    Horrible decision in the first fight. 2nd fight wouldn't have been necessary without the BS judging.

    However, we did get a 2nd fight and Manny made some adjustments.

    Pacquiao is so much better than he gets credit for

    For instance he might have the greatest stamina speed power package of all time

    Even a post prime pacquiao will be mayweather's best fight
    Floyd will be ready for it, but this will not be easy
    PAC beats him in speed, chin, power and combination potential
    The Philly shell doesn't work against southpaws

    Realistically Floyd should have taken this fight in 2010 when he still had legs and stamina to keep pacquiao away

    Mayweather will be pacs best fight if mayweather can control distance
    If he can't pacquiao will knock him out

    Why I think his aggression in the Mayweather fight will be different. He'll be extremely aggressive, but all his aggression will be calculated and not careless.

    I see a Marquez 4 Pacquiao, but better. Same level of aggression but in control.

    I'll look for more Pacquiao videos as well guys. I posted a couple Floyd ones, now it's time for Pac.

    If you want to see a video on his excellent punching technique in regard to punching through and around a guard, check on Page 2/3. I posted a nice video, but nobody responded.

    Brilliant stuff from Manny.

    It amazes me that Pacquiao fans don't post in these threads, but post in the threads about Mayweather's strengths and Manny's weaknesses. I see more interest in trolling, than actually talking about Manny Pacquiao.

    I thought you guys were Pacquiao fans? Let's discuss his growth as a fighter. :bbb

    Adjustments? More like Bradley deciding to swing for the fences, instead of boxing.

    agreed. watched the first bradley fight at my friend's house and we were pretty shocked that they gave the nod to Bradley.
    I had commented during the fight "if it's a close fight, I don't see how they give the decision to Pac since the Pac/JMM 3 decision was pretty bad".....didn't think they would blindly rob the guy though lol

    One thing I didn't like about that fight was that Bradley started fairly well, but when he started swinging for the fences and tiring himself out, it wasn't competitive anymore, they both looked somewhat sloppy.

    Yea, I had no idea what he was thinking. Even still, I thought the video highlighted some of Manny's tricks, and the chess game going on between him and Bradley. I don't think Bradley is as smart as a fighter as people claim. The brawling for one was just ridiculous strategy, and in the video you can see Pacquiao straight up taking him to school on a mental level. Pacquiao was reading Bradley like a book at times.

    Pacquiao was playing chess, Bradley was playing checkers.

    I mostly see Bradley fighting dumb and basically beating himself

    I think Bradley realized at that point he was not going to win on the cards. Plan B time in his mind.

    He felt he was losing despite boxing good, he was landing good shots but his call was legit that those shots weren't enough to win him the rounds. He changed plan for good reason and still lost.
