Comments Thread For: Bradley's Trainer: Pacquiao is Not The Same Fighter

[-Makunouchi-]

Lol look at my sig pic, that's how PAC will be remembered

Hiding in ALT is a bad thing

He's right. He is not the same fighter. And he hasn't been for about 3 years since maybe the Margarito fight. One of the reasons why he lost to Marquez. He slowed down just enough so that Marquez could time him.

Pacquiao's 1st knockdown ... Pacquiao would've seen the punch coming if he was still prime PAC. PAC always has gotten hit but mostly in exchanges. That was a shot coming in from a long distance away.

PAC got by dominating his competition for a long time due to his power/speed/awkward angles advantage. He just doesn't have the same stamina anymore. KTFO6 woke him up to the reality that he cannot just rely on his athleticism/physical attributes. He has to rely on more of ring intelligence now.

Even a past prime, faded Pac man should take care of Bradley. If he can't, he needs to retire.

curious as to how you managed to get rep power of 13 with posts like this

lol yea, like how pac got a washed up morales in the 3rd fight, de la hoya, over the hill barrera, mosley. yeah exactly like that but you and your pac fans are going to reply and say all those fighters were in their prime or something ******.

Over the hill Barrera???

Wtf how long have u been watching boxing,,, at the time manny beat Barrera, Barrera was the featherweight kingpin having beaten undefeated prime morales and prince nasem, and he would go to have a nice reign at 130,

What he is saying is true though... Bradley just does not match up well vs any version of manny based on his style and lack of punching power


Manny is style nightmare for Bradley

im a pacfan but i have to admit pac's best days are over..maybe for a few years now..but even with this version of pac, i think he can handle this braldey pretty easily ....as long as he keeps his activity , forget everythng else ...

That's the problem, though. At 35 he can't keep up the activity for a whole three minutes for 12 rounds in a competitive fight.

Manny should thank god every night that Bradley doesn't KO power. Bradley is now in his prime while Manny is not. Bradley cares less about fan approval now and will move around the ring. I honestly think he is going to try to open up on Manny down the stretch. That would have been a huge mistake 5 years ago. But at 35, Manny just is not the same machine. Marquez always gave Manny problems because he made him think. Well Bradley is better at it at this point and will have Manny trying to figure out how to attack him. He will get countered all night. It will still be a very exciting competitive fight. I expect to see some knock downs in this fight. Manny's left is still lethal, but Bradley has a nasty right hand as well. His punching power is sickly underestimated. He won't keep Manny down, but he has the pop to drop him if he catches him coming in wildly. I see it being very close until the late rounds. Tim will pull away in the championship rounds and get another split decision. This fight will be much better than the 1st.

Pacquiao has a punchers chance but thats it. If Bradley doesn't go in overconfident he should win this fight easy!

Well he did get lucky.. He lost that fight so how do you call that? Nobody says he sucks, he clearly won the Marquez fight with ease, but he lost to Pacquiao pretty clearly too...

the fight could have gone either way. but some of you dudes are here acting like pac just walked right through tim and now wonder how pac lost. i will tell you, pac was lazy in that fight and tried that old tired sugar ray leonard flurry at the end of each round to try to steal a round crap. and the judge that had pac ahead only had him by 2 rounds so the fight was close, tim got the win pac took another loss. and the show goes on. you could say the same thing about the 3rd pac vs jmm fight. most had jmm winning but the official record says jmm lost so there it is. the show continues.

wrong!!!!! timmies lateral movement is a night mare for pac. pac has trouble with any fighter that has good movement. he looks fantastic vs plodders who cannot move. but vs tim he will get a boxing lesson for sure.
