    Exactly, Manny beat him at his own game..He out boxed him....

      No, Bradley does not have a lot of KO's on his resume. But a lot of that has to do with the level of competition he's been facing. This kid is fighting the best. When is the last time the p4p best got a KO??? Tim fought the explosive offensive minded Pacquiao. How often did Manny take risks in that fight? How come Manny didn't come on strong in the last few rounds??? My opinion is, Manny felt his power. I think Ruslan felt his power and Marquez felt his power. I've seen in a few fights where Tim rocks and wobbles his opponents. The problem is, he gets wild afterwards. He starts swinging wildly like he did with Alexander and Peterson. He doesn't stay patient and put his punches together. And I admit, he does throw some arm punches. But you don't reach this level by being an arm puncher.
      Great and true post..

          Tim Bradley is a hell of a fighter with so much heart it's ridiculous. But he didn't beat Manny. To put that blame on him though is horrible, it was obviously a fix seeing how the same judge had Alvarez drawing with Mayweather when that fight was even more one sided.
          We will never know who fixed the fight but someone did that's for damn sure.
          That judge wasn't the only one who had Bradley winning. All three judges had it extremely close. So I'm not buying that. Maybe they saw a close fight because it was actually a close fight, regardless of what some people think. Only idiocy I see are those who scored the fight 10-2, blah blah. Bradley's jab and body work went virtually unnoticed by the masses who cheered every Manny miss as if it had landed. And Manny missed a lot. And over the final 3-4 rounds he was clearly outboxed. I really don't have an issue with joining Tom Hauser and others in the minority who saw Bradley winning. I just pray to God that there is a rematch to settle this once and for all.

            Both guys were too fast for those who watched the fight at normal speed -- Manny in throwing, Tim in dodging... But because he was throwing, Manny got the credit...

                He is not getting 8 mil,,, thats like cotto type money,,,


                Bradley is worth about 5 mil, because at the end of the day he does not bring that many fans...

                He is one of my favorites currently, but no way is going to get 8 mil

                  Has Bradley said he wants $8mil? Or is this like when Roach was saying Mayweather wanted the Pacquiao fight at 154

                    Huh, are you implying that the guys can throw and dodge at speeds too fast for the human eye to see!? Haha, this isn't some cartoon, your not watching Hajime No Ippo now!!
