    He looked like Morales in the 3rd Pacquiao fight. Eerily similar. Gun shy, and thinking way too much about getting hurt, instead of fighting his fight.
    These are things no training camp can fix for a fighter, these are signs that a fighter has had enough. He's got nothing left to prove, bow out gracefully. Because a brutal KO loss is around the corner and he better thank god Bob won't allow him anywhere near GB's Welter Stable. The Pacquiao I saw tonight, in the ring with a Keith Thurman, I wouldn't even want to watch it.

      Once again, even a Pacquiao who is nowhere near his best still had enough to comfortably beat Bradley.

        Pacquiao still beats anyone in the world not named Mayweather and Marquez.

        He threw some bombs and traded when Bradley was throwing haymakers.

        I agree the first half of the fight, where I felt it was a 3-3 fight, Manny looked slower and noticeably lost some of his hand speed.

        But the last half, he threw combinations and showed a lot of speed. The biggest difference between now and back in 2009 is his foot movement. He doesn't move around from left to right as much anymore, or show quite as many angles, mainly due to being 35.

        That being said, Mayweather isn't as fast on his feet at 36-37 as he was in 2009-2010 at 32-33.

        Manny still looked pretty good.

          Bradley messed up I don't know wtf he was doing but he did all kinds of wrong in this fight.
          I didn't count him showboating, and I too feel that he messed up, but that doesn't change the fact that many of the rounds were close. It's hard for me to think of a round either of them won cleanly because Pacquiao never really connected, and Bradley was not active enough. That's why I do not have a problem with Pacquiao winning, but at the same time feel disgusted by a scorecard of such a wide margin.

            You said a whole lot earlier about this fight...how'd that pan out bro? What happened to the glass chin? I thought pacquaio was taking a nap? You were soooo sure of it right? Dude relax, it was a great fight. JMM and Pacquaio are not the subject tonight. Those are both legends in their own right. Give it a rest.

              I agree i had it scored the same. I think if bradley would have not showboating in the middle rounds he may have won a few of those rounds. He looked excused towards the end. PPacquiao was the better fighter but did not impress me not as fast as in previous fights. I think bradley was trying to go for a one punch KO the whole night that failed him. 118-110 is a joke no way pacman won even round
              Pac is no longer prime and his style definitely isn't suited at his age, Pac is more of a boxer now, with flashes of his intensity here and there. Though many don't appreciate Pacs boxing ability.

              He just beat a prime top p4p fighter. I give props to Pac, though I feel Bradley had the wrong game plan.

                I knew Bradley would get robbed, all those phantom punches these commentators keep saying are landing by Pacroid were missing like last fight. Rob Arum spent good money to get the decision out of the judges...Now Pacroid can take the test if he's really a clean fighter which I doubt and take a Mayweather ass whooping....
                how does it feel having floyd's **** in your mouth?

                  People need to STOP.Yes Manny isn't who he was but he still beat a fast strong young guy.Manny can STILL clean out the WW division.Manny still has speed and power.Manny is still Floyds best opponent.

                    Genuinely believe Pacquiao would destroy Thurman, perfect type of fighter for Pacquiao.

                    I see where you are coming from though, if Manny fights a counter puncher (there are very few at 147 though) it could be game over for him.
