    Manny don't look the same to me because usually the guy is more cut up. He does look a lil soft but that doesn't mean it works against him and same for Bradley because last time Roach and Ariza said Muscle would not help a fighter was before the Juan Manuel Marquez 3rd fight. Can't wait to see how the fight turns out.

      How is that part-time?
      Im talking mentally.

      Sure you're right, most top tier fighters are only fighting 2-3 times a year but it's what they do on their off time and how they utilize their mental & physical states during those times.

      I would assume working full time as a congressman, making movies/tv shows on the side and having all these other distractions will eventually take a toll on a person. Its not the same as your average fighter who has the luxury for r&r to heal their body & mind. And more often than not those fighters are usually back in the gym within a couple of weeks for light training.

      Its what they live & breath full time, its all they know. When you're busy with so many important responsibilities one day one of those priorities will have to take a backseat for the other. I mean the man is a beast dont get me wrong but he's only human & we all have out limits.

        Pac's been cutting weight for some time now; which tells me he could fight Sergio at 154 just like Mayweather can.

        It's sad that they try to bring Sergio down to 150.
        It's either down or up in weight. When was the last time Pac fought a WW Champion or even a Title holder without a weight stipulation?

        Cotto (WW title holder) had to cut weight, JMM (LW Champ) had to move up, Bradley (JWW Champ) has to move up. They're now talking about Cotto again but only if he (moves down in weight)... Not to mention Martinez (MW Champ) having to fight at 150 yet when accepted they ran faster than Mosley did when running to Pac for a fight after KO'ing the p*ssy that is known as Margarito. Again, Pac declined that fight too...

          Also a lot less wild and relentless, much more of a boxer these day, which can be a bad thing sometimes
          Pacquiao has always been a nice guy in the ring. He eased up on De La Hoya and Margarito. Kept on tapping gloves with Mosley. He brutalized Diaz, Hatton and Cotto though.

            Manny's priest told him it's ok to put on more weight. Why?
            Cuz god told him.

              Im just saying, if Pacquiao has one more fight in him, I hope this is it. I don't care if he loses to Marquez, I don't care if he loses to Mayweather (a fight I no longer care about) or whoever else. I just hate how Bradley when this whole fight was announced was all nice and smiles but towards the end he just turned into some "bad ass dude" who does nothing but talk smack. You either be one or the other, dont change your personality half way thru the promotion.

                Who cares about personalities outside of the ring.

                Obviously Bradley's trying to promote/sell the fight. Good for him if that's what he wants to do.

                Stop being so sensitive.

                  Especially when there hasn't been a need to do it because Pac can make all the legal limits just fine.

                    People forget that boxers job is not only to fight but also sell. Pac is the good guy and with a good guy, you need the bad guy and this is what Bradley is doing. I wouldn't doubt if his people told him to do it.
