    Just goes to show you what kind of level he is on

    Pacquaio is 37 has been in many wars and has been knocked out cold late on in his career

    Not many welterweights can do that to Bradley if any i would not be able to find one ww to beat bradley let alone dominate him.

    Just goes to show you what a monster he was in 2008/2010

    he didn't "beat" bradley...he got a gift decision, a gift kd, gift judges and a gift commentary team...bradley clearly won most of the exchanges, landed the more effective punches and got robbed.

    but there's no way it could have gone any different.

    Bradley ain't exactly prime meat anymore either.

    "Amazing" Pacquaio lost to the real competition in his career.

    Very true. This is why people always say prime Pacquiao destroys "insert boxer's name."

    Anyways, Pacquiao is clearly declined, but he does have enough left to beat the number 2 ranked welterweight in the world. I think Bradley made a good showing of himself, though.

    He just had to fight someone that had his number from the beginning. He was fighting an uphill battle from the start. And please, Bradley still made the fight close. This wasn't a domination. Yeah, Pacquiao clearly won, but I think this fight was the closest of the series (minus the knockdowns, of course).

    not really a test, everyone knows he can shut Bradley out already.

    but pac seems to like his trilogies.

    Prime Pacquaio lost fights.

    Be it Marquez, Morales, etc..

    Prime Pacquaio is probably the most over-rated fighter in terms of ATG status. RJJ is a far better candidate for "best during his prime" and you never hear his fan boys spend all day long trying to argue that beating David Telesco makes it so.

    Telesco and Bradley, about the same level.

    At least this one, he wasn't the one receiving the gift decisions.

    to be fair, everyone who tested themselves consistently like a champion, lost fights

    RJJ didn't always fight the best, i.e Darius DM, or Bernard Hopkins post his Felix Trinidad/Oscar De La Hoya fights.

    Pacquaio also spent a lot of time fighting guys who weren't the best available to him either.

    All fighters will have people they didn't fight, just the nature of the beast in todays promoter bull****.

    If that's a shot at Floyd, Floyd has better wins on his resume than Pacquaio does. Floyd afterall has Pacquaio as one of his wins.

    Floyd has no victories over prime HOF fighters.

    Pacquaio's resume is excellent this cannot be disputed.

    It can be disputed, ultimately Pacquaio lost in his prime, and lost against Mayweather Jr when they fought.

    Mayweather Jr dominated guys that Pacquaio struggled with, and really the only guy you could say Pacquaio did better against was ODLH or Hatton, but you'd have to ignore that ODLH had drained himself to a ridiculous level for the fight and Hatton was coming off the KO and depression where he took himself from 147 to 200lbs and back again within a year.

    So I mean if you want to say "Pacquaio's resume is excellent" -fine, but he lost to Floyd, and also lost to fighters that Floyd outclassed easily.
