Comments Thread For: Bernstein Was Not Impressed With Pacquiao's Performance

[The Big Dunn]

Ya BIG DUMM, The Self Proclaimed, Greatest of All Time waits tell
LAST Minute to play Commissioner, and the 50/50 Rejection, by a
Cat that says he would have Beat the GOAT Ray Robinson, were
Truly Unrealistic, Give Me a BREAK!!!

So with all the illegal performance enahncing drug use in all of sports, in your mind it was an unrealistic demand for floyd to request OST for both fighters and it was ok for manny to reject the fight because of it. I doubt you'd feel the same way if manny was not involved.

...but no mater how many people say floyd Could beat pacquiao.....floyd won't fight him period.

That's why fantasy fights are the worst invention in boxing. Boxers have ready-made excuse not to fight. He'll win anyway. And here's a businessman boxer avoiding an easy fight easy money.

A win for the fans you mean? Yeah, I guess. Losses for him? Definitely. Manny should fight Bradley again, lose, fight Marquez, win, then retire. No point in seeing a Mayweather fight now. He would get bludgeoned.

Mayweather would beat up on Manny until Freddie Roach threw in the towel. Two many pros over Pacquiao in that match up. I disagree with Pac fans saying he is declining because that has always been Pac's style of fighting but the fact that he is fighting guys who use a lil skill instead of staying there and letting Pac beat up on them. Manny has never been a technical fighter but mostly a speedy guy with a lil pop. What's funny is that Mosley got dropped by Pacquiao but Bradley didn't get dropped with two broke feet? Clottey/Mosley in my opinion were totally fixed. Manny had a good run but knew it would not last long. dude should have fought Floyd after Cotto because when he lost by now it would have meant nothing because he still would have been a top guy. Arum totally screwed Manny Pacquiao for his own personal gain. Mayweather fight is never happening and all because Arum and his pride.

Pac is definitely on the decline. Just look at his movement around the ring lately, or lack thereof.

i wasn't impressed as well...it was a below par performance by pac.
but for someone who would rather watch the nba game than start warming up in his dressing room, that's kinda expected.

mother****er is no longer focused and hungry despite being past prime already. in his weak performance, he still schooled bradley though.

This is kinda of my impression as well.

I see his fire not being there if anything.

Despite all of this, the fact that he beat the 3rd best fighter,147 and below, by a wide margin (9 rounds to 3) says a lot about how talented Pacquiao is as a fighter.

Manny has looked like crap in his last 3 fights.

Started with Mosley, even though he won that fight easily he still looked limited against a past it fighter. Fought Marquez and was clearly outboxed but got a gift. Now the Tim Bradley fight, which once again showed just how one deminsional he is.

How people can still talk about Pacquiao being the best fighter today is beyond me.

Maybe the opponents are not so slow when they not weight drained , you can only be as good as your opponent or as fast as he is slow .

No. His now stationary style and lack of a bounce has everything to do with him slowing down.

The bold is sooooo true.

Why not take video into After Effects or the like where timing can be down to 100th of a second and time movement such as punch speed , its like they say Floyd has slowed down , its a natural aging it doesnt mean there is something wrong as most fighters slow down and become more efficient as they get into that pre retirement stage , people try to use this as a Manny excuse for his poor performances yet prior his trainer says he is in the best camp of his life and never looked better , I still say a lot in how you look on fight night is on your opponent and where he is at, Mannys killer hype is based on 3 fights Hatton Cotto and ODH and all of them had big issues .
