Surely this has to be ranked as one of Pac's best win since Cotto. Bradley's a great fighter in his own right but lost to the better man that night. Does the win over Bradley at least put Pac as #2 P4P?
Definitely one of his best career wins. But you're asking a board full of butthurt fanboys whose favorite fighters have been repeatedly beaten by Manny (or in the case of Floyd, don't have the balls to face him) to call Manny a no. 1 or 2 PFP? Good luck with that.
Yeah, it's gotta be a top ten career win for Pac. Bradley was undefeated on the books, coming off a career defining win against an ATG, P4P#3 and HELLA motivated.
dude relax, this fight was a splitting image of the 1st fight but with more action and engagement. He already beat Bradley ..Bradley has never stopped an elite fighter. Floyd has stopped many. Floyd would dismantle Manny, dude is a fighter waiting to get hit. He no longer has the power. I mean how can a guy who reaches for punches and jumps while he punches is desperation to land a punch ever defeat the arguably one of the best technical/defensive fighters of all time? Now maybe many will get his revenge on a 41 year old JMM
Ok when was the last time Mayweather beat a slick, black, at his very prime, undefeated and top p4p fighter?
Depends how you look at it. On paper it looks amazing. He clearly beat in a dominant fashion a guy who was top 5 p4p, a guy who was undefeated, a guy who beat JMM in his last fight, who beat guys such as Provodnikov the beast, Lamont Peterson, Kendal Holt, Nate Campbell, Devon Alexander, Junior Witter, Joel Casamayor. As for the fight itself, it was not very entertaining, although for few rounds it was pretty good. He edged Bradley in most rounds but one could notice that he slowed down, his killer instinct is not there anymore. He was talking about having to be more agressive but he had Bradley dead tired and wobbly and he didnt go for KO.
Puts him #2 P4P for me. Bradley is exceptionally hard to beat. I love Ward as much as the next guy but i can't have him hogging no.2 spot being this inactive.
