    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.

    I agree that he has declined. I just think people attribute too much to the physical decline and don't realize he isn't the same mentally either.

    I disagree. Bradley is a p4p top 10 rated fighter (rated 8 by the ring) and the same size as Manny. Futhermore "Desert Storm" is tough, young and was unbeaten. Pacquiao defeated him convincingly - that means he's still got it.

    I don't think we need to stick a fork in boxing, but there's no question that Vegas HAS to be banned permanently from hosting fights. That would help make the sport infinitely more legitimate. Too much of a stench emitting from that city in recent years.

    I think Pac showed flashes of the fighter he was a few years ago, but generally looked less than his former self. That's the third fight in a row that has happened. He's past prime

    I just don't get how 2 judges had Bradley winning the 7th round.... Rounds 2-8 were clear pacquiao rounds. Clear as hd

    He's what,33? Turns 34 later this year.Pacquiao's always relied on his athleticism as opposed to to any technically prowess.Those type of fighters do tend to slow down in their 30's,and I don't think he's looked particularly great against a truly worthy and live opponent since the Cotto fight - and it was around that time when started his political career.
