    If Golovkin is 2-0 against Canelo, then where are his belts ? :lol:

    Canelo put on a boxing clinic in the first fight. Canelo was clowning GGG on the ropes. GGG got lit up going forward, those uppercuts in the middle rounds, GGG never been hit like that in his life.

    GGG got his ass kicked Mexican Style in the rematch. You know it, I know it, everybody knows it. Hell even Abel Sanchez knew it.

    "OK we're losing here OK" GGG nodded, he knew it too. By the end his face was so beat up he couldn't even face the camera to give an interview. GGG walked out the ring a broken fighter, and he still hasn't made plans to fight since. :razz:

    And let me guess, Pacquiao dominated Bradley in their first fight too, huh ?

    No he just isn't a raging Pacquiao fanboy and actually paid attention to what Bradley was doing instead of just riding Pacquiao till the cows come up like HBO did that night.

    Yes, Bradley himself could only struggle to give himself a draw. Anyone who scores it for Bradley is more biased than Bradley himself, which says a lot about your set of eyes or agenda.

    You just exposed yourself because I made it clear that I wasn't claiming even that Bradley won I just said that his performance was underrated and underappreciated and that it was very close and not a one-sided Pacquiao win as many claim.

    Na you exposed yourself and lost all credibility.

    You are low key trying to make a case. It was a robbery. End of. The fact that Bradley himself could only push for a draw for himself and lord knows he tried says its a robbery.

    It’s actually a good filter for screening out the morons in these forums.

    Nice try, but you already suggested that I scored it for Bradley after I made it clear that I didn't, which you said says a lot about my eyes or agenda. I have no agenda, as I said I went back to re-watched it after admitting that I thought Pacquiao won watching it live and after paying more attention to what Bradley was doing I realized it was closer than I thought initially. I realized that in thinking Pacquiao clearly won I was highly influenced by the HBO telecast making it seem like Pacquiao was making easy work out of Bradley. After rewatching it I no longer thought it was a robbery, instead that it was a close fight that could go either way. Posters on this forum complain all the time about robberies when a popular fighter get a decision because of who they are and how popular they are, well this is the polar opposite of that and yet fans are still claiming robbery and a one-sided Pacquiao win which wasn't the case.

    Bradley indicated in his post fight comments that there were many close rounds and he needed to go back and rewatch it to determine who won. That's just him being honest which should be applauded rather than Pacquiao who after the Mayweather fight delusionally claimed that he thought he won the fight. Bradley recognized how close his fight was, if he would have stated he clearly won or something it would have been criticized so he seemed to say the right things and out of respect for Pacquaio and that many thought Pacquiao won.

    "There was nothing there, nothing to suggest it [the fight] was even close. If you were being generous, extremely generous, maybe you could give Tim [Bradley] four rounds and he loses 8-4. I love Tim...but he has to know that he lost the fight. If it was me personally. I would admit defeat and say, 'Here's your belt back.'"

    Those comments from Ward were in response to Bradley's own comments which contradict dangerousity's claim above that "Bradley himself could only struggle to give himself a draw".

    Bradley posted on social media that "“I finally had a chance to watch the fight last night and after watching it I felt just like I did the night of the fight ... I won the fight! Pacquiao is a great man and a great fighter and he will have a chance to get his title back and at the same time I will be able to get a more definitive win.”"

    So that quote from Bradley exposes dangerousity once again in misrepresenting Bradley's comments as proof that it wasn't close lol, as Bradley made it clear after re-watching he believed he won, at the same time recognized that it wasn't a definitive win.

    As to Ward's response, well he like most in the media felt like it was a robbery and not all that close. I doubt Ward watched it again with the volume off. He probably just watched it live and like myself when watching it live, was influenced by the HBO commentary or Pacquiao's popularity and didn't pay close enough attention to Bradley's work and thus believed that Pacquiao won by a wide margin.

    You're trying too damn hard, man.

    Bradley is 0-3 against Pac. Canelo is 0-2 against Golovkin. These are universal truths, not the opinions of haters/fan boys.

    LOL I'm not trying hard at all. I'm providing you context for that Ward quote.

    You're obviously a big fan of Pacquiao and GGG and take this bias into these fights. You think they won, OK you can think they won all you want but that doesn't change what happened. I think most would agree that Canelo has more of an argument to beating GGG than Bradley has over Pacquiao, but I never claimed that Bradley clearly beat Pacquiao or anything, all I said was that the fight was not as one-sided as many believe. Bradley's performance to this day is very underrated and underappreciated and I stand by that. This is a textbook example of fans being too influenced by the more popular fighter, which is something that many posters on here claim as a problem with boxing to this day, and that was at the height of Pacquiao's popularity.

    Bob Arums way of delaying a Floyd fight as he thought Floyd was all wrong for Pacquiao and that the gravy train would then end

    I watched the fight a second time very carefully and critically. I don't think Pac won it going away by any means, but I really can't see a legitimate way to give Bradley any more than five rounds. Bradley fought well and I agree with those who think his performance was underrated. He really fought a smart tactical fight. To me it was a close competitive and frankly somewhat boring and pedestrian fight. Ironically I think Bradley would have been better off in the long run if Pac would have won by something like 7-5, 7-5, 6-6 majority decision. He would have gotten credit for a moral victory but would have not been put in a dark place by a perceived robbery (but it wasn't a robbery, just a bad decision).

    You’re picking the wrong quote. Leading up to the 3rd fight Bradley admitted he scored it a draw.

    So keep exposing yourself. Keep building that case. That was a robbery, no way around it, the media scorecards, and Tim Bradley himself knows it.

    But go on, keep making yourself look silly.
