    Freddie knows the script :deal

    The fans are the real judges, why else do you think Lewis-Holy 1, Pea-Chavez & DLH-Trinidad are classed as wins for Lewis, Pernell & Oscar ?.... Freddie would rather pac avenge a loss vs Marquez than go 2-0 vs Bradley.

    I only go with the judges official decision in very close fights, I don`t entertain robberies of any kind & neither should any fan... I hate those arseholes that think they can end an argument with bull**** like `yeah but officially pac is 2-0-1 vs Marquez so history will show pac as the superior h2h fighter`.... NO, stop the shite, history will only show that to a casual 3 week fan that can`t tell the difference between a jab & an uppercut... real fans judge the game properly & fan power gets the final say in the end.

    Marquez 4 is much more important than Bradley 2 for pacquiao`s legacy & its not even close.

    I think he should and set the record straight, at least if he continues to fight.

    I think the fight was much closer than what most people are saying. This is coming from someone that is not a big Timothy Bradley fan when it comes to his style, but truly respect him. I feel Manny was not fighting the whole 3 minutes of every round, but rather trying to steal rounds many times. I also felt he miss many of his punches and unfortunately the cast did not help. Now im not saying Timothy should have won, but this fight was much closer. Im just curious on how a healthy Timothy will perform if they ever met again. I think a rematch should happen, just to put an exclamation mark for either fighter.

    When the HBO bias wore off on me and I watched the fight again, it was very close. If Pac decided to fight Bradley again I would gain a ton a respect for him, even though I think Bradley would win the rematch too, still much respect to Pac.

    No. It is only a loss on paper and we ALL know that, even Bradley.

    I doubt he wins the rematch at this point. Bradley's adjustments will be better than his and he is getting older. His recent fights are like watching paint dry but Lampley is yelling like its the last 10 yards of the Kentucky derby for twelve rounds. My vote is for an immediate retirement.

    No point; it is much more important for his legacy that he have a convincing win over JMM. The key word here is convincing; the way I see it, they both have one win a piece and a draw. Pacquiao needs to put this ghost away; however, that is a whole lot easier said than done.

    Bradley, on the other hand, is inconsequential. He didn't beat Pac, not even close. Cotto has a better argument for a win over Mayweather...

    I don't want to see another boring fight where Bradley does nothing but run. He is a spoiler and isn't worth the effort.

    I don't think the boxing world cares. Even the Mayweathers had Pac winning easily. Bradley gained absolutely nothing after his "victory". He's in a worse position now than before he fought Pac...that's how much the fans and the networks think of his win.

    After JMM, I rather see Pac fight Matthysee instead if the Floyd fight can't be made. At least we'll see a lot of fireworks with that fight.
