You'd be surprised at how many people actually think Tim won, and if you went on Youtube, and saw all those videos of, "HBO's commentary team nut riding Manny, and giving him more credit for non landed shots", you'd believe that they were serious.
And I've also heard plenty of people say, "Tim was winning the later rounds. If he never turned his ankle, imagine what happened. I think he learned from his adjustments in the later rounds, and beats Manny from round 1 in a rematch."
Obviously, I've heard everything, and re watched the fight. Manny flat out won, by a good 4-5 rounds, and I was being conscious of the fact that HBO might have been ******* with the shots Manny was landing.
Still, Bradley had a FOTY candidate with Ruslan, and UD'd the guy that KOd Pacquiao. He has more momentum than any WW today, other than Floyd.
This fight makes complete sense. Pac is that much older, and Bradley is in his prime as we speak. Can Bradley adjust, and out box Pac this time? Does Pac still have it in him to repeat his first performance, and maybe get a KO?
It's an intriguing match up.
And yes. Fighting Ruslan, not only gets him nowhere, but it also shortens his career that much more, while not getting the recognition of beating a P4P caliber fighter.
I don't want Manny spending 4-6 months in training camp, sparring God knows how many rounds, then beating Ruslan, and wasting that much more time off his career. Makes no sense.
