Such a thing is impossible to feel during training/sparring. IMPOSSIBLE

[Robbie Barrett]

Has't he said the same thing for the past 4 fights?

what a joke. he has his 'killer instinct' back yet he said in a quote that "the most important thing about this fight is, after the fight to speak to mayweather about the importance of Jesus in his life" or some b.s......

Manny needs to land the right hook against Floyd if he is going to be successful in this fight. If he cannot land that right hook, then he is not going to able to land nothing against him.

why's that

why's that

Because Floyd has the tendency of neutralizing a southpaw's left hand with straight right hands of his own and his left jab. This makes it very difficult for a lefty to release that hand for fear of being countered by Money's quick short rights. Subsequently, making them more tentative and reluctant than usual in throwing them.

Pacquiao admitted to being hurt by Brandon Rios and Tim Bradley. Mayweather might not have the heaviest hands, but he's naturally bigger than Pacquiao and has enough pop to keep opponents honest, even if he doesn't sit on most of his punches. He's also quick and very accurate.

All of Pacquiao's strategies necessarily call for him to open up and take risks. He is going to have to throw enough punches to try to push Floyd out of his comfort zone, if not completely overwhelm him, if he wants to win.

Unless he manages to quickly do what he hasn't done in more than half a decade (knock his opponent out), Pacquiao is going to be hit. Even if his so-called killer instinct is back, it's going to be interesting to see what happens to it when his man is still standing there and he feels the sting of Floyd's punches.

Floyd is a lot better than Marquez, and classes above Rios and Bradley. I would be surprised if Manny isn't hurt in some fashion on Saturday.

Manny's straight left will be too fast for Floyd to neutralize.

If Floyd doesn't take risks, he will get hit just like the Judah fight.

Manny won't get tired after 4 rounds, Manny won't be dissuaded by missing shot. He's going to keep coming and Floyd will need to use his legs or get hit more than any other fight in his life.

I hate talk about things such as killer instinct. It's only a product of results. If Manny had knocked out every opponent since Cotto, no one would say,"you know what, I don't think he has the killer instinct anymore." It's only after nothing happens where people look for something to be gone. Manny himself wouldn't say the killer instinct was gone if he had scored knockouts. Get out of here.
