All that's irrelevant IMO because we're not talking about prime Manny Pacquiao.
Bradley is in his prime, Manny is on the way out.
Pac is going to get whipped.

All im saying is that just because because manny got knocked out by marquez does not mean that anything should change.
Marquez wont fight manny again as he is over 40 and he wants to retire on that win (cant blame him)
Just because manny does ko everyone with his power does not mean he cant outbox them or hes gunshy.
He cant always be aggressive (as the marquez situation will always be in his mind) but a true champion overcomes that so it will be interesting to see post rios if he can just concentrate on winning.
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.
I think it will be a genuinely more competitive fight this time around. I think it's Pacquiao's fight to loose again but I cant see him throwing two wins away at this stage of his career.
It's not like he's getting knocked out by Bradley so I think he's coming to lay it on the line a little.
If he isn't, I'm sure he will... If you know what I mean.
SD Manny.
Manny takes the first two, 6, 7, one of either 8-10 and then the last two.![]()

Looks like the Manny fans are back! Where have you been?
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Amazing how some people refuse to honestly asses a fighter. Manny has been on the slide for some time now. He CLEARLY has lost some of his speed and no longer fights with that non stop energy for the entire rounds. This is all normal considering his age and how many wars he has been in (add to that...Pac ALWAYS has distractions). The fact that some people want to ignore this and say it's all a part of Manny becoming more of a smart boxer is hilarious. What made Pac unique was the way he USED to fight. If people are going to use the Rios fight as some evidence of a new Pac...get ready for a rude surprise. I have never been a big Bradley fan...but he has come into his prime and is now fighting with confidence. I see Tim as the more hungry and live fighter. This will be a close fight but i have Bradley winning it on points.
The importance of this fight for both men has been ignored or at least understated. I doubt either man gets Floyd but both men believe there is a shot and pride is huge here to boot. Manny has seen the talk by guys like me and others that he has lost a step mentally and physically and is not the locomotive he was. Even his own trainer has said that he's got the killer instinct back which suggests something was lacking. Bradley despite his great resume has more to prove now then at any other time in his career. From a divisional standpoint, its probably the most relevant fight in quite some time. Bradley can almost afford to lose it but I'm not sure Manny can. Tim also has to know that he wont get a close decision.
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! <):-})
Have a strange feeling whoever wins that it will be a one sided fight. Bradley and camp have basically set the bar so high and talked themselves into looking like Genghis khan. Once you say a guy has lost his desire and heart..I'd like to almost see him get his ass kicked all over the ring. Might be wrong but this might be very anti climactic.
Manny is going to destroy this man by ko can i get a Ban bet with yall who dont think so
who stupid enough to pick Bradley?
