    agreed.

    when his punch rate was up, look who he was fighting, walking punch bags. when he fought boxers he couldnt throw so freely.

    bradley remember is a very good fighter, look what pacman did to him. boxing fans are the harshest imo!

    Why aren't people taking into consideration the styles of the fighters? You know, that stationary opponents like Clottey and Marg will always allow you to throw more punches than retreating, defensive opponents like JMM, Mosley and Bradley.

    And why is nobody mentioning the fact that the punches thrown in the Bradley fight (750), mirror the punches thrown in the Cotto fight (780)? You know, the same Cotto fight that most claim is the best they've ever seen of Pac?

    Well no ****, but the punch stats aint the proof. What do you expect when the opponent doesn't engage and rides the bicycle.

    Well it is required for a great boxer to know how to cut off the boxing ring to put himself in better position to land punches.

    No he's not. He has used up most of his cherry picking options. Mosley, Marquez & Bradley > Hatton, Cotto, Clottey & Margarito. Much > than.

    That and Pacquiao missed a lot of punches on Saturday. We all know what that can do to a fighters stamina.

    Clottey and Margarito were sitting ducks for Pacquiao. Mosley was 40 years old. Bradley and Marquez present different style and hence Pacquaio was unable to dominate and his punch out put has dropped.

    Also getting a little punchy as well.
    Then again, he is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
