    To be fair I can't think of any fighter in history who relied so much on athleticism still be prime at age 35+. He's not prime but he's still a league above a guy who was ranked 3rd p4p.

    Bradley even missed more punches. And to be fair after the 5th round, Bradley has started to step back just to avoid Pac's punches.

    lol, cos Tim is just known for his poor stamina. Tim got tired because of Pac, all those haymakers, all those unnecessary body swaying movements, all those feints from Pac drained Bradley.

    That's a good point. Pac's style is rather dependent upon his physical abilities but now at this tender age when he's lost all that speed, he did a pretty solid job against Bradley who is in his physical prime.

    If you truly think Bradley beat Pac in the first fight, he actually has a better resume than Ward. Going Pac, Prov and JMM is quite a feat.

    if you can give your balls to mayweather, that would be great for boxing.

    Manny missed a ton in this fight, as did Bradley. Pacquiao's misses score more though because of a million Filos screaming every time he throws something and that the Mayweather fight needs to be kept alive. :p

    I think his point is Bradley may be one of the most skilled fighters, but he's hardly the most talented (might even be the least talented in the weight class). Having that much trouble with Bradley shows what could happen if he stepped in the ring with someone like Floyd...

    I wouldn't say hang them up, but u can see the decline

    Tim is athletic, not bright.

    He outboxed JMM, I'd say he's at least a little bright...

    U gotta follow the guy's career from the beginning... He can be a boxing genius when he want to... Just not when facing a fighter so much more vastly talented than he is

    true. Mayweather would have an ugly fight with Bradley as well. Mayweather has been picking opponents who would run straight to him.

    Its true that he missed a lot of his punches. Still fact remains he clearly beat Bradley giving away only a few rounds. Lets put it this way, Mayweather had a much closer fight against Miguel Cotto.

    Lets not forget who Timothy Bradley is. Beat Marquez in his last fight. Beat Provodnikov who boxing fans consider a beast almost of GGG proportions. Beat Peterson, Alexander, Campbell, Holt, Casamayor, Witter.
