    Like I said before it's easier to not hear what's been said than done.

    If last Saturday night, Bradley had boxed the way he normally has done... in the eyes of many he still wouldn't have earned their respect.

    i bet he got more.

    Manny gets more hate on here than anyone else in boxing. (equal with floyd(

    i'm sure that is also directed to his twitter. and facebook.

    If a fighter gets a gift decision and carries it like he won the fight fair and square then it's the media's duty to shower him with controversy and negativity.

    They were just calling the fight how they saw it :lol:. The British commentators were the exact same as them. Were they bias towards Pac, too? Are they also responsible for Bradley being blamed? What about the overwhelming majority of the ringside observors -- both the press and the fans -- who scored it clearly for Pac? Are all of these people wrong, too?

    Get over it, man. When fighters are awarded gift decisions, they get shitted on. Especially if they then act like an ass - which Bradley did in his comments since.

    Anybody watch the ring introductions for Bradley and Ruslan? Anybody notice how the crowd cheered for Bradley, and booed for Ruslan? Anybody notice the booing going on for Bradley afterwards.. So much so that the interview with him was straight up awkward?
    Those were fans that originally LIKED HIM before the fight, and disliked him afterwards. Why? 1) They thought Ruslan won the fight (it was of course close). 2) The rounds Bradley really won were rounds he ran away and simply won with a jab.
    As for why people hated him after the Pac fight. I don't dislike him because he got the undeserved victory, I dislike him because he says he DESERVED the undeserved victory. If he'd be straight up, admitted he lost or he even could of lost, etc I'd be a fan of his.

    Exactly the point, but they are not qualified judges they have no experience under their belt they have attended no clinics they are not licensed they are ordinary people like you and me and when you have those types scoring fights, your going to see favoritism all the way across the board especially when there is still hope for the richest biggest fight in the history of the sport.

    The boxing media only affects casuals, when the ******* media said it was 11-1 my casual friends suddenly becoming boxing experts.

    Yes. Bradley was/is a good solid fighter. He slaughtered their golden calf so they hound him mercilessly.

    His style isn't pleasing for me to watch, but the guy is a Boxer's Boxer. He comes in shape and ready to throw down.

    If Pac thought he could beat him he would have rematched him. Pac didn't. Pac got KTFO.

    Rios was given a robbery celebrated like he won and during the Alvarado fight Lampley's racist ass didn't mention Abril like he did with Pacquiao
