    If Pac was late 20s, I would agree. But at the end of his career, it's all about maximizing revenue for the last couple of fights.

    Anytime a poster tries to use the line, "the same poster said....", it's a sign there's no real point. :roll:

    OK so 95/100 boxing writers are Pac shills, as is Jeff Mayweather and Danny Garcia who scored it 10-2. But I'll take your word for it, I can tell you're more knowledgeable and unbiased.

    People need to get over the decision in this fight quite frankly neither fighter deserved to be called the winner in this fight on one hand you have Bradley who didnt have the power to truly get Pacquiao's respect so his blows were the less damaging of the two on the other hand you have Pacquiao who basically took off the first two and a half minutes of every round and tried to steal them in the end watching the fight live i had it pac 8-4 but only one of those rounds could you say he WON it and i basically just gave every swing round to pac watching it a few months later i scored 7-5 Bradley after the hype wears off you notices those pacquiao combos that look so flashy are actually missing and it just looks good. In the end though Bradley actually came to win Pacquiao didn't you can't give a fight away and cry foul when you lose

    I doubt you would be so forgiving with Mayweather

    What a useless **** you are. 95% of the garbage you post is you telling the other poster what they think, or would think. Go learn some ****in humility troll. :patsch

    It was very classless for Manny to congratulate Tim after the fight, then completely brush off the result afterwards to take a fight that would always be there. JMM wasn't going anywhere. He'd been chasing Pac for like 10 years.

    At the very least, Bradley deserved the opportunity to legitimize his title and Pacquiao denied him that chance.

    That why the sport is subjective different people different opinions i mostly attribute scores like that to people's blind love for Pacquiao quite honestly i always felt the only person who could get a gift decision on mayweather was pacquiao for that same reason. it was a slow and ugly fight like i said watching it live i gave every close round to Pacquiao because it looked at the time like he was doing more and at the end it was only 8-4, but that's why I tend to watch em multiple time because you don't have all the hype around you and you can slow the bout down Pacquiao didn't do **** in that fight neither did Bradley for that matter but atleast Bradley came to win just my opinion. Bradley didnt truly take that title but Pacquiao didn't do much but flurry in the last 30 seconds and hope it was enough.

    Nope.

    Bradley didn't make it close enough in their first meeting to warrant a rematch.

    Pac rematched JMM, a much more difficult opponent and the result was a better fight.

    After the fight, Bradley was almost universally regarded as an undeserving paper titlist. His only hopes of legitimizing his title was to beat Pac convincingly in a rematch.

    Meanwhile, Pac grasped to public sentiment and paraded himself around as people's champ and made Tim out to be an ass with a belt around his waist...

    ...To fight JMM, a fighter who would fight him in the year 2020 if it meant having an opportunity to claim a clear victory over him.

    How is this hard to understand? Bradley was shitted on and Pac played a huge part in it.
