This does NOT feel like a big fight coming up!

you are not really ****yzing things carefully. First of all, Bradley is no chump. He outclassed JMM and was undefeated before losing to Pac. He would've given 08-11 Pac a good fight too... he's a P4P best fighter. Pac still outclassed him in both fights

Pac was arguably looking better than ever against JMM in their 4th fight. He did get knocked down in 3rd or 4th round but he came right back up and was rearranging JMM's face. He made one careless move and he paid for it, but that careless move came cause he was beating the **** out of JMM and he got overconfident. Had JMM dominated the fight from start to end, I would agree with you - Pac is way past his prime, it's not what happened though

Pac destroyed Rios, absolutely destroyed him. It was one of his best performances EVER, WITHOUT QUESTION. Rios is no chump, he KO'd Alavarado, who gave JMM a good fight. Pac shut him out for 12 rounds and it is a FACT that this was one of his best performances. Who cares if he didn't KO him, Rios has never being KO'd..

Pac destroyed Algieri, embarrassed him and Algieri is no joke. He had skills although inexperienced.

I haven't seen much sign of decline at all and it's not just because i'm a Pac fan, you just have to carefully ****yze his last fights... he even looked good in worst loss, until that careless move

 

I only seen the second fight and I couldn't see what pacquiao was doing so well in a lot of rounds, I thought the commentary was wile biased and called a lot that didn't land. Was disappointed in pacquiao in that fight was tighter than made out in my opinion and Bradley leg was ****ed after round 5

 

The second fight was definitely more competitive than the first, but still it was a clear win for Pacquiao.

 

Excellent post, exactly my thoughts too.

 

Pacquiao looked either over or under trained against Bradley in April. His condition was bad compared to usual. I don't know if it was because his wife was preggers and about to pop or what, but his condition wasn't that good. Even Justine Fortune admitted to it. It's not that he looked horrible because he looked good, he just didn't look super conditioned.

 

Trust me this fight will break the ppv record.

 

I(could be wrong) somehow feel you're underestimating Bradley here. He's definitely an elite A level fighter. I wouldn't even bring up his name alongside walking sandbags like Rios who's C class at best. Pacquiao, in my opinion, dominated him like he's nothing and forced him to be more aggressive in the rematch and Pacquiao beat him at that too.

The reason why Bradley was forced on the aggressive in the rematch is because, as he already admitted, he knew he's not winning a boxing match against Pacquiao as proven in the first fight. Only an elite fighter can make that type of adjustment and change for one fight even if unsuccessfully so. Most average fighters just show up exactly the same.

 

this is what ESPN has for fight week

Pretty much.

Also there has been little promotion. People said there would have been huge publicity the two weeks before the fight, but meh.

 

Yet here you are:think

 

I think you just described Maidana, the one dimensional brawler that Floyd had to fight twice to get a convincing win. Castillo, by your definition, is also a one dimensional brawler and he should'v won the first fight with Floyd.

 

This looks to be a diminishment of Maidana simply to diminish Floyd's win over him. Maidana is not a one dimensional brawler. You could say his boxing ability is basic but when you add it up with unconventional angles and timing you end up with a fighter that has the ability to give many problems by way of unpredictability. Manny also has the ability of odd angles but only when you're pressing him are they really a danger, and his timing..totally predictable. Then add in he stops throwing when being out classed, nevermind, I'll stop talking, this is totally depressing me..somehow I hope a good fights comes of this.
