Manny Pacquiao vs Tim Bradley

Pac has lost his speed and is very flat footed now. He wouldn't be able to compete. Everyone wanted the Mayweather fight 2-3 years ago and it would have been great.
 
2-3 years back I would have had it around 60-40 in Mayweathers favour but now more like 80-20. Pacquiao is slowly on the decline, I take nothing away from him he's one of the best and most exciting fighters of recent decades but Mayweather would pick him apart. If the fight does take place, it won't be before 2013. Mayweather is too big with a good reach advantage, he's too fast, too accurate, too slick, too sharp and too clever to be beaten by Manny. He wouldn't stand and trade he doesn't need to, he just needs to box and he would win. 2-3 years ago when Mannys movement was much better and when he was quicker it would have made for a much better fight.
 
I was shocked at the decision myself, I agree manny seems to be slipping.....but he won that fight without a doubt and the judging was a joke, sad day indeed
 
Is there anywhere i can find some highlights? I forgot to watch it live when i got home yesterday. I'd like to make my own decision (after reading countless news stories)

From what i have read though i'm more dissapointed in the fact that the Nevada state athletic commission are not going to even investigate the matter, so the judges that clearly failed to do their job are going to be allowed to continue to decide the winners of boxing matches based on their criteria of whichever name is quicker for them to announce so they can get to the bar before it closes.

If your partial to downloading there's 2 very good links with great d/l speed on isohunt, theres some highlights on youtube but I think they might be biased tbh better watching the whole fight
 
Wow shocked at how Pac man lost the fight, watched a few highlights and from where i was watching, Pac man was pretty much ahead so how the hell did the judges award the fight to Bradley.

Boxing is a complete and utter joke, first it was Amir Khan then the subsequent cancellation of his rematch and now this??

Geezus what an utter utter farce boxing has become. Wouldnt be surprised if the judges would awarded the fight to Bradley were paid off;)....either that or they need to get their eyes tested.
 
Looking back at the fight, Manny looked like he only really tried in rounds 3 to 6. Other than that he didn't seem overly fussed. He didn't try to go for the kill in the rounds where he was on top.

I wouldn't be surprised if Manny was in on some sort of fix aswell. A rematch would obviously attract a lot of interest, plus the angle that Pacquiao would be gunning for revenge after an unjust decision etc etc. More $$$ for both boxers aswell. Pacquaio probably needs the money to pay off more gambling debts, which is understandable seeing as he only earns about $30m a fight.
 
Manny was robbed big time, he won every round bar 2 or 3 and that's being generous as them rounds were close and could have easily been draws.
Can't help but think that Manny keeping everyone waiting influenced the judges judging!!

So sick of people bringing up Khan's "Robbery". It was not a robbery in the slightest. He lost a close fight.

Exactly. That fight could have gone either way and it would have been a fair result. Khan is probably the better fighter, but Peterson was had him in all sorts of trouble. Nothing like a robbery.

I lol'd at this. The ref stopped khan fighting his fight, peterson leading with his head. and getting no punishment, khan pushed him off to stop him getting hurt my petersons head coming forward and gets points off. Im no amir fan but reffing standards and judges are pathetic at times.
