“He has to fight. If he’s not going to score, he is going to lose the round,” Tyson said in his YouTube channel.

Tyson added that two fighters who gave Pacquiao trouble, Timothy Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez, both “threw over a hundred punches a round” and “Floyd doesn’t throw near a hundred punches per round.”
