Who Won Pac-Bradley? Post fight discussion STOP MAKING NEW THREADS ABOUT THIS FIGHT.

[-PBP-]

LOL @ Posters trying to discredit George Foreman. People need to stop getting so butthurt when people state their opinions. He said he thought Pacquiao won the fight as did many.

Sorry not everybody thought it was a 120-108 landslide wipeout for Pacquiao.

Buying the rematch does not support boxing it supports Arum the guy the boxing world is turning against and should have done long ago its pretty easy to figure out.

Arum is bad for the sport if his next PPV fails maybe he will be forced to retire which will in turn be good for boxing.

Arum will never die. He'll fake his own death and retire to a lair. Probably in a volcano. He will continue to ruin boxing and everyone that opposes him.

No, I couldn't care less about the rematch.

his work rate did slow down a lot the last 3 Rounds and Bradley starts to land a lot more so George might be on to something, but you know the Sensitive Pacquiao fans will just come and try to Attack George for being honest

Yes Pacquiao won, but it wasn't as DOMINATING of a performance as HBO was Presenting to the Views, but I get why the did it, Roach Predict that Bradley would not win a round so I think HBO did their Best to make Roach look like some type of "GENIUS" especially with him Entering The Hall Of Fame this Week

his stomach wasnt as cut up and he wasnt as sharp i wish arum never got a hold of this guy hes ruined his career seriously

[jtiger777]

No! No he wasnt. The only thing that showed was the extra intentional weight he carried strictly for hydration purposes. Expect pacq to come in next time around 145 146 next time. On another note. I honestly dont think bradley wants a rematch. He knows he cant beat pacq even at his best. Everyone is going to be out to get him. And pacq esp . Its a lose lose for bradley. He knows pacqs not scared or intimidated of him. And now after being in the ring w him. He knows pacq will be just that much more prepared. Theres nothing bradley can do that he hasnt already tried. Hes feeling the effect now after the fight. Bruised swollen face hurt ankles and feet. Hurt ego! Yea hes not really gonna want to fight pacq again.

hes been talking about a re match since 10 days before the fight why are u saying this? he wants the money man get real nobody is scared of pac man! hes not the same fighter hes wore out (although he won)

Compubox is prone to human error as well.

It really shouldn't be taken seriously at all.

Come on, did Tony Thompson really outland Wladimir Klitschko? Did Floyd land over 200 punches on Oscar, Oscar 120 on him?

[Allucard]

God I love these post. You guys keep exposing yourslefs as fake boxing fans even more. I do like the fact that you few feel the majority of the world including a majority of the boxing comunity in itself is wrong. Making yourselves look like bigger fools.

Watch the fight again, no sound, HD. See for yourself. HBO = Compubox = PEOPLE. Make your own mind dude. It was a closer fight than you think. Power isn't a scoring factor. Clear punches is.

Ring generalship/ effective aggresion > pacs 3 punches

IMO

LOL, Pacquiao controlled the ring and was the aggressor.

Bradley injured both his feet running from Pacquiao.

I dont know why could anyone see that pac was not the ring general on this fight just amazes me... manny controlled the tempo of the fight and we only have action when he wanted to...

Here's some facts:

I'll give you JMM. I had JMM winning the close, competitive 2nd fight.

We agree here, but I see where you are going. You are using meaningless tune ups to justify Pacquiao targeting these men coming off career losses.

De La Hoya just won against the light punching Steve Forbes. De La Hoya also dictated the weight to Pacquiao at 147. Pacquiao was not at fault that he was drained. Also keep in mind that De La Hoya was the heavy favorite going into the fight.

If you think that a champion veteran of the game is going to come in at 145lbs as an advantage then we can stop right here. I don't have time for intentional thickheadedness. Floyd fought DLH and let DLH come in @ around 170lbs. Pacquiao could have done the same. Instead he fought a drained and emaciated looking zombie. Comparing the two fights are apples and oranges. DLH was not the perceived threat that Floyd fought in his fight with Manny. The weight and condition were EVERYTHING concerning DLH's perceived threat. It was the whole value and build up to the fight.

They marketed the fight as DLH being "too big" for both fighters. The difference is that DLH outweighed Floyd by 20lbs on fight night. Pacquiao outweighed DLH on fight night. That turned the tables and failed to deliver what was promised" A David vs Goliath type match.

Ricky Hatton came off a tough win against Juan Lazcano and easily beat Paulie Malignaggi before fighting Pacquiao at a weight he had never been beaten at.

Ricky Hatton contemplated retiring after Floyd KO'd him. He lost the will to win, and when he finally did make it to the Pacquiao fight, he came out swinging for the fences. He was not the perceived threat that he was when Floyd fought him.

Miguel Cotto had beaten Michael Jennings for the vacant WBO welterweight title and had "won" against Joshua Clottey before meeting Pacquiao.

Notice how you put won in quotes? You know that Cotto was on the come back at that point. Arum set up that farce of a match against Jennings for a paper title to lose to Pacquiao. He had to get dirty and cheat to beat Clottey .. which says a lot.

Joshua Clottey had "lost" a fight against Miguel Cotto (which many believed he won including your idol Floyd Jr.), but was still considered a top 5 welterweight in the world before fighting Pacquiao.

First off, my Dad was my idol. Mayweather happens to be the boxer I support because he's the only one who has made it a point to face the #1, 2 & 3in every division he's fought in.

Second, Clottey has lost every significant match he's ever been in. Joshua was simply another in house fighter that Arum used to legitimize his Filipino pet project. This fight was supposed to silence critics that said that Pacquiao avoided slick, young Black fighters. Joshua has NEVER been slick, but he sure is Black.

Antonio Margarito had fought a tune-up fight with Roberto Garcia in Mexico. Margarito said himself that he had no weight issues for the Pacquiao fight.

Margarito was BANNED for cheating at the time of his match with Pacquiao. And regardless what Margarito said, the CW still negates ANY legacy value that the fight may have held.

Mosley came off a draw with Sergio Mora and he looked crap. I'll give you that one.

You don't have to give me anything. Pacquiao targeted 6 different men on 6 different occasions ONLY after someone else beat them. Three of the wins were products of weight issues. One was banned.

Is that how champions conduct their careers if they have any interest in being a ATG?

HELL NO.

JMM fought another close fight and IMO felt that won the 3rd fight.

Like I wrote, Pacquiao's true legacy lies with his wins over Barrera and Morales.

The JMM decisions were crap calls. Everything over 135lbs that Pacquiao has done has been meant for excitement, not greatness.

Greatness comes from beating the best when they are at their best .. the best being the #1, #2 and #3 ranked fighters in a division.

In old times, warriors would not duel an opponent who was injured or put at a disadvantage. It wasn't honorable, and a win over an opponent who could not give their best effort meant nothing.

Nowadays, that dynamic is lost on this new generation who doesn't care how Manny wins, only that he wins.

There is no honor in that.

Could any of you imagine if Frazier would have beaten Foreman? And then afterwards Ali challenged and beat Foreman?

What if Ruiz would have beaten Roy Jones. Would there have been a Tarver?

If Tszyu had beaten Hatton, would anyone have wanted to see Floyd fight him?

If the next mandatory beats Martinez, will the buzz for a fight against Mayweather still be there?

When you put things in their proper perspective, you see them for what they are.

Pacquiao targeting 6 fighters consecutively ONLY AFTER they lost is telling. Some of them challenged Manny before and he refused them only until they seemed beatable.

Manny's efforts above 135 have about as much substance as a hollow egg shell, but below he was very impressive. Let his merits stand on their own and stop trying to make him seem more legitimate than he really is.
