    From the scene
    By Ryan Burton

    Shortly after Bradley's victory, Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank told reporters that Bradley told him in the ring - "I did my best. I just couldn't beat this guy."

    The Palm Springs, CA native vehemently denied making that statement and said that he felt all along that he won the fight.

    "I never said that I didn't beat this guy. I just said I did my best. I wouldn't say that I couldn't beat him. Why would I say that? Especially when I felt I won. My trainer told me right after the fight that I beat him," Bradley would tell The Boxing Lab.

    The 29-year old praised Pacquiao and said that he puts his combinations together better than any other fighter that he has faced. He also gave the Filipino credit for his ring smarts.

    "I have been in the ring with faster guys but he is a great fighter. When he puts his punches together all of his punches are solid. There aren't any weak punches. He is a lot smarter than I thought he was," Bradley stated.

    He also said that he feels that he is on the same level as the Congressman. When the fight was first announced many fans were skeptical of Bradley's chances in the fight. He feels that he proved his place amongst boxing's elite.

    "I am right there with him to be honest with you. He couldn't knock me out like he was supposed to. I wasn't supposed to be in the ring with him. I fought toe to toe with him at times then I fought smarter and boxed from the outside," Bradley said.

    Bradley fight someone else so Pacquiao and Mayweather can do this in November or December.

    Pac definitely has slowed down and a lot of guys are a lil faster than Manny but Manny throws good speed with power in them that's the difference.

    You can see Devon Alexander throwin fast slick punches but with not much power in them.

    Manny throws good enough speed but with power in combinations.

    See the difference?

    I have a lot of respect for Bradley and I like him, but he knows he lost. If he wants to lie to the press and fans and pretend he won, so be it, but deep down, he knows it's a very shallow victory.

    Bradley rode a motorcade for his hometown coming and it was only the driver and him. The people there were to embarrass to come join.

    Good attitude all round good guy . Its a difficult time for time as he is known as the guy who lost to Pacquiao but got the decision.

    Lets wait for November.

    Wait until the rematch, when Arum tells Pac he can go full-out on Bradley, as opposed to last Sat when Pac was obviously told to take it easy.

    Timmy will need a stretcher, not a wheelchair.
