    Pac is pretty much done (win, lose or draw). He's nowhere near the fighter he used to be… a prime Pac would have obliterated Bradley.


    Sure, the decision was pathetic; and a fork should pretty much be stuck into boxing. (The 115-113 to Pac was also a complete joke.) What we witnessed was a past prime great fighter, toy with a good/very good, prime fighter. But if it wasn't already obvious, Pac will never reach his previous heights. Anyone who still wants to see Mayweather–Pac is weird.

    Pacquiao showed he is still near his physical prime. He had the handspeed and footspeed. He just got outboxed.

    Bradley wasn't faster, didn't hit harder, but Bradley had better technique, better defense, and a better strategy.

    Bradley took away Pacquiao's best punch, the straight left. Without that punch Pacquiao doesn't know how to get his offense going and Pacquiao never had much defense.

    Actually Pacman stopped fighting on the late rounds. He got lazy, that's it.

    CoDer Pacquiao got tired. He didn't get lazy.

    If you look at the pace we knew he couldn't keep up staminawise with Bradley.

    I'm a Pac fan but he is past it IMO. And yes whatever the outcome was it was clear Pac isn't what he used to be.

    You got to be kidding me.

    Mosley had better lateral and head movement than Timmy.
    Timmy's gameplan of going to the body was COMPLETELY OBLITERATED when he felt Pac's power.
    Timmy was landing ON THE GLOVES of Pac.

    I can give you rounds 11-12 of the later rounds, but seriously, are you even mildly impressed of Timmy?

    FFS watch the fight again.

    lol can you give some of em crack fella?

    The left straight was what the fight went throught, and Timmeh's only chance is to run and fight back whenever he sees pac loses his balance or when pac has his resting rounds.


    congrats to timmeh though. this is his night. Enjoy your gift:deal

    Wait, I've just read your whole post. :rofl:rofl:rofl



    [FONT=&quot]That was one of the easiest fight I've ever seen Manny involved in. He also caught most of Bradley's "punches" with his gloves. Bradley offered nothing[/FONT].

    i rarely post anything in the past and have always looked an opinions of those in this forum. I consider myself a boxing fan. I like good fights.

    What i saw tonight is why I am watching more and more MMA. Sure, such things may happen in MMA but at least those involved in the sport (athletes and promotions alike) would call out such shameful results....not in boxing though.

    These things seem to be accepted and will never be corrected in boxing. If so, i could see why some would say boxing is in decline.

    With the money involved (including betting/gambling), shouldn't something like this be looked into? Not an expert....just saying.

    I like pac...this might be good for him in the long run. Maybe it's time to hang them up or rededicate himself to the sport (enough of all the distractions). just my 2cents.

    I think manny is just not committed to boxing anymore. He was destroying everyone, then started doing all this extra ****. Now it's caught up to him because he has lost a step. The truth is I think it's more mental then physical at this point. Maybe he will come back more mentall focused now that he has lost. I think he will put on a good performance next fight.

    Manny just got lazy down the stretch. Wanted to get the easy "W" and never committed to really putting a beating on Bradley. I still had him winning but I can see how the judges would feel he was outhustled down the stretch.

    It's both mental and physical, in my opinion. Over the last couple of years he has clearly declined physically. It's so obvious. That's not to take anything away from Marquez, for instance, and it doesn't mean that Pac can't beat practically everyone out there… just a fact of life.
