hell, the first manny bradley fight was a more decisive win for manny than floyd's win over maidana let alone the second one
You mean the fight Bradley boxed his ears off?
Better question is Who present the biggest challenge, Maidana or Bradley? Maidana did.
When? After Floyd replaced his gloves with pillow? Come on. Floyd is a coward who will take every advantages his opponent has. If really he is not a coward he should allowed Maidana to wear his horse hair gloves to prove his critics wrong but instead he made sure it is included in the contract not to wear it this time. Disgrace.
Manny Pacquiao vs Tim Bradley II WAS NOT NEEDED AT ALL. That gift decision + a hard win over 40 yeard old JMM and going life and death with Ruslan tricked people into thinking Bradley was actually the real deal.
I knew damn well Pacquiao was going to win that fight with ease. I would not be surprised if you guys eat up an eventual PacBradley III smh.
Floyd went against the best option available , a rugged agressive welterweight champion. Maidana did what he was supposed to do, pressure and throw shots from all angles. Mayweather made the adjustments and won a clear decision.
a lot of bubbles, just that...
why not answer the thread directly???

The word decisive cannot be used to describe Floyds win over Maidana in anyway shape or form.
Maidana won it 115-113. The best Floyd deserved was a draw.
Good post, I agree, but not everyone does.

Really?
If anyone wasn't sure who the winner of Pac/Bradley II was, they need their eyes checked.
That fight wasn't even close but the Floyd Jr fight was close. I had it a close win for Floyd but could see how others saw it a draw.
True.
But you know who really won? Those Chino supporters who said he would give Floyd work; I couldn't see it, hats off to them.
Thanks man, that means alot, I was championing Maidana hard, it's a moral victory at least.
manny over tim.
manny also was fighting the much much much better opponent. maidana was a 10-1 underdog, not ranked in the top ten p4p, and ranked at the bottom at welterweight whereas tim was a 2-1 underdog, #3 p4p, undefeated, and is more skillful than maidana.
Ranked higher yes, but much better? I love Bradley but I think the gap between him and Maidana isn't that large. They are very different fighters, but they both posses great intangibles also.
I replied to you stating that people said the result would be Gatti/Floyd. It wasnt, but you knew/know that Maidana was a powerful slugger, so dont try to change it up. The result of the fight does not take away from maidana being who he is, a slugger with power, hence why only 4 of his wins were not by knockout.
Ok, I take that. I thought you were trying to discredit Maidana's ability to make it a tough fight for Floyd. My bad.
Have you read all the things people said about Maidana before the fight? He was 11-1 underdog bruh. Everyone said he have no chance at all, zero chance. Meaning it doesn't matter if he is a powerful puncher Floyd will DOMINATE him. And now it matters all of a sudden? I posted what Maidana suppose to do in order for him to have a CHANCE which is to throw a lot of punches whenever he pinned him against the rope. That's exactly what Chino did. He won by atleast a point or two if it wasn't for those incompetent so called boxing judges. 114-114 is acceptable, 117-111? C'mon man.

Just cause people thought the FIGHT would go the result of Floyd/Gatti, does not take away from Maidana being a powerful slugger. Nice try.
