    He did this against Cotto and Margarito

    If Pacquiao wanted to not be hit, he wouldnt be hit. He has the best head movement in boxing today and has elite footwork and footspeed.
    so dumb smh

      1) No, Pac made Mosley look bad. Like, LITERALLY running away from him, bad.

      2) Prime Pacquiao didn't know how to stop punching and moving. Another level? I'm confused here. We're taking about a well past prime/war torn/not motivated/bored/disengaged Pac vs. a fresh/prime Bradley, and the fight wasn't even close.

      Marinate on that one.

        To say Pac could do a better Bradley then Bradley himself is a bit foolish man..That would mean Pac's stamina and ring I.Q. would have to go to another level..I don't know if that's possible for Pac..The same way it's not possible for Tim to have Pac's punching power..These guy's are top fighters for different reasons..

        It was awfully hard to look good against mosley that night the way he was running lol

Pacquiao's a destroyer, when he gets hit he throws his hands up, claps his gloves and tells his opponent to try and do it again before unleashing a 10 punch combo. When a guy like Mayweather gets hit he shakes his head before doing a lap around the ring
          Sometimes he gets hit and goes into a coma

            Trust me, Bradley's my guy, and I have TONS of respect for him, but proof is in the pudding. Old Pac beat him handily.

                Pac's style is what leaves him open at times and he knows this but when he is on the attack all the time he's gonna get hit its part of the game.

                  Because Pac is a very talented fighter,which is what I said from jump..All you hard tho was that Pac is not as smart as fighters like Marquez Bradley Mayweather..Which in reality he's not..His best chance to win against all three of those fighters will be to be very aggressive and lead to win those fights..Pac does not fight well going backwards..

                    The mere notion that Pacquiao could be a defensive fighter if he wanted to is probably the most idiotic and blasphemous statement I have ever heard in my entire life. I'm shocked that there are several of you here stating it. It only states loud and clear that you people haven't the slightest clue of how styles work or what styles really are. Manny does not have god awful defense or head movement but he is there to be hit....all night. This is just plain ******, it's a disgusting notion.

                      The judges scored for Bradley everytime Bradleys arms twitched, or his arms were extended, even if the punches didn't reach the target or hit Pacs forearms or gloves.

                      And Bradley sure did try to fool people with his half hearted arm extended routine, there sure was a lot of movement with his jab. Except that the jab wasn't trying to score, let alone hurt anyone.
