Why was a smart, prime fighter unable to outbox a down hill Pac?

Maybe you ought to watch rounds 9-12 again.

 

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

 

Bradley is not a great fighter.
He is good, and can still improve his game and likely will. I'm sure Bradley learned a tremendous amount from his fight with Pacquiao.

But in any other era he would just be a contender. I can't see him beating prime Shane Mosley, Oscar De La Hoya, Vernon Forrest, Ike Quartey, Tito Trinidad etc...

He just isn't as skilled or naturally talented.

I'll give him this much, if he had more power, average power, he would have probably beat Pacquiao.

 

cause hes simply not that good. overated fighter.

 

Body shots... Bradley used body shots to slow Pac down.

Put Pac infront of a Margarito type fighter again and see how he looks like a mini wrecking ball again.

 

According to the scorecards, he did outbox Pac.

 

I'm not to convince that Bradley won that fight. He didn't do better then Marquez against Pac, none the less he still walked away with the victory. The fight was a gift to him as Pac last two fights with Marquez was gifts to Pac. There should definitely be a rematch to determine the real winner.

 

Running and jabbing gloves is not boxing. 9-12 I gave him the 10th that was it.

 

Because Pacquiao is one of the greatest boxers on the planet right now. Pretty obvious imo.

 

What does that matter? Pacquiao has needed to lower his work rate and be more patient against boxers for a long time. He finally does it and everyone including the judges think that its something Bradly was doing.

 

He wasn't really running, though...Pacquiao and his fans need realize that "he didn't allow me to hit him" is not a valid excuse...whereas not having the ability to cut off the ring is an actual reason.

 

What is this nonsense? Bradley is a come forward brawler out of his weight class. He got on his back foot and made Pac look like a fool. How can that happen to a REIGNING p4p Boxer?

It can't. Pac is a fraud.

 

Pac did hit him. More than he got hit. Successfully running to go 12 is not ring generalship.
