    :huh this still makes little sense. Pac didn't orchestrate any public flogging of Bradley because Pac, and everyone else in the world, thought Pac won. You're trying to blame Pac for the fallout on tim.

    And don't for one second think that Tim wasn't expecting a lucrative rematch had he won. That was part of the gamble.

    I think the reamtch depended greatly on how the fight played out. Action and entertaining, when close, are more likely to warrant a rematch. The fight had moments, but excitement wasn't exactly in the air.

    He didn't orchestrate it, but he was the inspiration for it and had a front row seat.

    But that was the problem, Stevie.

    He got the decision, but he didn't come close to winning.




    BTW, are you talking to yourself here ?
    That's not always bad, but you also appear to be responding to yourself.

    This is an asinine statement, don't make him out like he took this great challenge in marquez when everybody with sense knows the only reason he fought marquez IV and Bradley for that matter is because he couldn't get cotto to drop down in weight. These are two guys brought in to lose and he ended up catching an L by both, and the funny thing to me is the first name guys he fought in 10 years not coming of a loss beat him. I respect Pacquiao for his rise in weight but get serious

    I don't feel bad for Bradley and objected greatly to the pity party being thrown for him this week. It's his job to find a way to seperate himself from his gift victory.

    I don't even think he has the tools to beat a focused Pac.

    He still should have gotten his chance.

    What do you think it means when he says "it would have been better if I'd lost"?

    Pac said nothing disrespectful by saying he won. And he cannot control fans....they do and say what they want.

    If you're determined to see it one way, you can make yourself believe anything. I've seen people claim Rios beat Abril, and Cotto beat Floyd. With Pac Bradley you'd be out of sync with 98%+ of the press that had Pac winning, and 90%+ that had him winning wide.

    asinine ? sence ? faught ?

    My point was that JMM was more deserving of a rematch than Bradley as he had come much closer than Bradley to beating Pac (Many say he did beat Pac).

    Is that too difficult to grasp ?

    Dude when there's a fight everyone agrees was a major robbery, the "winner" does not deserve a second chance, are you kidding? We're supposed to feel for Rios? Does Cintron deserve a second chance at Sergio cause his feelings were hurt over the "draw" backlash?

    Even dumber, you seem to be taking his post fight grace against him. He may be graceful, but he's not that stupid, he knows he won with ease.

    Lol I caught that to but i gotta sneak with my iPhone were i work so give me a break. Regardless the only point I'm making is this was far from the worse decision anything from 8-4 Pac to 7-5 Bradley is cool with me this is a case were a fight was close but not really competitive, if you can understand that but like i said its all subjective.

    No. Bradley didn't even deserve a rematch. Marquez has close fights against Pacquiao. Bradley should have lost clearly.
