    he never had the killer instinct. its when he fought the stiffs. they made him look good. as soon as he started fighting guys that knew how to box. the scam was exposed.

        I'm surprised no one has mentioned age. It's well known that testosterone levels in men drop after age 30. Pac had some tough fights early in his career and was even KO'd twice early on but always came back strong. He doesn't seem to be able to do that anymore. It could just be father time catching up with him.

          I noticed him turning soft ever since getting heavy in God and religion.

            Margs started the decline. Marquez sped it up. It came back, though, for a few rounds after he got dropped by Marquez until he was actually stopped.

              pac turned 30 in 2008.

              slowing down and boxing more was always in the works.

              marg shots was strong but few. all it did was show pac he shouldn't slug with bigger guys.

              jmm ko might have damaged him mentally/physically but he was 34 by then. pac might be the same even without the ko.

              you guys ever think he was less aggressive because he gets tired now? because he's mid-late 30's?

                this guy is smart.

                1 or 2 tough fights/knockout losses rarely makes a guy shot.

                age though always slows guys down, makes ppl less aggressive.

                  No one.

                  He got old.

                  You could see a steady decrease in his work rate going back 7 years. Didn't happen over night. But its really obvious, and pronounced.

                  He used to be like a buzz saw back in the day. He's not juiced to the gills with PEDs like Floyd, so you would expect his physical abilities to decline like every other person.

                    $ , Fame , Religion and lack of steroids is what took away his killer instinct don't think it was a fight that took it


                    It's tough to stay as hungry when you start especially when all that is thrown into the mix and your on top of the world humans have a tendency to get complaisent and lazy.


                    It's still inside of Pac and you saw glimpses of it in the 4th /5th round against JMM when Pac had his back against the wall unfortunately he got KO cold As soon as it came back.

                      critical of lack of killer instinct.
