Pacquiao's will to win

[MaD RoBoT]

i think Pac needs to dig deep & show his desire to beat Floyd if the fight pushes thru

it's one of his traits that made him what he is now, and probably the one thing that will bring his A game coming to the fight

Pac's hunger has been in the decline for some time now, and i can't blame him coz he already achieved what every boxer has possibly dreamed of

his mind is mostly pre-occupied with everything he's right now whether it's politics or business or whatever

for him, fighting Floyd whether he wins or lose really doesn't make his boxing "mission statement" satisfied, in my opinion it's going to be his swan song in order to give way for his political career

thoughts?

i agree in a way

its a well known fact that pac let mosley off the hook


against marquez, pac didnt even look like he cared, i think he got bored of fighting marquez in the middle, and his mind was obviously elsewhere...freddie roach reminded him sometime around the 7th or 8th round that he had to pick it up and he proceeded to sweep the rest of the fight and win by a large margin

fact is he beat marquez by a big margin, and he wasnt even trying for a large portion of the fight

Paqciao practically thumbed his nose at Ariza in his last fight with Marquez. He didn't do what Ariza wanted him to do. He just did a lot of running and most of his regimen consist of punching a bag and shadow boxing. His sparring sessions were not even impressive.

In contrast, Marquez did all the things his conditioning coach wanted him to do.

I also read that Ariza wanted Pac to minimize running or use his feet less in favor of swimming and perhaps a solution to leg cramps.

Paq better not fire Ariza for his next fight with Floyd.

i guess the fire isn't there anymore, any fight from here on will be all about money

It's obvious that he felt really bad with his lackluster performance against Marquez, and even alot of his countrymen felt he lost that fight, and you can tell that it really bothered him. I agree that with fame, he kinda lost your hunger, and it can be said about everyone really. But in a way, having a close fight with Marquez is probably the best thing to happen for us fans, because at least that gave Pac a reality check and that hopefully he'd be hungrier next time around.

Pac lost his fire. Instead of going out guns blazing the last few rounds in the Marquez fight, he spit out his mouthpiece.

More like I'm coming to knock PAC out and I'm not leaving it to the hands of the judges. Plus I ain't going to run like coward Mosley.

It was the same thing for Marquez III and Pacquiao wasnt able to beat a 38 year old Marquez moving up in weight .





Pacquiao carries extra passion to beat archrival Marquez :


“This is one of the most important fights I have had,” Pacquiao, also a member of Congress representing Sarangani province, said.


“With the aggressiveness Manny has had in training, I’m sure that’s what he’s looking for,” Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach said.

“He has a little extra fire in him. His attitude is aggressive. He wants this fight badly . . . If Manny puts him down I don’t think he will get up,” he added.
