    Pacquiao would easily beat Bradley again in the rematch just like we had seen last night.

    Some may say the injury is some sort of Bradley excuse, for their sake let's skip that factor - I still think the overall experience Bradley gained here will prove golden come rematch. I'll look up the incidents where Bradley's legs buckle and try to figure out how much it was due to punches or bad footing. He definitely overplayed it afterwards with the wheelchair. :)

    How many times will we hear "PacMan was unfocused"? First wife problems and **** in the Marquez fight... now he's facing a hungry undefeated fighter, and he was unfocused... because of what exactly?

    I thought he tweaked his ankle in the fourth round? The wheelchair was pretty pathetic. Not sure how the rematch plays out. Tim faired better in the late rounds, but Pac might have eased up a little as well. Don't think Tim is in the same class as Manny.

    Pac's not only declining physically, but his skills are eroding as well. He's just as much a handed fighter as ever before. The right hook was there often, particularly to the body. Pac is mainly just lunging in with that big left. It was almost bad to see how effective he was with it for Bradley's sake.

    You really think pacquiao gave that fight everything he had? I just think all his out of ring activities are hurting his in ring performances. Plus he didint seem like he wanted to end that fight last night. I still think Bradley could have been stopped.

    I don't think about those things, I'm a boxing fan and naturally expect fighters to show up for important fights, if they don't, it's on them, **** do I care? What I do is to judge their performances relative to their previous fights and opponents, and make a prediction for the next factoring in styles, age, mental aspects. And that's what I did here. Care to discuss what may happen in the rematch?

    I heard somewhere that he vowed to KO Bradley in the rematch(was it in the post-fight conference?). I never thought pac would say that. He must be really pissed. Won't favor brad at all.

    Yes but I'll watch it for free and more and more will.. This sport is on a slippery slope. People wont pay for BS in a long run.

    Pac had Bradley wobbling many times, he was one punch away from getting a KO but refused to go in for the kill. Even just watching the fight, its clear Bradley didn't have any power in his shots at all.

    Pac showed how good he is, and how **** Tim is in the first 6 rounds. Then he layed off doing anything, probably fearing he was beating Tim to easily and he knew that wasn't the official game plan...

    Bradley has no power or accuracy - he doesn't belong at this level. Plain and simple.

    Im not sure Pac has the fire he used to...i think the media spotlight has got him unfocused as he is scrutinized a lot more since his star power has risen.

    Im not sure he cares for so much spotlight honestly, im not sure he has the people around him to help him with that...Arum, Roach, Ariza they all seem to flock to a camera.

    I also think the whol pure image is effecting him as well i dont think he is allowed to fully be himself without having to worry about a PR image. Lots of stars or athletes go through this and they all hate the media scrutiny and microscope.

    Every fight there is something with Pac and its released to the media i dont even believe its him...i think alot of it is those in his camp not looking out for his best intrests so to speak.....but MONEY.

    Pac's character though i think allows himself to be ran over and mis-guided alot. I think he just nees a break from it all...the Floyd and Peds saga, his life, the gay comments, camp fighting, etc etc.....he has been extrememly active as a fighter as well.

    I think he may need just a break from the sport...like Floyd does at times....just get away and relax...find the desire to box get the urge you need. I dont think its there for him no more.

    people knock Floyd for his breaks but i think all athletes go through this and need time off...lots of athletes go through it....see Michael Jordan.

    I agree Bradley will do better in the rematch. And considering he already won the first, it ain't gonna be good for Pac.

    Bradley figured out what he needs to do to defeat Pac in the later rounds, and without a tweaked ankle and broken foot, he will put his plan into action more convincingly and retain his belt.

    Thats not an excuse, pac has cut out all of his vices, no gambling no whorehouses, no beer.
