Bradley was comfortably winning the first half of the fight until he went full retard.
The reality is this; Manny IS shot and Bradley and I don't care who this guy has beaten, Bradley is not an elite fighter.
I don't care if it was just a loss to Pac, he is not an elite fighter. Only in this era might he be anywhere close.
Neither one of these guys have a p4p, elite skillset.
Manny is like a gamer - Ever played and you're implementing a strategy and lose time and time again to a guy just spamming buttons?
That is Manny.
He looked awful last night, poor accuracy, tentative, real bad defense. Getting hit with shots being winged from the back row of the crowd.
Bradley has God awful balance, he is not slick - stop throwing that around. He is stuck in an identity crisis - You call it adjustments, I call it a guy totally unsure of his own style.
Bradley is the biggest overachiever maybe in boxing history.
Good chin, great conditioning, pure heart that is about all.
No real boxing ability, what 'elite' fighter utilises all that wasted movement? This apparently makes him slick? Slick fighters don't get hit with the same shot 5-6-7 times in a row as flush as you like. You'll never see Rigo or Floyd hit twice nevermind 5-7 times in the space of 10 seconds
He fights like a cartoon. You seen a cartoon where they jokingly put their head down & just flail away? throwing windmills. He fights like he is swimming.
If that guy is a top fighter or whatever, it speaks volumes to me for just how much todays fighters suck.
That guy gets crucified in any other era.
That guys little ass gets chased out of the welterweight division where he is forced to fight in his natural weight class & he gets lumps knocked out of him.
Manny is done; if that was any other top WW with power last night he'd of been stopped.
Lucas, Garcia, Herrera should be licking their lips & making that jump up.
Both guys was horrifically bad.
:lol1::lol1:
Nah but on the real Bradley did impress me in the first half of the fight. He came to show what his made off and for a second it seemed like he was getting the better of Pacquiao. Hard to tell what happened to him after the second half of the fight. Never seen him gas out like that. Over training my guess
He could have taken Pac out, it's like he completely turned the switch off...dunno pretty weird.
Shot = when a fighter performs far below his abilities due to old age, physical decline, wear and tear, or a combination thereof. Usually results in a fighter losing to "inferior" opponents or being a stepping stone to young up n comers.
i.e.
Jose Luis Castillo vs. Sebastian Lujan
Mike Tyson vs. Kevin McBride
Pongsaklek Wonjongkam vs. Rey Megrino
Roy Jones Jr. vs anybody (sad to say)
Shane Mosley vs. Anthony Mundine (and vs. Canelo to an extent)
Manny Pacquiao just beat an in his prime, undefeated, top 3-5 p4p fighter by most media and expert lists, and did it in convincing fashion.
Manny Pacquiao is not shot.
OP sounds like an internet nerd criticizing hot chicks cuz they're elbows too pointy
PAC beat #3 p4p fighter decisively, pac looked horrible, pac is shot.
bradley is now a bum.
bradley got voodoo workin against him
bradley purposefully threw the fight
what else i miss brah

So in your mind only Floyd and Rigo qualify as "elite" that's an awful high frikking bar you are setting.
Voodoo magic brother, once the hex was in effect, Bradley's calf went, his game plan went, his balance went, his boxing went.

That's how I see it as well, Bradley fought stupid against the most vulnerable looking Pacquiao I've ever seen. I don't know what was running through his head showboating like that, Pacquiao was open down the middle, to the body and can no longer slide out of the corner as well as he used to. I don't know what I watched, I'm not disappointed in Pacquiao though I just think he no longer has it anymore.
I'm still speechless as to what happened to Bradley :dunno:

I don't think the haters realize that when they dis Pac and call him shot because of this past fight's performance -- they're actually giving him the greatest compliment possible.
Because basically they're saying that his career has been so prolific...that him not stopping or sweeping every round against a top 5 pound for pound opponent is "shot". Lmfao.
Haters need to think things through a little bit better.
I thought Bradley looked a lot like Bradley, he looked pretty good defensively but he always gets wide and sloppy from the outside, and he was forced into doing that because he couldn't win exchanges.
The only thing that disappointed me from Manny is I thought he would be able to counter those wide sloppy shots and he saw a lot of them without doing much to Bradley about it.
The differences between them can best be described as the differences between very good and great, very good is just that and maybe even able to give great a hard time but great is just better and will beat very good almost every time. Even a faded Manny is still a great fighter, but Bradley as his best will always be very good (which is good enough most nights).
The only thing "Shot" is the ability of the OP in posting sound post.
Yes Manny is definitely past prime but not "Shot". At least, not yet.
lol my sentiments exactly ... 99.999% of the professional boxers on the planet wish they were as shot as a past prime pac.
I'm not sure when past prime became shot ... but by NSB standards the ali that faced foreman was shot, the lewis that faced Vitali was shot ... the Duran that faced barkley was shot...
look a shot fighter is ... ROY Jones jnr/Mosley okay ... or to go back to ali ... the ali that fought Holmes was shot ... the ali that fought in the thriller was past prime ... Understand the difference?
Manny isn't shot...
Shot is Shane now, Roy since the third tarver fight, current versions of Judah and morales..
Manny can still win at the highest level. He isn't prime anymore, but still at the very top of the sport...

This right here. I don't know what happened to him. This was a completely emotional response, as if he lost a bet or something.
lol probably. I bet on Pac in this one, it's hard to bet against him.
Like Floyd, Pacquiao is past prime but still better than most fighters out there.
Agreed. How a "shot" fighter clearly decisions a top 5 P4P opponent is beyond my comprehension. And by the way -- tried to green k you but apparently I did recently enough to where it wouldn't let me. But I green k you in spirit, brotha ;)
Exactly!
Haha no worries man it's cool, thanks a lot though.
Haha, thanks man. Blows my mind how a fighter that is, admittedly, evidently not at the peak he once was BUT is still performing at a P4P level can be labelled shot. It's called being on the inevitable downside of a very very high peak, I just wish people could see that!

I remember when Dan posted intelligent comments, back before he got caught up in the NSB full timer club. The guys that think that if they repeat themselves enough that it adds validity to their failed predictions and misdirected enthusiasm.
Enough wishful thinking. Cut your losses and get some credibility back.
