Pacquiao losing his killer edge?

[PACsmash]

when pac was coming up he was fighting for something, he was fighting for a name, fighting for a place in boxing history. now that he has other things going for him it seems like he doesnt have to depend on boxing to make a name for himself or for his people. he has found other things like his political caeer that he can do so he doesnt depend on boxing like he used too.

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.

or has he already lost it. He's already talking about hitting each other not being so good. Dude didn't look the same against marquez and mosley. When did he lose his edge?

yes its gone

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
