Who took the killer instict from pacman?

Testing...lol

It was religion and success. You could see it after jmm 3, with Mosley and Bradley. Even in the 4th fight with JMM the first couple rounds was the boxer Manny.

HOWEVER, that killer Pac is still in there. Once he got really knocked down, he got legit mad, and fought like the old Pac. I was hoping for Mayweather to knock Manny down early in the fight, just so we could see him get mad.

AROD Lost his power when he stopped PED'S
Mark Mcguire lost his killer instinct when he stopped the PED'S
Was it COINCIDENCE that it left as soon as he started taking ped tests?

I will go with success.

When someone achieves success beyond their wildest dreams, it is hard to keep that furnace that burns insides that hot over the long run. Once that fuel is gone from the early days, it usually doesn't come back like in Rocky III.

ill go with this one or in a way money and of course age. if youre aleady rich and becoming richer that will surely blunt your edges. Age, yes if youre doing that thing for 20 years youll surely lost some along the way. He's not that hungry anymore and not so young. margarito, jmm, ko6 etc is bul****, he was knocked out earlier in his career so it does not apply, soul? fo x sake stop the cliche, stop it its overused nobody take nobodys soul dang it.

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?

I am surprised age was not a option. Also the fact that Pacquiao has moved up the heaviest weight of his long career.

Why anyone specifically?

The dude has been in countless wars and fought a who's who of opponents. I guess father time never crossed your mind?

The only killer instinct shown by Manny in his entire career was Hatton Oscar Cotto , maybe Hatton being shot Cotto weight drained and Oscar dead man walking had something to do with looking devastating while his other 63 fights he looked like a normal elite fighter with normal KO ratios for the class he is .

Then you got the ped testing controversy on top of the CWs , then you got Toradal involved and the question of how long has he been using it before a fight .

The Margs fight took a lot out of him physically. But we did see his killer instinct again in the 4th fight with JMM and it got him KO'd. I think that's where it ultimately was gone forever

Hes older and hes just not as good as he was, but why people expect differently from a small guy is the question. Hes had his career, so if hes not ko'ing everyone out now why should that surprise anyone.

But hes fought so many great fighters back to back, and he fought big assed margarita 3 divisions heavier, somethings got to give.

The fact that's hes still fight at the highest level is a testament to how good he is.
