    Just rewatched Pacquiao/Bradley2, SOBER...

    1. Manny looked really, really good in there against a guy that's damn near impossible to look good against.

    2. Floyd ain't never ever ever ever ever fighting Manny.

    3. Manny/Floyd needs to happen NOW. But see #2.

    4. Manny would beat Floyd. I noticed something. When Floyd bobs his head and goes defensive, he doesn't punch back unless you throw single, slow shots. Manny would keep him frozen with his combinations, and honestly, Floyd would have to come forward and bully Manny in order to win, but his chin isn't like Bradley's, so I doubt he does that. Also, I've now concluded after watching this fight. Floyd moving backwards and straight up boxing Manny would lose him a decision.

    5. I had an epiphany last night. I swear on my life, I'm not just saying this. The only guys to really beat Manny are guys that TOOK Manny's shots, then fired back with their COMBINATIONS. You don't just slip and rip Manny. You might on occasion, but it's mainly, taking his shots, then firing back in a dog fight. Ex. Morales 1 and JMM fights. In order to beat Manny, you need to take his shots, and then fire back. He throws too many, and comes in too fast for you to slip him and then counter with one shot. Floyd doesn't fight like that at all. He avoids, and then goes into a defensive shell.

    Also, you must INITIATE the action on Manny to win rounds.

    6. This is why I love Manny. He fights guys like Bradley, and looks great doing it. He fought the #3 P4P fighter in the world, while another guy's fighting a cherry picked plodder that will make him look like God.

    Nice to see you've seen the fight in a sober state. I've Watched it again. PAC was masterful. His ring I.Q. Shows. He's a guru in the ring. The guy still has speed and power when he needs it.

    Those combos were lethal! Awesome fight. One for the books. One of his best fights.

          He boxed beautifully against the #3 P4P fighter in the world.

          Floyd is never ever ever ever gonna fight Manny now.

            Floyd will never fight Manny.

            Bradley got his ass wooped for 12 rounds.

              Shout out to Justin Fortune. Manny legit looked like he could legit go another 12 rounds.

                He doesn't have the activity, movement, or sharpness to beat Mayweather anymore. Let it go. Pac's one of my all time favorites, but those days are over.

                He'd spend 12 rounds getting potshotted and accept it all the way.

                  Manny had Bradley desperately swinging for the fences. He got caught a couple of times but controlled the second half of the fight and they were about even in the first half. He took over and started to pick him apart, reducing him to the clowning that cost him most dearly. This is against a young, prime, top level P4P guy who he first fought two years ago. He's able to put on that type of performance this late in his career, and following a devastating knockout loss. If people don't respect Manny now, I don't know what to say.
