markq, when did this happen? the fact i manny has 5 losses & 2 draws & controversial wins v juan right?
Doesn't matter whether he's shot or not ! he's become the best boxer in the division other than Money & JMM and that's saying a hellava lot ! I mean the sweet science & defense ! This is what will let him be competitive against Money. Not athleticism & power alone..
Pac his prime for speed and certain types of movement. He's never been the complete boxer he is now... I find it crazy that none of you guys see that !
Pacquiao is *not* a complete fighter. Not even close. What complete fighter do you know who can't deal with a jab and is a total sucker for the right hand?
pac has better movement than he has ever had in his career. You don't see him walking into punches half as much. And, he has better head movement than he's had in years. Watch the tape of the Rios fight...
And that win wasn't even @ 147. *******s want to build up Pedquiao off of the Bradely win ignoring the fact that, outside of the first Pacquiao fight, Bradley has *never* beaten a top 5 welterweight. NEVER.
And when I say "better", I mean more calculated and strategic boxing to beat a guy round after round. He's becoming a guy who's winning more rounds in his fights...
LOL.. The Alexander fight was @ 140 and Provodnikov was moving up from 140. Like I said, taking away the Pacquiao win, Bradley has NEVER beaten a top 5 welterweight.
