IMO Pacquiao looked a bit off the entire fight. Every time Pacquiao got into exchanges he would get off a 1-2 or a 1-2-3 but that's it. Bradley gave him a number of opportunities where he could have gotten probably 2 or 3 more punches through but Pacquiao just stood there waiting for Bradley. Manny was also VERY sloppy during the exchanges. It's evident especially when you compare his exchanges with a much higher skilled fighter in Cotto where Manny would throw beautiful, fluid combinations.
The prime Pacquiao against Cotto is gone where he would throw combinations, turn his opponent, and throw more combinations again. Pacquiao was also mostly flat-footed rather than the darting in-out Pacquiao we last saw in the Cotto/Clottey fights.
