    I know what I watched smart ass. It was an embarrassing display by Clottey who didn't even show up. He fought to survive and was a heavy bag. He was basically black balled from the sport after that fight because of his pathetic effort in that fight.

    You're entitled to your opinion but you'd be wrong. Spence would beat the hell outta a prime Bradley.

    I'm sure most agree with you there, but I absolutely do not. Bradley was a true warrior, he wouldn't go down to a fighter the caliber of Spence. Pac & probably Mayweather were the only recent fighters good enough to beat Bradley in his prime. Crawford would be 50-50 imo, but Bradley out hearts Spence all day to the UD.

    Why would anyone not want to see Spence do well in this fight?
    Spence is a bright young man and the future of the division. He survived a horrific car crash and proved all things are possible through faith.
    Manny's time has come and gone. He has been getting rich off the backs of our people for long enough now. This is a classic good vs evil matchup and you should want to be on the right side of history for a change

    Agreed, Bradley is kind of underrated because he was in an era with such stellar fighters but you look at his resume wins over Pac, JMM, Campbell, Alexander, Provodnikov, Casamayor, and Witter, his resume is far, far superior to Spence's resume, it's not even close.

    Spence is a good fighter and might one day prove himself as good as Bradley but right now he's got some way to go for me to be even mentioned on Bradley's level when the only fighter to ever beat Bradley was Pac which when you consider the guys he fought is some feat.

    :lol: Yeah....Clottey just decided to NOT throw punches in the biggest fight of his career.

    Overly defensive fighters always get on the 'no watch' list w/ networks. Same thing happened to Rigo. Nothing new.

    Building all those homes for the homeless and giving money directly to the poor (not through some bogus charity) are the acts of literal Satan, doncha know?

    Laughs in Bernard Hopkins, George Foreman, Sugar Boy Malinga, Bundrage, Pacquiao, Soliman, Fitzsimmons, Tarver, Rachman, Archie Moore, Duran (38 when he beat Iran Barkley), Jersey Joe Walcott...

    I could continue with more names like Holyfield (38). Ali (37), Vitali (41) all “old” champions etc etc but you get the idea.

    I don't know if he is truly evil or not, he simply represents evil in this fight

    That's silly. ESjr is the one who refuses to face TC, his best fight at 147.

    It's a matter of perspective and how you frame it.

    For example Spence could very well be seen as the bad guy or "Evil" as you put it. Yes he survived a car crash one where he was speeding and was fortunate he didn't hurt anyone else apart from himself. I wouldn't call this behaviour the actions of a good guy. I personally wouldn't call him a bad guy simply a reckless and very lucky guy.

    Manny could be seen as the respected veteran being now past him prime and being used by Spence to try and make a name for himself instead of doing what Pac did and simply go through the best fighters in the division when he fought MAB, JMM and Morales almost back to back.

    Sure Pac has made many millions over his career but deservedly so and given away much of his wealth. He hasn't been fleecing the fans with mismatches or novelty fights vs MMA fighters and Youtube stars he's still even to this day fighting the best available when his peers are all retired.
