Manny Pacquiao warns Timothy Bradley he still has "killer instinct"

Manny Pacquiao has warned Timothy Bradley that he will be getting the best of him when Las Vegas hosts their rematch on April 12.

PacMan took a one-year break from boxing after a contentious points defeats to Bradley and another loss to Juan Manuel Marquez in 2012.

He returned to beat Brandon Rios in November and next up is a second bout with Bradley, who has claimed that the Philippino brawler's 'killer instinct is gone'. While Pacquiao has admitted that he has a reputation of being a nice guy inside the ring, the American's pre-match words have fired him up.

"The aggressiveness and killer instinct, I have that, but sometimes I'm too nice with my opponent," Pacquiao told reporters. "But this fight he challenged me to do that. But this fight, he'll get it."

"I don't lose my passion or my desire to fight. It's part of boxing. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose."

Pacquiao is the only eight-weight world champion in the history of boxing.
