    It does seem to be the norm now.

    If he fights a face first fighter his legs usually work really good.

    just another way of saying he cant cut off the ring when he has to....Roach is a very good trainer but most his guys are already established contenders or champions, and for all those improvements they were raving about i dont see them.....Manny does have better punch variety because all he did before was flail and wing a solid straight left but his jab and defense remain the same

    they will blame leg cramps, distractions, gloves, alex ariza...and possibly a few other things on the loss to tim bradley. i called this fight before it was ever announced. tim is going to beat manny.

    Bradley is a good fighter. I expect him to still be there taking shots until round 6 or 7? then its lights out for little Timmy:deal:think:hey

    Somehow i figure Pac is either over-training, or not getting the right minerals/salts - or both. I am amazed this has been allowed to happen and I do not blame Ariza for he would be the first to warn against such a thing. Either Pac, or Freddie, is not listening to Ariza...and this is not good.

    Manny doesn't like to be roughed up/cut (Agapito Sanchez/Morales/Marquez) and Bradley has the tools and ruggedness to frustrate him. On top of that, he's one of the few fighters that can hang with (if not surpass) Pacquiao's insane stamina.

    Uncle Bob better make sure that the ref & judges are in line for this one.:deal

    Give me a ****ing break. This guy has a proven track record for coming up with lame excuses after poor performances... Everything from cheap socks to gloves to blood weakening to leg cramps. He'll probably try to say he was poisoned next time. Would you believe that bull**** too?

    :deal I gotta admit tho I give Pacman credit for back to back fights with Marquez and Bradley. But if Pacman wins another bull**** decision which is likely his stock and popularity will go down further. I guess both Arum and Team Pacman know Marquez and Bradley don't present a threat of knocking Manny out, but in a fight that goes the distance Arum takes care of that.
