I can make an argument for a lot of other fighters who've been given decisions and those who've had decisions they deserved taken from them..Vera most recently of course, even Jose Luis Castillo's case..Marquez vs Pacquaio 3...this fight of Bradley vs Manny wasn't one of them..he fought a great fight but did he do enough to dethrone a champion? I'm sorry but no...If Ruslan literally had this dude unconscious on his feet half the fight just fighting off reflexes and didn't get the nod...no. If Vera just walked down Chavez and didn't get it...no. If Marquez hemmed Pacquaio up in their third fight and didn't get it...no. I'm sorry slow mo, angles, muted Bradley in no way shape or form put on a good enough showing to dethrone a champion that night. I think people ignored the fact that even Pacquaio's biggest arch nemesis the Mayweather's called it a robbery speaks volumes as to how others felt of the result. When the Mayweather's come out in defense of Pacquaio I think it speaks volumes about what the result should've been.
      Just a quick point which seems to have been forgotten in the melee. The WBO appointed a large group of regularly working judges to watch and judge the fight from all angles including slo-mo.

      As far as I can recall-and am open to correction- I believe that 11-0 was the vote for MannyP winning almost every round. And the reporters and other expert watchers were about 50-60 to about 2-3 for Pacquaio. There was a huge list published on here at the time of the outrage demonstrated.

        Stop spreading lies. Margaret Goodman runs VADA and it's funded by donations from promoters, boxers and other interested parties. Conte is only on the advisory board as is a group of others, and has no running of the institution at all.

        From the beginning this was made clear, and also that it is FREE for boxers eho wish to take advantage of it. It made it's name by their catching Peterson who had used synthetic testosterone when he'd actually passed the NSAC tests by being under their required limit. He was even under VADA limit, but their testing was more specific,especially for synthetics. They are supposed to be the only entity which tests for synthetics..

        You low-level intelligences all sound like Grand Opera, what with unconcealed conspiracies open to even idiot BoxingScene posters to see.....

          Marquez is NOT doing USADA testing either though. Kinda kills your argument...

            What is he? WADA?
            USADA busted Morales and destroyed a test in the Quillen/Winky fight right?

              It´s funny, Bradley said that HBO commentators had Paquiao on a pedestal and were cheeering at anything Paquiao did so that got into the viewers´minds but he doesn´t say that commentators always have Mayweather on a pedestal and even applaud his hugging, running and cheating tactics.

                Marquez sacrificed his reputation to get that win over Pacquiao. I don't think he'll ever be looked upon in the same way again.
