MANNY PACQUIAO has warned Floyd Mayweather that he has rediscovered his killer instinct in time for their Las Vegas superfight tonight.
Pacquiao was at the peak of his powers in 2008-9 when he amassed four successive knockouts, including the notable scalps of Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto.Of his nine fights since crushing Cotto, the only one that failed to last 12 rounds was when he was flattened by Juan Manuel Marquez in 2012.
The Filipino southpaw enters his 65th fight as underdog for the first time since dismantling De La Hoya and he is revelling amid the widespread expectation that Mayweather will prevail at the MGM Grand.
“I’m so happy because the feeling of the killer instinct and the focus that I had years ago is back,” Pacquiao said.
“I haven’t felt like this in my recent few fights, but now I feel different. I’m eager to show something, especially because I’m the underdog.
“This is one of the most important fights for my boxing legacy. I want to make this fight for my boxing legacy. I want to win, that’s my goal.”
