    I'm going to guess neither.

    It seems that it's all about the judges, all about the sport. If anything, Bradley showed a lot of courage and the ability to last twelve rounds against the elite.
    But most people are furious and I doubt they are thinking about the man named Tim Bradley at this time.

    too early to predict, the rematch is really the one that determines if it helps or hurts

    Help. More people now know who he is and he can't be held reponsible for the judges. Some Pac fans may feel aggrieved and dislike Bradley as a result, but, that's their prerogative.

    I believe he could come out if this just fine if he does what Sugar Ray did when he declared Hearns the winner of their rematch despite the **** decision. And that fight was closer than last night's.

    Have to wait and see if Tim's got the integrity.

    if you get a win over Pacman no matter if it is controversial that will help anyone's career. Helps a lot. Bradley will always be remembered for this fight.

    He showed bravery, resiliency and skill, but did not do nearly enough to win. If Tim Bradley is a true fighter he must know that and realize he lost the match.

    If Tim Bradley has any personal integrety and honor he must know that he should return the belt, relinquish the title he was wrongly given and make a puplic statement explaining that in his own opinion he did not win.

    In that case Manny Pacquiao should show the same amount of integrity and honor by accepting the talked off rematch to give Bradley another chance.

    In short last nights decision did not by itself hurt Bradleys legacy to me, but his own reaction to it might very well do so.

    believe me this helps Bradley. He beat Manny. Regardless of what people think officially he beat Manny and nothing can change the decision. Manny can beat him in the rematch, but it does not change the first fight.

    So what? official decisions dont mean **** if its unfair, do you give chavez credit for beating pea? of course not, and the controversy hurts his legacy more than a lose would have imo.

    Had he admitted that he lost, as SRL did against Hearns (second fight), I think he would have come out better.

    He implicitly admitted as much in the ring to Kellerman.

    ("I'll have to go home and watch the tape to see if I won. ":hey)


    But he had a talking-to on the way to the press conference and was jerking off from a wheelchair.

    Doesn't help his cred or reputation.
