I have lost so much respect for Freddie in the last few years. Of course they want the Rios fight and not Bradley. Rios is right there to hit and that's the only way Manny looks good. I like Manny, but he is becoming a joke in the sport. I used to like his courage and heart in the ring. I love the way he gets hit and pounds his gloves together and wants to fight. He is an action fighter. He is the real Rocky Balboa. But even Rocky fought the tough fights, like Creed and Lang. Bradley is a tough fight for them and they want no parts of it.
I can understand from Manny's fans point. His fan base thought the fight with Bradley was a walk in the park. Yet, they can't explain why Bradley didn't have a mark on his face after going 12 rounds with a heavy handed all time great. No explanation why Manny never dropped Bradley or even wobbled him. No explanation why their warrior didn't step on the gas and go for the KO against this pillow fisted back peddler. Yet, he doesn't want his title back by taking this EASY fight and making lots of money, simply because he's MANNY PACQUIAO and he will make big money anytime he steps in the ring.
The reality is, Team Pacquiao knows Rios is a B class fighter and Bradley is one of the elite. No he's not exciting, but he's never lost as a professional. He has a style that will always give Manny problems. As a matter of fact, he presents the same problems that Marquez presents. The difference is, he takes a better shot and stays on his feet, and is younger with better stamina. I truly believe they really want Floyd in the ring now, so why take that risk against a guy who is definitely capable of beating him? Manny wants out, but he wants that big payday first against Floyd. His heart is not into it anymore. You can see it in his perfomances. Roach and his whole team knows it. They honestly know that Bradley with 2 healthy legs is a serious problem and that's why Manny has no intentions of fighting him again. The old Manny would have fought for honor and his country and wanted to redeem himself and get his title back. Now its all business. Either fight Mayweather or Bradley or retire.
