    Round1gym's track record is always wrong.

    As a matter of fact, I'm picking Bradley in the UPSET.

    I have seen Cotto being owned twice already!!!! Why would I watch him lose by unanimous decision?

    Saul vs and old Mosley..

    GBP is gonna have to throw in another undercard.

    However, Pac Bradley will probably have Mike Jones who believe it or not is due for the Pac Sweepstakes.

    Pac should be able to do this even if he is past prime and lost his hunger he is still much bettr than bradley.

    morales/tyson/vargas-hopkins/johnson/vitali some guys go on longer at the top than they should, jmm because of him being an atg technical boxer has been able to compete at top level very long, logically he is past prime nowadays.
    Pacman who has a style not suited for longetivity logically is past it earlier, dont take this as a roy jones type level of past it by the way but more of a compared to the 2009 version.
    He could still easily compete at toplevel for several more years but it will not get easier while time goes by.

    I see your point, but I'll reserve my judgement on that until I see him against Bradley.

    pac turned pro when he was 16, jmm was about 20. ring age, they are roughly the same but jmm's style during his early career has preserved him more than pac.

    everyone should know this.

    Manny "I miss congress" Pacquiao has no hunger anymore. I see Bradley taking this one.

    And Pacquiao is rarely hurt but Marquez gets buzzed in 85% of his fights. Your point?

    Instead of people admitting that Pacquiao just doesn't do well against opponents with lateral movement, this "myth" that he's so past it and is now vulnerable has surfaced and taken root. Give me a break. :roll:

    Add:

    If Pac doesn't fight boxer A, he's ducking.
    If Pac decides to fight boxer A, he's cherrypicking.

    Pacquiao rarely got hurt? :huh When did you start watching him? :lol:

    Instead of people admitting that Pac is declining AND at the same time Marquez' style has always been a problem for him, his haters will just look at his flaws.

    it's not just skill. Power, stamina, durability, physical advantages, mental pressure all play a part.

    Styles too.

    People who think the buck starts and stops with skills don't really undrestand the sport IMO


    Skills are extremely important as are many other aspects.
