    hate to see great athletes grow old. he may have very well won the fight but the way he has regressed the past few outings he would lose eventually. The pac that fought cotto would have beat this guy to a pulp. bradley is nowhere near JMMs level but he can't put him out.

    when he fought shane and JMM I gave him a pass but this fight with bradley had me convinced. If you think his physicall regression is enough his mental approach also is no longer there. watching pacman now is like watching wizards jordan. enjoyably depressing.

    Sure he can still regain his title again but he's clearly not the same dude i used to know... =(

    Agree, I like the Jordan analogy. I was surprised that Pac was as effective as he was being such a faded version of himself, atleast before Bradley caught his second wind and Pac was tiring down the stretch. He can clearly still match it with the best, but yeah it's despressing watching him reduced to the level of these guys like Bradley. He's made $200M now since DLH, he should retire or give JMM one last payday and call it a day

    As long as he is throwing more and landing more no reason he should stop.
    it's more his opponents running or reduced to shadows of themselves offensively.
    Bradley was no bully and JMM was no ATG Combination Puncher. Pac's power changed their game plans.

    if you can't be a 100% boxer then you need leave the sport. mentally he's no longer there... boxing is more like a sideline job for him now. boxing is a lifestyle not a casual job. He may still have his left money punch but overall physically he has already peaked and has already been in decline. His legs are gone, no more speed and strength to cut down the gap between his opponents when they are backing out. His skills is not his biggest asset it's his athleticism and intangible characteristics that made him a special fighter and without it he will always struggle against great counter-punchers and even looked mediocre sometimes. I'd say fight one more time and bring back the title and hang them up.

    JMM would beat the heck out of bradley i can guaranty you that. i couldn't say he dominated bradley... he could have if he upped his work rate a little but i guess he doesn't have it anymore. he can't throw those fast twitching combo punches in a consistent basis. he relied too much on his left it was kinda predictable, same pac i saw against marquez. his legs are gone... can't cutt off the ring effectively his mentality has changed really...

    even stevie wonder can see pac's decline. he has peaked a few fights back... he may won todays fight but he could have done better or at least prepared and be more focus to not put himself in that position but i guess he doesn't have it anymore.

    the fire is still there but it's no longer a torch more like a candle. boxing is no longer is number one priority... watching a basketball game minutes before a championship fight. WTF?!

    Forget the rematch with Bradley. What good will it do for Arum? Pac will lose again. This is the 2nd time Arum has screwed Pac (Morales I). If a rematch takes place I won't even bother watching. Lost much respect for boxing tonight.

    I say Pac just lost his focus in boxing. who the hell wants to be a boxer-politician-pastor-celticfanatic?

    but, he lost the fire in himself, and I think he wont be going back to that old self anymore.

    **** arum! he is milking pac dry... he knows there's a very big chance of pac losing to so before that happens he feeds him to his "next" potential star before pac's retires or leaves him.


    would have loved to see him pit against floyd but it's already 3 years over due. If they fight next year floyd already has the upper hand since at this point of their careers skills would matter most and floyd clearly has the edge in that.

    Fight Floyd and be done with it. A victory over floyd is the greatest trinket he could attach to his ATG career. Much sweeter now that he is already past his prime and winning would be an uphill battle.

    he could be a pastor for all i care all i know is that being a religious nut and at the same time a boxer who's job is to punch people in the face is not a good mix.
