He should still be in his prime (or near)

Many fighters get ko losses and are still just as good as they were before.

Its up to manny to prove that he is as good as everyone thinks he is..
I agree, was ali or lennox past their prime after their first ko loss, or bad loss. real champions come back.
Pac won the first fight, unless pac got old over night, he wins this fight. Bradley will by no means lay down, but i dont think he can win.
Well to be fair it's not his first KO loss, technically it's his 3rd, but that's not why I'm saying that.

Manny was or is considered to be THE baddest man, right? Brutal speed, brutal power, brutal puncher, amazing finisher? Most dangerous guy in boxing?

Well maybe at one point... but he hasn't had a KO in 5 years since he TKO'd Cotto in the 12th! In reality, in the last 5 years it's been disappointing performance after disappointing performance. Manny "taking it easy" on guys, letting them off the hook, letting them survive, ect. And then he got outclassed by JMM in the 3rd fight and knocked out cold in the 4th. He's still very fast, but he doesn't have the killer instinct anymore. The guy who brutalized all those guys, the guy who knocked Hatton out cold with one punch, that guy is gone. And IMO we're going to see that vs Bradley.

Bradley is not going to come forward with the same abandon Hatton did, ever.
Manny is going to have to work every minute of every round to win this fight, in my opinion.
Manny will be working harder and so will Bradley, I'm looking forward to flying fists, many combinations, and some hugging. Manny wins it with superior positioning, harder punches and more big fight experience.
Can hardly wait. Fight nite! <):-})
