    I actually think Bradley was in his prime or close to it when Pacquiao "retired" him. I also think he was never close to great and was barely even a "good fighter". He was pumped in my opinion by Pacquiao fans. When the reality was he never beat anybody decent. He was beaten 3 times by a past prime Featherweight (Pacquiao) and squeaked out a close win against another past prime Featherweight (Marquez).

    DLH was totally and completely shot. Also drained.

    Matthysse, again shot to piece.

    I don't know about Hatton. He was only 30 when Pac knocked him out. He had never lost in his natural weight class. And he came ready to fight. But maybe the booze and lifestyle had caught up with him. What's your opinion on Hatton during the Pac fight?

    Brutal fight both fighters were badly hurt Margaritp 's eye permanently damaged & Pac collapsed in pain from the battering his body took from Margarito. If you saw the documentary MANNY! it shows him on there. Pac said he'd never been hit so hard. In my opinion Pac was the only man to legitimately defeat Margarito since his close loss to Paul Williams

    No loaded gloves in Margarito-Cotto 1 of that I'm positive In fact there never were any. I watched Tony's hands wrapped many times & never saw anything wrong
    Yes Tony LEGITIMATELY kicked Cotto's ass making him QUIT & was en route to repeat till the NY doc suddenly stopped the fight just as Tony was beating his chest & Cotto was wilting AGAIN!!
