Floyd is screwed now. He's retiring soon and the Pacquiao fight is slipping away. Bradley/Pac rematch is sure to happen. Then a trilogy. Then the Marquez 4. Floyd will now end up becoming a permanent duck.
thats true, never said it wasnt going both ways. but pac is declining faster imo. floyd pretty much fought the whole 2 against cotto, say what u want. with pac u get leg cramps, taking rounds off, gassing at points, lower punch counts. look at the last 4 rounds of the bradley fight, ive watched it 3 times already. he was gassed. bad. its not gonna go away, his style is what it is. and its high energy high punch output.

G**** on bringing floyd up, but this is a pacquiao thread friend.
So I've seen people made comments saying he didn't look good or is past it, was I the only one who was very impressed? I mean he dominated Mosley too but didn't look too good in that fight but this fight he was really sharp in all areas.
The skill disparity was CLEARLY evident and Pacquiao made Bradley look bad not vice versa like some expected, Bradley was quite crafty so he knew how to survive (I really don't think anyone 147 or below can TKO/KO him) but I guess you could make a case that Pacquiao could've been much more aggressive later rounds.
well u come on here labeling floyd as a certain type of fighter when he clearly isnt that and u expect ppl to take u seriously? blame urself. and like i said, based on each of their last 3 fights, its obvious to me that pac is declining fast. one thing he does well is lead with his left. the other thing ppl have expected of him, the high punch output and the vigorous footwork just aint there anymore. he gasses and he gasses bad. so like i said, i suggest u go back and rewatch some more fights and tell me the difference between the pac of 2008 2009 and the pac we have seen recently. if u cant spot it, then yea, i cant help u. its more than obvious to me.
He actually did amazing relative to the opponent he was facing. his defense was very solid against a guy, while he throws wide shots, he throws them at certain angle and in certain body positions, where your not balanced and he will hit you. many's footwork looked exactly the same to me. his positioning might be a little better actually. you have to remember, manny cant throw as many shots at a guy like bradley, because of his head movement. cotto had no head movement, so he got killed. bradley has footwork and head movement, so to see him get tagged like that was very impressive. while people look at manny getting more tired and less prone to come wih flurries, bradleys style is constant body movment and constant head movement, while wrestling you and roughing youp on the inside. that style is extremly fatiguing for any opponent. so for what opponent was in front of manny, i think he looked great.
