Can't wait...hope we don't hear any excuses.

True, its unfair on Pac, the standards held for Pac are impossibly high, people expect Pac to ko everyone, so that in itself made Pac go for KOs when they weren't there, and then he got ko'ed himself. Solely based on Pac trying to give people what people expect of him, as he made it look so easy.

Whereas for Floyd people expect Floyd to pot shot and not take any risk and not ko anyone. So therefore Floyd obliges and does what people expect. So no danger of Floyd being ko'ed.

Then Floyd is seen as the best?

Yes well put.

Pacquiao is a performer who wanted to satisfy the people, the crowd all the time. He challenges himself higher and higher...and that in itself is a commendable thing.

In this fight, though I have no doubt he can beat Tim (like the first fight), his age is getting up there and can see him really slowing down from his former self but I know he's still got the speed and power to effectively put Bradley away.

But Bradley is also a younging who is great but does everything well...though he is at his physical peak and very well-conditioned and perhaps the most conditioned athlete rivaling Pacquiao and even Mayweather. And the factor of "knowing" Pacquiao from the first fight while every conceivable angles of video documented and can be dissected and to study from, I can see him going "mobile" and trying to tire Pacquiao until he can go in and do some damage.

At least that's the plan in their side that I can see.

I can really see Pacquiao on a disadvantage IF Bradley would run around and not engage until Pac gets tired. And so I think that putting Bradley away in the early to mid rounds will be the plan.
