvantaged weight. Again, money.

thats cause mosley and marquez was a challenge, they get hit and they hit back

I admit Pacquaio lost some of his edges but still good enough to beat that coward Floyd. Flomos using Mosley as measuring stick who lost to Pacquiao in one sided fashion is laughable and so was Marquez who as good aa Pacquiao if you look at their history. In Bradley fight will see how Pac will fair against any other opponent except Marquez because Pac last 13 fights except Marquez fights history showed he ko, tko, or beat his opponents in one sided decision. feel free to explain how exactly he would go about doing this?

I think if the Mayweather fight were to happen it would bring the beast back in Pacquiao. Pacquiao would be at his savage best. In the Mosley fight, Pacquiao kept on touching gloves with him even when he knocked him down, he should have jumped on him, but instead he allowed Mosley to buy time. Think back how he was when he stopped Barrera, absolutely relentless, didn't care about the savage beaten he was handed out to MAB Not even Mayweather would bring back that Pacquiao anymore. He's gone.

I thought that too but in recent times he just doesn't throw wildly. He tries to be defensive at times and make people miss too much now. What bought him fans was his aggressive style, now he seems not to want to get hit too much. Roach tamed him and made him more technical and it cost him his wild side, he fights less on instinct now.

Lol, i ain't buying it, same lame ass stories come out near fight night since 2008. How arum was discussed with Pacquiao's training and gives "B" fighter a "great shot" Pacquiao trains like an animal for every fight. And it will be no different. We've been down this road before.

I believe he carried Marg in the later rounds. I recall a few rounds where he seemed to talk to marg is something. As for killer instinct, PAC did show some bs mosely, when he got a ****ty kd agains him, he went mad and chased mosely. That type of pac was a glimpse of how he use to be. I think if the Mayweather fight were to happen it would bring the beast back in Pacquiao. Pacquiao would be at his savage best. In the Mosley fight, Pacquiao kept on touching gloves with him even when he knocked him down, he should have jumped on him, but instead he allowed Mosley to buy time. Think back how he was when he stopped Barrera, absolutely relentless, didn't care about the savage beaten he was handed out to MAB

Funny thing is, I think he was motivated for Marquez according to 24/7 and his sparring partners. Unusual for 24/7 to hype up how motivated the A side is as opposed to the under dog mind you. However the ariza incident tells me he is too big of an ego now and doesn't respect his training as much. He fought Marquez one fight ago and hasn't begin training yet for Bradley. Like any fighter, he's always been motivated by money--the easier obtained, the better.

The fact that he was amped to fight Cotto at a catchweight, couldn't be bothered to do it at another weight, and can't get up for Bradley tells you where his motivation lies.

The fire is gone. As previous posters have eluded to, he is tamed. The "wildcat" Pacquiao is no more. That was when he was the most dangerous and what Mayweather was so afraid of. Floyd saw the fire was gone and is now openly calling him out.

Cotto ran from him though, much the same as Mosley, and Pac put a beating on him. Those just looked like two different guys in the ring to me. When Cotto ran that fight really dropped off, Manny got frusterated. I guess he did a better job on Cotto but not to the point where I would put that on Manny really I would put that down to difference between Mosley and Cotto. Mosley is not the greatest technical boxer but he is a hard guy to beat down, Cotto on the other hand once he gets forced back his ability level goes way down. TBH I expected more out of Manny once he forced Cotto back like that, I didn't think he would have a problem stopping him.

He got tamed, he ain't wild no more. It's his political ambitions that "tamed" him... Before he ran for office, he couldn't give two sh1ts about what he does, fvcks every actress he co-stars with. Now he wants to buddy up with the Catholic church and is overly concerned of public criticisms. He shouldn't have ran for office when he did, it's not like he is old or anything. He could have waited 'till he is completely retired from boxing. But then again, he wanted to use his boxing popularity to win the election.
