    First Pacquiao, now Bradley.

    Number 1 rule of boxing: Always wear the right socks.

      This is a poor excuse, you'd have to have on some clown shoes to feel your feet moving around in them to the point that it hurts...Pretty ****** for Tim to say. Isn't the old legend that Tyson never wore socks? Never heard of him end up in a wheelchair coz he could feel his feet weren't secure.

      I respect Tim in the ring, but lets get real, he hurt his foot coz Manny rattled him up and he placed it down wrong as he was retreating (Towards the end of Rd.4 if I'm not mistaken) socks don't do that, being smacked in the head does.

        They were trading pretty wildly at short range near the ropes and Manny caught him with a few heavy shots in quick succession. Socks or no socks Tim was getting his ass chewed up in an exchange and jumped out the nearest window.

          What a bs excuse. Bradley got 5 million for that fight so he could easily afford the best socks money could buy. Why did he chose not to wear socks? If not having socks on was troubling him he could have had socks brought to him in a few minutes or he could have borrowed socks from any member of his team. Socks are not some rare, hard to get, item. Bradley has always made an excuse of his feet being badly injured from the start of the fight and his footwork looked as good as ever. I never saw him limp even once during the fight.

            Yeah man thats what I'm talking about, Tim clearly had his head rung for a moment and staggered during his retreat. Blaming it on socks instead (as well as claiming to have won 8-4) I can't help but feel like Bradley is a in a little state of denial about that fight to be honest with you...

                    Pretty common knowledge that if you aren't wearing socks you win a fight, let alone against Pacman. This makes it all so logical! Btw. Tim won 11-1. I can sit down with anybody! I don't care!
