    Pac vs Bradley 1 was easily the best fight of the triology, and strangely, the one Pac "lost". He was never the same in the 2 others, less hungry and more apprehensive.

    The pace was torrid, the exchanges brisk, and the left hand lethal. I've watched it again, and could give Tim only the 10 and 12 mercy rds.

    Tim was classeless and will always be remembered for his disgraceful antics after the fight, no matter what ensued in the later years. History will remember he got rich on a robbery.The smile on Pac's face after the decision was announced said it all.

    Bob robbed the whole boxing world at gunpoint that night, and got away with it.

    Disagree with OP about it being the best, but a bad decision doesn't change what occurred in the fight.

    A great fight usually implies a close fight does it not

    Absolutely horrible decision.

    The worst part is: it allowed them to justify 2 more fights of this clear mismatch.

    Where did you see the word "great" in my sentence ?

    Tim was outclassed and hurt in practically every rd. Pac not once.

    Considering who was involved ( best fighter of the decade) and the circumstances ( champion defending his titles in front of the whole world ) it takes the cake.

    Maybe Jones Jr in the olympics comes close, although olympics are known for their shady scoring.

    As i said, a clear as day robbery with the perpetrators laughing all their way to the bank and the whole world unable to do a damn thing about it.

    best doesn't necessarly mean great, dipsheat.

    Tim was a human punching bag that night; he got actually booed by his own public in the last rds.

    Chisora beat Helenius in my view by comfortably winning every single round.

    Yet he still lost a decision.

    Chisora vs. Helenius is just about the biggest robbery that can ever occur.

    Bradley fought close rounds for half the fight with Pac. Even won a couple... If you watch more than the bi-weekly mainstream televised fights, you will find loads and loads of unquestionably lousier decisions.

    Wasnt the Paul Williams-lara fight in the same year? I thought that was a much bigger robbery. It just wasnt a ppv or high profile fight.
