Manny & Pac was both ****!

[Cuban Linx]

I remember when Dan posted intelligent comments, back before he got caught up in the NSB full timer club. The guys that think that if they repeat themselves enough that it adds validity to their failed predictions and misdirected enthusiasm.

Enough wishful thinking. Cut your losses and get some credibility back.

This right here. I don't know what happened to him. This was a completely emotional response, as if he lost a bet or something.

Haha, thanks man. Blows my mind how a fighter that is, admittedly, evidently not at the peak he once was BUT is still performing at a P4P level can be labelled shot. It's called being on the inevitable downside of a very very high peak, I just wish people could see that!

Agreed. How a "shot" fighter clearly decisions a top 5 P4P opponent is beyond my comprehension. And by the way -- tried to green k you but apparently I did recently enough to where it wouldn't let me. But I green k you in spirit, brotha

Exactly!

Haha no worries man it's cool, thanks a lot though.

lol probably. I bet on Pac in this one, it's hard to bet against him.

Like Floyd, Pacquiao is past prime but still better than most fighters out there.

Bradley was comfortably winning the first half of the fight until he went full ******.

The reality is this; Manny IS shot and Bradley and I don't care who this guy has beaten, Bradley is not an elite fighter.
I don't care if it was just a loss to Pac, he is not an elite fighter. Only in this era might he be anywhere close.
Neither one of these guys have a p4p, elite skillset.
Manny is like a gamer - Ever played and you're implementing a strategy and lose time and time again to a guy just spamming buttons?
That is Manny.
He looked awful last night, poor accuracy, tentative, real bad defense. Getting hit with shots being winged from the back row of the crowd.

Bradley has God awful balance, he is not slick - stop throwing that around. He is stuck in an identity crisis - You call it adjustments, I call it a guy totally unsure of his own style.
Bradley is the biggest overachiever maybe in boxing history.
Good chin, great conditioning, pure heart that is about all.

No real boxing ability, what 'elite' fighter utilises all that wasted movement? This apparently makes him slick? Slick fighters don't get hit with the same shot 5-6-7 times in a row as flush as you like. You'll never see Rigo or Floyd hit twice nevermind 5-7 times in the space of 10 seconds

He fights like a cartoon. You seen a cartoon where they jokingly put their head down & just flail away? throwing windmills. He fights like he is swimming.

If that guy is a top fighter or whatever, it speaks volumes to me for just how much todays fighters suck.
That guy gets crucified in any other era.
That guys little ass gets chased out of the welterweight division where he is forced to fight in his natural weight class & he gets lumps knocked out of him.

Manny is done; if that was any other top WW with power last night he'd of been stopped.
Lucas, Garcia, Herrera should be licking their lips & making that jump up.

Both guys was horrifically bad.

The only thing "Shot" is the ability of the OP in posting sound post.

Yes Manny is definitely past prime but not "Shot". At least, not yet.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Manny isn't shot...

Shot is Shane now, Roy since the third tarver fight, current versions of Judah and morales..

Manny can still win at the highest level. He isn't prime anymore, but still at the very top of the sport...

lol my sentiments exactly ... 99.999% of the professional boxers on the planet wish they were as shot as a past prime pac.

I'm not sure when past prime became shot ... but by NSB standards the ali that faced foreman was shot, the lewis that faced Vitali was shot ... the Duran that faced barkley was shot...

look a shot fighter is ... ROY Jones jnr/Mosley okay ... or to go back to ali ... the ali that fought Holmes was shot ... the ali that fought in the thriller was past prime ... Understand the difference?

[The Gambler1981]

I thought Bradley looked a lot like Bradley, he looked pretty good defensively but he always gets wide and sloppy from the outside, and he was forced into doing that because he couldn't win exchanges.

The only thing that disappointed me from Manny is I thought he would be able to counter those wide sloppy shots and he saw a lot of them without doing much to Bradley about it.

The differences between them can best be described as the differences between very good and great, very good is just that and maybe even able to give great a hard time but great is just better and will beat very good almost every time. Even a faded Manny is still a great fighter, but Bradley as his best will always be very good (which is good enough most nights).

[Mike D]

I don't think the haters realize that when they dis Pac and call him shot because of this past fight's performance -- they're actually giving him the greatest compliment possible.

Because basically they're saying that his career has been so prolific...that him not stopping or sweeping every round against a top 5 pound for pound opponent is "shot". Lmfao.

Haters need to think things through a little bit better.

[mathed]

That's how I see it as well, Bradley fought ****** against the most vulnerable looking Pacquiao I've ever seen. I don't know what was running through his head showboating like that, Pacquiao was open down the middle, to the body and can no longer slide out of the corner as well as he used to. I don't know what I watched, I'm not disappointed in Pacquiao though I just think he no longer has it anymore.

I'm still speechless as to what happened to Bradley

Voodoo magic brother, once the hex was in effect, Bradley's calf went, his game plan went, his balance went, his boxing went.
