    I think he fought a good fight. I also think Bradley's ego got the best of him, and he looked like he was well on his way to winning before he fell in love with the potential knockout looming in his mind.

    Pac looked alright, not great, but not bad.

    As of today though I think he's #3 P4P. After Floyd and Ward. We can keep talking about KO6 and it's biblical epicness. But it was 2 years ago now. We have to live in the present.

    I still don't think Pac has **** for Floyd. It's just not a good matchup for him, and he can't fight for 3 minutes of the round anymore. And he's really easy to hit. Bradley lifted him up off the ground with an overhand right, Floyd hits a bit harder than Bradley. It would be target practice. I didn't see the fire tonight. I do think the hunger is gone. Bradley was right, but he didn't execute.

    BUT Pacman owns the night. Good comeback fight for a legend.

    I also believe Floyd takes it but... if he's such easy work, then why not fight him? He's a straight up coward when it comes to Pac. That'll be his legacy.

    If you believe it's as simple as "why not fight him". Then we have nothing to talk about. You and I both know it's not that simple. Well you should know.

    Floyd definitely ducked him when he was a real threat. This can't be denied any longer.

    He doesn't push for the fight though. He's gonna make a ridiculous amount of money... He's the one that's put roadblocks since the beginning. Manny should also push more but Manny didn't put roadblocks like the stupid testing. That clean up the sport thing was pure bull****. And you should know that too.

    He should retire. I agreed with Ledermans scorecard at 8-4 but still. He wouldn't take more than 4 rounds off Mayweather.

    Pac beat the #3 PVP fighter in his prime pretty clearly, which is great for a fighter in his mid thirties and on the decline. But it's obvious that Pac is no where near his 2008/2009 self, and we'll never see that fighter again.

    pac circa 2008-2010 is a beast. that's why mayweather has these different kind of demands to stall the fight.

    Why is it bull****? It isn't anymore bull**** then Pac asking for 10 million for every pound Mayweather is overweight.

    Nor is it anymore bull**** than building temporary stadiums.

    You're gonna get demands from both sides. Pac put just as many roadblocks as Floyd.

    If he was as willing to take the test back then as he is now .The fight would have happened.

    Neither one of innocent when it comes to the fight not happening. Lets stop trying to exalt either one of them, and just call it what it is .

    Concur. His hasn't had an A level win since 2011, and only fought twice since then. Not good enough.

    Bradley gassed. IDK if that was before or after he hurt his leg (which he clearly did, he was limping back to his corner after every round)

    When he gassed he was stuck throwing wide shots, one at a time.

    The stadium building was from Arum and there wasn't any serious negotiations at the time.

    10mil per pound is not a roadblock, Floyd can apparently make 140lb, cheated JMM on scale last time and wont have to pay 10mil if he's not over. Pac thought blood drawing weakened him close to the fight, he would have to draw blood whether he was on PEDs or not. He didn't come up with the excuse on the spot either, theres a vid interview of him way back blaming his Morales loss to blood withdrawal couple of days before fight, so he obviously believed it.
