    Come on.....

    Manny looked horrible and was catching a bunch of silly counters.
    He should hang them up

    And Bradley missed even more punches. What's your point?

    Did you not see Bradley's movement? That's the same movement sweet pea applies, its just complete defense with disregard for offense, when he does that and sways his body around its very hard to hit that target if you're going for the head.

    Manny really didn't look as good as he used to - in the same breath, Bradley genuinely wasn't easy to hit courtesy of the strategies adopted, so I'm not trying to diminish Bradley's performance, it was a fight that Bradley could have potentially won if he stopped thinking he could do what JMM did to Manny. He should have boxed more.

    This fight should erase doubts and confirm what we've been saying all along, Mayweather beats Manny. I actually think it would be an easier task for Floyd now.

    Two amateurs winging punches, in one round Manny had Tim against the ropes and threw a 10-15 punch flurry where every punch missed

    To be fair, several of Bradley's counters were a great way of stopping Pacquiao.
    Likewise, circling away after throwing a jab or countering with a hook was the way to do it.

    BUT, Bradley was bobbing and weaving like crazy, as in with complete disregard for his offense.
    When you do that, sure you are gonna make Pac miss, but you will also lose the round because Pac will eventually catch you or you will run out of gas.
    It's not easy putting your entire weight on your legs like that when you duck low and then weave from side to side like crazy.
    And we saw the effect on Bradley in the mid-late rounds: he just can't keep up with Pac anymore.

    And that's why Floyd is fighting these slow, flat-footed latino fighters, right?

    When was the last time Floyd himself fought a slick fighter?

    The Bradley win is a better win and a better opponent than any of Floyd's wins in the last few years.

    When you forget entirely about offense, many fighters can do that to another, but it won't win them fights.
