Comments Thread For: Bradley: Pacquiao is Declining, I'll Beat Him Easier!

[Phil Ivey]

I hope he don't go into the rematch with that attitude. I guarantee you will see a hungrier, angrier more determined and agressive Pacquiao in November than he did in June.

He needs to be way more prepared in the rematch than he was in the first fight.

Oh yeah? That's what everyone said including Pac about the 3rd Marquez fight.

Even though Bradley got a gift a couple weeks ago he is right about Pac declining. In the Margarito fight he reached his absolute peak, his power and volume has diminished in every fight since then.

Absolutely... have you ever seen Pacquiao smile at the cameras during a fight???? NEVER. He knew, as the announcers knew, as all of Boxing watching knew, Bradley had NOTHING for Pacquiao, couldn't hurt Pacquiao, and Manny knew as much too. Manny really wanted a great performance from himself and he knew he was providing that! Freddie Roach guaranteed Manny would not lose a round, and he was nearly dead on! The HBO announcers said, "what we have tonight, is a good fighter in Tim Bradley, and a great fighter in Manny Pacquiao.... clearly a difference in punching power...and Manny knows Bradley can't hurt him".... Manny Steward even went on to say this much, "Some guys are muscle bound, look exceptionally strong and fit, yet for some reason, they just don't possess any punching power", as he described Bradley. They went on to say, "Pacquiao's timing looks exceptional, he's landing lead, straight left hands straight down the middle on Bradley, at will". Furthermore, "Notice the difference in head movement.... Pacquiao moves his head extremely well, never attacks with punches without moving his head side to side, much like Mike Tyson did so well in his prime. On the other hand, Tim Bradley NEVER moves his head, either when he punches, or when he's backing away from Pacquiao, which is why he has been eating straight left hands from Manny Pacquiao all night". The WBO collectively pulled 5 top Boxing judges together and recently watched and scored the Pacquiao/Bradley fight, and it was unanimous... the closest one judge had it was 115-113 for Pacquiao... the other 4 judges had it a near shutout for Pacquiao.... the bottom line is this: The FIX was in and here's why... Larry Merchant nailed it. Manny Pacquiao made large changes to clean up his life. Swore off the nightlife, eliminated ******** from his life, sold all his businesses that had anything to do with ********, in exchange for more peace thru Religion. Go figure... Vegas & Religion do not go hand in hand, and Manny Pacquiao has too big of a global presence, and Las Vegas wanted him off their center stage. What a shocker!!!

Pac did it in the Hatton fight, he wrinked and smiled at the crew

Bradley is really milking his win, the way he is talking is like he couldn't even believe he beat the great Manny Pacquiao, now he is trying hard to justify his victory only thing is this guy is too ****** to realize he is just making himself look bad, his legacy as a fighter is dead, nobody respects this clown anymore.

So basically you know Pacman is washed up and declined in the fight yet you still got a gift? So Pac was washed up yet you couldn't even destroy a washed up Pacman? You must suck Bradley if you couldn't even beat a washed up declining Pacquiao convincingly.

The one thing you gotta give respect to Floyd for is after he beats his opponents he shows them respect, this guy is a clown, Floyd never opened his mouth talking **** after he knew he lost that Castillo fight, instead Floyd gave Castillo a rematch cause he knew he had to for his legacy to be secure.

Bradley you better talk that **** to Pacman's face in the build up tot he rematch, I just hope that Born Again pastor isn't with Manny this camp, that dude really needs to leave Pacman alone he made Pac soft.

That's the point though, he knows the majority of the boxing world hates him, so he's trying so hard to embrace it and put on the villain role. He's doing a horrible job at it though.

One thing I give credit to Floyd for is he never disses his opponent after he beats them he gives them credit, he only talks crap to build the fight, but Bradley is actually dissing a guy who he clearly didn't beat. I feel that's how Bradley really is as a person, fake.

At first I thought this was Bradley being out of character to sell a fight, but he doesn't have to sell a fight anymore and him getting a gift was good enough for people to pay for the rematch down the line.

I think this is actually Bradley's real nature, remember this is a guy who bragged about being a bully and wanting to be a thug when he was a kid, he even bragged about beating up a kid on a wheel chair. Bradley really is a bad guy who was trying to come off as a good guy, his true colors came out when he got some shine.

If remember, when he got that win over Nate Campbell after he head butt him he was doing the same **** that he is doing now talking mad **** and being a douche bag acting like he won the fight fair, Nate said Timmy was a fake christian or something like that and even wanted to beat him up when they went to the court house when the decision got overturned to a NC.

People are pointing to Pacquiao's decline in workrate as a reason as to him declining.

The truth is he did the same exact thing in the Cotto fight.

I think when he feels a certain level of comfort in a fight, due to him thinking he is ahead by a wide margin or the fact his opponent can't hurt him....he takes those long stretches off, allows his opponent to try and build confidence....only to turn it on at the end of the round and re-establish dominance.

He did do the same thing versus Cotto, and Cotto hit Pacman way more than Bradley did and still at the time of the stoppage Pacquiao was winning comfortably on the cards.

Pac was in absolute prime vs. Cotto. If Cotto would have fought Pac a couple weeks ago instead of Bradley, Cotto would be new WBO champ right now. no controversy

dont forget Haye...

Haye had a title.
