The Official: "Pac-Man" Pacquiao vs "Desert Storm" Bradley 3 Fight Discussion Thread

[IronDanHamza]

How aren't they? They absolutely are. Until Maidana returns to WW Pac and Bradley are 1 and 2. Thurman is a distant 3rd on my list.

Pacquaio's coming off a loss.

Bradley's 2-1-1 in his last 4.

The WW division is clearly wide open there's no consensus #1 and #2

[WesternChamp]

pac's defense was overlooked in this fight. he didnt do any ducking and dodging to catch the attention but he blocked a lot of bradley's punches with his gloves. dude was barely touch up in this fight. manny took the least amount of damage in this fight.

Maidana and Pacquiao are both retired.

Therefore they are unranked, just like TBE.

this was his best one yet out of the other 2. he really stole and took this one away from bradley. there was no controversy what so ever. clear straight win for manny.

Pac won all three clearly.

Bradly doesn't throw enough straight punches. He lacks punching power.

this one was the most convincing. first two had the injury and bad judging, etc. fight was also closer in the first two. bradley overthink in this one with very little activity.

manny aint got the best defense but even u have to admit he caught a lot of bradley's punches in this fight. dude took the least amount of damage in this fight even compare to the algieri fight. even the first two fight with bradley, tim was snapping manny's hit back at times.

The 7th rd kd was a slip, imo

Pac was blocking his shots easily! Looked like trapping hands Kung fu!

Pacquiao's coming off a loss to one of the greatest fighters of all time.

Bradley's draw was a robbery. He beat Chaves going away and his loss is to Pacquiao.

Every rankings authority has Pacquiao and Bradley 1-2 except the RING which has Brook #1. Under no circumstance is Brook the #1 WW in the world. I will copy and paste my findings from the lineal thread I started back in 2015.

Pacquiao last 5 opponents rankings according to TBRB before fight: 3-2
#1 WW Mayweather (decision loss)
#3 JWW Algieri
#2 WW Bradley
NR Rios
#7 JWW Marquez (knockout loss)

Bradley's last 5 opponents rankings according to TBRB before fight: 3-1-1
#10 WW Rios
#7 JWW Vargas
NR Chaves (draw)
#4 WW Pacquiao (decision loss)
#2 WW Marquez

Brook's last 5 opponents rankings according to TBRB before fight: 5-0
NR Gavin
NR Dan
#6 WW Porter
NR Robles
NR Senchenko

Thurman's last 5 opponents rankings according to TBRB before fight: 5-0
NR Collazo
NR Guerrero
NR Bundu
NR Diaz
NR Karass

Porter's last 5 opponents rankings according to TBRB before fight: 4-1
#9 JWW Broner
NR Bone
#9 WW Brook (decision loss)
#10 WW Malignaggi
#6 WW Alexander

Khan's last 5 opponents rankings according to TBRB before fight: 5-0
#3 JWW Algieri
#9 WW Alexander
NR Collazo
NR Diaz
NR Molina @ JWW

Brook has fought 1 top-10 rated opponent in his entire career. Thurman has never fought one. Porter has faced decent comp but he lost to Brook. Khan is inactive. I don't see how you can make an argument for any WW to be ranked over Pacquiao or Bradley at 147.
