    Setting aside the official scores for a moment and considering how the bout actually went down, did Timmy do enough to warrant a rematch ?

    If the judges had gotten it right, would there be more clamour for Pac-Bradley, Pac-JMM, or Pac-XXX ?

    Nobody would want to see a brad rematch, nobody wants to see it right now other then for Manny to get his belt back which is rightfully his. Fight wasn't close.

    I don't know why anyone would pick Bradley to win the rematch. Pac was toying with him before he gave away the last three rounds, which I'm sure he won't do it again. One thing that needs to change, though, is that Pac needs to stop waiting until the final minute of each round. That tactic cost him a lot of TKO chances.

    Hell no. Had the judges done their job properly, we wouldn't even have idiots claiming the fight could have gone either way, let alone there being a need for a rematch. I, for one, hope it all goes tits up. Absolutely criminal how Arum has exploited Pacquiao's situation like this.

    NO!

    He got outclassed. It was a one sided beating, he was like a younger Mosley (performance v Pac).

    At least Marquez deserves his rematch. Bradley is not a champion and everyone knows that he lost that fight, he got exposed and to a lesser degree his performance reflects bad on the new generation of fighters.

    This is ESB you're talking about. Even if the right decision was made, the same people who scored the fight for Bradley would've cried robbery.

    No. Without the corrupt decision, talk of a rematch would be considered absurd considering how ineffective Bradley looked. I don't have any desire to see a rematch, save for a possible knockout for Manny. But no way in hell am I paying for it.

    I wouldn't pick Bradley to win, and thought he lost this fight, but you can't just say Pacquiao gave away the last rounds. Bradley WAS in there competing, and he was definitively outperformed early on, bu it seems he was able to make some adjustments himself to close the gap as well.

    I think JMM deserves the rematch more.

    I scored all three bouts narrowly for Pac, but I would have been fine with scores of three narrow JMM victories, or any combination in between.

    I think they still have unfinished business and learly, a lot more boing observers had JMM winning than had Tim.


    Bring on Pac/JMM 4 !

    Why would Timothy waste his time with PacGwire. He just embarrased his ass in front of the world Saturday night. Timothy's got bigger fish to fry. Possibly a showdown with the PPV Kang.

    Your almost alone among the *****s in thinking Bradley won.

    The rest of them are spewing glee at what they acknowledge as a robbery.


    Then again, you were never the sharpest knife in the drawer.

    Considering that all 3 judges had Bradley sweeping the last 3 rounds. That I myself had Bradley winning the championship rounds.


    Also considering the fact that Bradley injured both his ankles, one with ligament damage, and one they think was fractured. I'd say yes, I cant wait to see what Bradley does to Pacquiao in the rematch.


    Pacquiao is what he's always been. A great mid-range fighter, who is utterly baffled how to fight and long range or on the inside.


    I Believe Bradley's confidence will be sky high and the rematch will be even closer then the initial.


    You butthurt *******s should want this fight. Because once the dust settles and people start analyzing the fight and see how truly awful Pac looked for stretches, it will be only thing to save his career.

    I have no interest in a rematch. Most everyone agrees Pac is the rightful winner.
