    We all want to criticize Bradley and call it a robbery (which I agree with, had it close but clear for Manny) but you have to wonder how Pacquiao even put himself in a position to get robbed in the first place. The Pacquiao that fought DLH and Cotto wasn't putting it in cruise control simply looking for an easy nights work with a decision.

    he thought he was way ahead but, once timmie started boxing paq got so confused he didnt know what to do...
    tim should be able hto beat him this time for real , even though timmie isnt really elite level in any dept, possibly drive he is elite but this would be a joke fight for floyd

    Because Bradley didn't want to fight. It takes two to tango .Pacquiao has to initiate the action all the time.A Slick boxer likes to run around and pot and **** expect Bradalina to employ this tactic.Packito will have to chase him around the squared circle. Will he get bored or will the fans get bored first?

    NO OINE can "run from an elite fighter. they know how to cut the ring off.

    IF paq was 1/10th of what his fans claim he will destroy tim but, we will see

    Yes. "If the opponent wants to run then you must catch him". - Cotto

    Even if the guy continues to run, that shouldn't mean that you stop pushing forward.

    Oh I agree that he can but I would just like to see him turn it up a little once the opponents body language is showing signs that aren't very threatening.

    DLH, Cotto didn't seem to be a threat anymore in the later rounds and Pac knew he could do whatever he wanted. Against JMM he made a huge mistake pressing the action. Although he was a bloody mess his body language wasn't completely defeated either and was still dangerous.

    Pacquiao didn't seem very concerned with what Bradley was bringing minus a few shots here n' there so that was the time to turn it up.

    People will think you're trolling but you're right.

    He looked like he just switched off for minutes at a time for no good reason in that fight.

    LOL Came to fight? Pacquiao was LITERALLY putting his face between Rios guard and Rios would hesitate to punch Pacquiao. Rios would dash in to Pacquiao's ranged but wouldn't punch. :patsch

    Elite boxers shouldn't have issues with cutting off the ring.

    1. Rios himself admitted that he was afraid to open up because Pac can knock him out/down. If you follow Rios it's easy to see that he was uncharacteristically covering up more.

    2. That was a masterful performance by an elite boxer in Pac. Even the live audience was cheering whenever Pac places a perfect right hook - roll under trap, or those solid left hand counters/lead left counters. Heck the way he turned Rios was met with huge applause every so often. Surely a supposed boxing fan can appreciate what Pac did far greater than those casual fans. That was no Mayweather for sure, but still a masterful performance nonetheless.
