    Manny is probably half the fighter he was at his peak. But thats still better than most.

      No where near what he once was but still the best WW out there now that Floyd has retired and still one of the best P4P.

        Nowhere near where he was in his prime when Mayweather ducked him because he didn't want to walk with a limp.

          Bradley is no one punch KO guy, his KO percentage is low. Near Malinaggi low.

          Please don't glorify an expected win. It is embarrassing, even in slow motion.

          I was looking at the sticky. While when it was announced, it was a bit of a shock because people were thinking of other opponents for Manny since most believe that he won the first one too.... but once people started commenting on who would win, quite a few thought Bradley had a decent chance.


          Here is a list from just the first 7 or so pages .... Some were Bradley fans, some Manny, some neither.


          "It's a 50/50 fight but if i had to bet id bet Bradley....if the fight is close Bradley will get it" _ LARRYXXX

          "It will be a close fight, and Bradley will definitely "get the decision". That's the whole point of it being made" - BOOGMAN

          "I want Pac to win deep down. But this fight doesn't make sense at all. Bradley will win the 3rd fight and i am picking him to win" - lOIU

          "I felt Bradley was on his way to winning the second fight after the first couple rounds. A healthy Bradley is going to be very competitive regardless who is in his corner"

          i'll go with pac again. but it might be interesting


          "Bradley won the first fight"


          " Its a 50/50 fight IMO or a slight favor to Bradley"

          "Don't sleep on this fight. You are all going to be in for a surprise. Since Bradley now has atlas he will finish Manny en DosRounds!!!"

          "He's already at the top of the sport, now with Atlas, he can clean out the division if he goes on a run"

          "Bradley is coming to take boxing over.....the prophecy shall be fulfilled."

          "I've got Bradley winning this fight. Second fight he had it but abandoned his gameplan"

          "Personally, I think this fight is too close to call"

          "bradley has walked through fire since his loss to pacquiao, he owns the fire, he is the fire, he's a fireman. bradley by brutal KO."


          "Don't understand why people aren't more intrigued. I get that it's sort of a retread but it's a good matchup with plenty of implications."


          "Mandy's getting Ktfo, rd 9!!"


          "Bradley UD. Super easy choice to make. "




          "If Bradley fights like he did the first six rounds in the 2nd fight he can win."


          "If Pacquiao loses clearly - which is what I see happening - it has huge impacts"


          "This fight is gonna end up in a draw. Bank on it!"

            And you could put 1000s saying the opposite , Manny was fav and won like the fav , there is very little between those 2 but Manny has the edge to win round after round yet its very competitive , I thought Bradley could scape out a UD but the better man won , cong**** to Manny good effort .

              This version of Manny is just a shadow of himself.

              Here and there you could see the old Pacquiao but is just a blink for a few seconds during the rounds.

              His killer instinct is gone years ago and will never come back.
              He probably doesn't have the stamina and the resilliance he had in the past so he can't take those risks anymore especially after been knocked out cold like that.

              Anyway he is still a terrific fighter.

                Certainly the better man was Manny but going into the fight, I was reading quite a few posters say that it was going to be a close fight and that both stood a good chance of winning. You thought so too. That was my point.

                  It was a close competitive fight with Manny scoring the rounds , these 2 will always have fights that are nip and tuck with Manny winning each round , your quoting what some guys said as they do in every fight nothing new in that , but at the end of the day Tim put up a good show but fell short , after all Manny did beat him twice already , I gave Tim more of a chance this time because of the history and changes made over the last year and knowing they not that far apart in ability , Manny has the wood on Tim but it wouldnt take much of dip with Manny for Tim to beat him .

                  I thought it was very classy boxing and I enjoyed all the fights today , if Manny does retire it was the way to go out as none them want to retire on a loss .
