    Bradley is a nice guy. A lot more fights left in his career. Hope this experience helps him.

    If Mayweather vs. Pacquiao can't happen ( :rolleyes: ), I'd rather just watch Marquez vs. Pacquiao. People complain about how often they've fought, but every fight has been a classic. It's probably the most underrated rivalry in boxing history because of the never ending clamoring for May/Pac.

    Whoa, didn't know the Rox won. I turned it off in disgust. Sweet.

    Good fight tonight. I don't care to see a 3rd, but it's almost a guarantee that's what Arum has planned.

    This woman is on roids. She should be banned from getting a floor seat just like Howard Stern.

    I won't be surprised if Mayweather announces a fight against Manny this week seeing Pacquiao almost 3 steps slower and weaker.

    yeah i agree.. pac clearly won and looked good but the fire, the power, the speed and the "killer instinct" everyone keeps talking about is clearly gone..
    Pacquiao after De La Hoya, Cotto, Hatton was soo dangerous and floyd knew.. Pacs prime was a good 3-4 years.. Credit mayweather's style has still allowed him to be in his prime..

    RIght now it's not close.. Mayweather would win a boxing match..

    I had Pacman 7-5. Awesome fight. Wouldn't be against a third fight. But you know everyone wants that Mayweather fight

    A fifth fight would be cool but I think Pac won most of the fights except for the infamous one where he got put to sleep. Even I know that if the 5th fight were to occur, Pac would win it by decision this time around.

    In their first three fights, Compubox scoring shows Marquez landing a higher percentage of punches. The fights were extremely close, could have gone either way, so I don't fault the judges. Every fight was great. There was no boring blowout. As Dan Rafael said, Marquez and Pacquiao were made to fight each other. Casual fans may not like it, but I don't give a ****. I love real boxing.

    If you already know the winner of the fifth fight, then I assume you have knowledge of the world five to six months from now. Please PM me more information, as long as it doesn't harm the space-time vortex thingy. :)

    Good fight. It's hard to make Bradley look bad, still a good fighter..good chin with a lot of heart. Pac fought well but not nearly as good as he was back then. Fought very flat footed and didn't use as many angles like he used to but he's so skilled it carried him through for another clear win. I would like to see Bradley vs Ruslan Prov 2 but Bradley would never take it.

    I'm not sure why the Bradley camp thought they needed a KO to win. I think if Bradley had decided to try and outbox him, he would have been much more successful.

    It certainly seems like Pac is going more with controlled aggression. I've read articles about how this will extend his career much in the way Floyd has, and I disagree. Manny's reckless abandon was his defense. Fighters were too busy trying to not get knocked out, to hit Manny as much. Bradley landed some very nice shots on Pac, but I really think he should have just boxed him, and I think he probably would have won.

    Bradley could not move well because of foot injury. He was winning the first few rounds.

    Everyone please boycott the Mayweather/Maidana fight

    The only way we'll get Floyd to fight Manny is if we (the buying public) send him that message by not buying his PPV's where he is the 12 to 1 favorite

    I'll be streaming the Mayweather/Maidana fight myself, and have no shame in that
