        Yes. He is compassionate against his opponents, conditionally. I have noticed that Pacquiao carries his opponents if he doesn't feel threatened by them in the ring. He takes his foot off the gas and sort of fights at their level. This has been the case against guys like Clottey, Mosley, and Rios. I would say Margarito and Cotto, even; though, he put a bad beating on both since they came to fight early on. However, with Marquez there was true animosity between the two, and this was reflected during the 4th fight, especially. That was a very violent fight and it was proof that Pacquiao still has that old fire, it just has to be brought out under the right circumstances. I think the violent Manny would show up against Bradley, given the robbery, and against Mayweather, given the trash talking.

            It's much more difficult for Pacman to knockout guys who are much larger than he his. Margarito would not have been ko'd by Pacman like he was against Mosley but he could have been TKO'd from the punishment he took like Cotto. Ur right when you say Pac ain't in his prime anymore and I think his fist/knuckles begin to ache after 7-8 rounds of brutalizing his opponents.

            I think he'd look for the KO against Mayweather

              dont know if you're watching or just looking for the result, his style changed, he's not that monster in the ring now, he's not blitzing guys anymore, he's got smarter though
