    Gotta give this guy credit, at least he's not going around acting like he beat a prime Packy.

    "He's declining, honestly he is declining," Bradley said during an interview with the Desert Sun. "He had me hurt in the fourth round, he didn't try to come out and finish me, the old Manny would've. The old Manny would've. I just think there's a lot of wear and tear on him. His mind is in 50,000 different places. He's got his newfound religion and stuff like that, and I just feel like maybe he's worn out, honestly. I have a busy schedule but his schedule is like all day busy, like 24/7, he never stops moving. Even when I saw him in the press conference I was like, 'This guy looks tired.' I saw his eyes; I saw the bags underneath his eyes. I was like this guy is tired. I don't even think this guy wants to be here,"

    It's true a younger version of Pac would not have let a guy with 2 bad feet get away with a victory

    He looks more & more shattered everytime i see him, the zest is gone, he's worn out but he'll never admit, all those bills are now due & on the front doormat.

    Which is why I think he loses to Juan or Floyd,I think of the three Bradley is the easiest cause Tim can't hurt him...

    I've always thought he'd beat floyd & so does floyd, but not now, the waspish speed is gone, his legs are cramping up, that in & out & side 2 side float has all but gone. He's only fighting in spurts now & it's mostly in a straight line, the old hyena style pursuit is now a thing of the past. I expect floyd to now grow a pair & take pac on. I agree with you also with regard to Juan, he has'nt the intensity anymore too keep it on Juan too force the openings.

    Bradley's absolutely right. Pacquiao's prime is a thing of the past.

    If he agreed to fight I would agree,why doesn't Pac fight Floyd,"beat him" than will make 50 million plus in a 2nd fight,so talking about close to 100 million which is 2-3 times that in the Phillipines, just doesn't make sense,after Juan in the 3rd fight he went into retreat mode with Floyd negotiations.

    i wonder if its wear and tear or more of manny heart not in the sport like it use to be. hes super competitive so he is always going to want to win, but is it his desire that is on the decline. this might be the best thing to happen for manny though, he might rematch tim and kill him in the ring.i hope that dont happen because that aint cool.

    I like how people believe Bradley when he says something they agree with but he's considered a **** for thinking he won the fight.

    If floyd thought he could beat pac he'd have fought him in a heart beat.

    To quote Steve Lott who was Tyson's co manager back in the early days:

    One man thinks he can win & one man ai'nt so sure he can win = No fight!

    One of the main reasons that Floyd has ducked the pac showdown is very simple modern day economics. In the HBO dominated era it's all about becoming the golden goose as was DLH who regardless of losses still got the primetime billing & exposure.

    DLH was the target for all fighters & mayweather new that to hit the $$$$ jackpot he had to get his shot at the goldenboy & once that victory was achieved he was'nt going to let that position slip away hense his refusal to re-match DLH. It's all about stuffing yer face on those zillions of PPv $$$$ & he's also a free agent so it's mega pig out time & he intends to hog the trough for as long as he can & that don't include taking risky fights which from a bizz perspective would be just plain dumb.

    Once pac beat Cotto & showed he could take a bigger mans punch that killed any chance of floyd ever getting in the ring with Pacquiao. Floyd sees no reason to take risks when he knows there's all these relatively easy paydays to be had against selected opponants.

    How many more times has floyd got to tell you!!!! It's MAX reward for MINIMUM risk & Legacy don't pay the bills!!!!

    Tean mayweather know that they can cream another $200 MILLION out of the HBO trough so until pac shows anymore decline it ai'nt gonna happen so don't go blamming pacquiao as he'll fight any ****er anywhere anytime!!
