I'm not saying that Manny can't still fight. I am saying that for Bradley, who fought injured, and still did as well as he did it raised more questions about Manny's ability. Then you have to ask yourself when was the last time Manny turned in a solid, dominating performance. Most honest fans would say the fight against Margarito, but I'm sure plenty would disagree.

Based on what? His dominant performance against Bradley and JMM3? LOL .. I don't think so.
Manny Pacquiao has been riding the hype wave since his fight against Margarito ... or maybe even Cotto.
If one were honest with himself, he'd have to ask when Pacquiao last looked like he was pure dynamite.
Clottey? Horrible fight for Manny.
Mosley? Horrible fight for Manny.
JMM3? A gift for Manny.
Bradley? Close fight against a foe with a broken foot where Manny looked less than ordinary.
I am DEFINITELY not saying that Broner would win. I am saying that his talent vs Manny's tenacity makes for a competitive match where I think Broner would have a better than average chance if he didn't let Manny dictate the pace.
That's the key. That's how Morales beat him. That's how JMM beat him in the third fight but lost in a bad decision. Staying active while using lateral movement confounds Pacquiao .. and those are things that Broner can do.
