Bradley proved Pac's power/workrate has been exaggerated through the years

I wouldnt say he's very elusive. that's overrating his defensive skills. floyd mayweather, when he wants to be, is very elusive. I dont think bradley won, but if there's any arguement for him winning, it comes as a result of what pac didn't, or couldn't, as a result of age, do.

 

they weren't nearly as consistent as they were years ago

 

Um how bout Bradley is a pretty good fighter.. he isn't 29-0* for nothing.

 

I don't believe that's the case at all. Larry Merchant explains it well in a recent interview:

Do you think that Pacquiao has lost a step given how he looked in this fight versus in fights maybe three or four fights ago?

It has to do with styles. When guys who are naturally bigger than him thought they could put pressure on him and overcome him then he had a chance to look spectacular. When they probably decided that was not the right strategy and they decided to go away from him and try and survive him, then the fights were not spectacular but they were usually one-sided. Any professional fighter can survive if that is his intention. And that was some of their intentions, certainly Shane Mosley after the first few rounds was there just to survive, so it wasn't a knockout. I don't count that against Manny Pacquiao. If anybody holds him to the standard of his fights against [Oscar] De La Hoya and [Miguel] Cotto and [Ricky] Hatton, nobody lives up to that standard every fight. The fact that Bradley didn't get punished as much in the second half of the fight doesn't mean he won those rounds. And I think there is a kind of feeling of relativity like “Okay, he didn't lose that round that big, so therefore he won the round.” I don't agree with that!

 

i don't give him credit for the hatton ko. according to roger mayweather hatton was only allowed to gain 5lbs after the weigh in. he was severely dehydrated when he fought pac.

 

Pac already proved his power and workrate throughout the years. One fight between a past prime Pac and Timothy Bradley at a weight neither fighter really belongs doesn't prove ****.

 

Pac is off the JUICE!

 

how do you explain Pac vs Margo and Cotto and knock down of Mosely? These guys have chins and got the $hit kicked out of them. Margo and Cotto werent over the hill either.

 

Margo didn't get knocked down, and Cotto gets knocked down all the time.

Mayweather almost put Cotto down. Is Mayweather on roids?

Snitches....
