Do you respect Time Bradley more for fighting with two "busted" ankles.

    Definitely, video analyzing the fight, showed that even with two bum wheels, Pac couldn't hardly lay a hand on him. Which makes Bradley's that much more impressive.

    I do respect him for it, definitely. Its plain to see that Bradley's a very tough and determined guy, mentally and physically.

    The guy has enormous willpower. No way Khan beats this guy unless he catches him and everybody can be caught. Aaron Pryor lost one fight at WW b'cause he was caught and very early.

    It's truly special for an older, slowing down Pacman to still force a prime, 1% body fat Bradley into injuring both ankles trying to keep up with him. Pacquiao took it easy and still left the physical specimen that is Tim Bradley in a wheelchair, not unlike a deeply caramelized Professor X.

    Pryor, was "high" as a kite in that fight ( its on the tube), lol. Pryor even admitted he only at about 10% vision in his now blind eye in that fight he lost ( only lost) that particular night.

    You can play through sprained ankles. It's when you stop moving around is when the swelling and pain begins. Especially for Bradley who was on an endorphin high being in a world championship fight. Anyone here who's sprained an ankle knows what I'm talking about.

    definitely. the searing pain doesn't come until later, but even at the high and heat of the moment it still has its effects whenever you land/maneuver on that foot (and in this case its both which is ****ed and thus impressive)

    :deal :yep

    Even if you don't think he won you have to admire his will power to stay in there and try to win, after others have given up against Pac without that type of injury.

    He had a great gameplan, and followed a great man's blueprint. (notice how both of Pac's "prime" official losses were followed after a Marquez bout, which was studied heavily by the next opponent:yep).

    Most of the fighters prior to that had a wrong gameplan coming in and when Pac had shown em what time it is it was too late/damage done. Also Mosley's backpedal gameplan turned into the usain bolt gameplan after round 3

    Bradley whipping Pac on two broken feet reminds of when Jordan played with the flu. My family was mad and I was just laughing at them.
