    I as a boxing fan found it dull as hell, especially after the 6th round when it was clear Timmy was gassed and Manny had no accuracy to put any hurt on him.

    Pac can't fight a full 3 minutes of a round anymore where have you been? Pbf hits hard enough to get peoples respect when have you seen anyone just walk through his shots? Pbf is the most accurate puncher in the game he would hit Pac at a 40% clip or better. Pac is a sucker for the right hand and pbf has the best one in boxing. Pbf will reduce pacs workrate outbox him on the outside school him on the inside and win by ud or tko. You don't go life and death with jmm for 4 fights and beat pbf:deal pbf is like jmm x 10 he's bigger longer a better athlete with better boxing skill

    Clear that Bradley was gassed? He wasn't gassed, he was injured, but he fought very well, had fantastic, although a bit frantic body movement, and he made Pac respect his power early on so Pac fought on cautiously. Even still, it was an exciting fight from beginning to the end, with plenty of moments when I was going "ohhhh ****", and I believe it was one of the better fights of the year.

    PS: Manny is older now, with no Ariza on his side, and that ******ed dedication to the faith, that makes him soft. But he fought well, and he fought clean, thats all we, as boxing fans, should expect.

    I thought the fight was sloppy, ugly, and both fighters lacked precision, I didn't like it cause there was no ebb and flow to it, just react and reaction. Manny didn't look good and nor did Tim. It was not a fight where I felt at any time that I was watching 2 of the best in boxing. They looked as Larry Merchant stated, like amateurs

    Manny could barely put Tim Bradley in the corner

    Do you cats think Floyd is some kind of patsy or something?? Manny does not have skills to match Mayweather in any area, hell what do ya'll see??

    Didn't SRR fight a lot of rematches?

    -Jimmy Tygh (x2)
    -Fritzie Zivic (x2)
    -Lamotta (x6)
    -Harington (x2)
    -McCoulough (x2)
    -Vanucci (x2)
    -Fulmer (x4)
    -Basilio (x2)
    -Olson (x4)

    Granted, he had a lot of fights so of course there's going to be some repeats.

    But it's not like rematches are anything new to the sport.

    Fighters in the old days used to fight an outrageous amount of rematches.

    Especially the black contenders who weren't getting title shots during the Jack Johnson-Jess Willard-Jack Dempsey-Gene Tunney period

    Okay...but that wasn't your question. You might want to rephrase it as:

    Has any fighter of the modern era fought more rematches than Manny?
