Naw but u are and have been on mine though. Give me some room. Got Em!!
Oh ok I gotcha. Got Em!!
Huh? So what does this say????? So because Bradley says Mayweather wont stop Manny means he wont beat Manny? Is that what u think? I didnt know Bradley was the one who would know the outcome of a Floyd/Manny fight. Has Bradley even fought Floyd? Bradley was talking all kinds of shit about beating Manny before he fought him and obviously he felt different after an actual fight. Talk is talk. Speaking about the best fighter in the world dont mean jack. Floyd would pummel both o f those cats and that says it all. Got Em!!

I've yet to see a fighter say bradley won. Anyone know of anyone that did?
Andre Ward: "Tim Bradley should give his belt back after Manny Pacquiao debacle"
Super middleweight boxing champion Andre Ward says that if he was Tim Bradley, he would give back the WBO welterweight title belt to Manny Pacquiao.
Bradley won a very controversial decision against Pacquiao on Saturday, and almost all of the reporters and fans in Las Vegas thought Pacquiao dominated the fight.
"It was a ridiculous decision," said Ward, who was at the fight. "Bradley lost the majority of the rounds. If it was me personally, I would admit defeat and say, 'Here's your belt back.'"
Bradley said after the fight that he would watch it again to see if he really won. But his comments got stronger later, saying he thought he "carried the fight with my jab" and that he was the "No. 2 pound-for-pound" best fighter behind Floyd Mayweather.
If Bradley did watch the fight over again, he would clearly see that he lost the fight, Ward said. Bradley didn't get one good punch in, Pacquiao said, and Ward agreed that Bradley's lack of power was evident.
"There was nothing there, nothing to suggest it was even close," Ward said. "If you were being generous, extremely generous, maybe you could give Tim four rounds and he loses 8-4. I love Tim, he is a friend of mine, but he has to know that he lost that fight."
And Bradley should say that and give the belt back to Pacquiao.
"It's the right thing to do," Ward said. "It's a tough situation, but you gotta make a stand and that will help make sure that this kind of thing doesn't happen again. He won't lose any stock - in fact, his reputation would be enhanced.
"It would help us put the reigns on this Wild Wild West situation that boxing has become."
Ironically, if Bradley had lost the fight he might be looked at more favorably by boxing fans.
"He has nothing to hang his head about," Ward said. "He hurt his foot early and he never gave up, took some good shots and hung in there."
Ward was at the Pacquiao-Bradley match to promote his Sept. 8 fight in his hometown of Oakland against light heavyweight champ Chad Dawson. Ward was stunned just like everyone else at the MGM Grand when the split-decision result was announced.
"My first reaction was shock, then anger and then sadness," Ward said. "I have dedicated half of my life to this sport and what happened Saturday is unacceptable. And it's going to continue to happen until there is a commission that starts to impose sanctions. There have to be investigations and punishments."

It's so funny that there remains to be 1% of people who still have their heads stuck up their asses.
I don't blame the judges. That's their work. They need to make a living however they need to.
The "fans" that actually believe Bradley won. You guys have serious issues. Hannah Montana judged the fight better than you, literally.

I'll take guys like Michael Rosenthal, who scored it 118-110 for Pacquiao, Nigel Collins, Ron Borges, and 48 of 51 other boxing writers who had Pac winning over fans or even judges. Rarely ever in boxing will you see such lopsided numbers amongst writers. I think Rosenthal sums it up quite nicely:
RING Editor Michael Rosenthal on Pacquiao-Bradley: "Boxing writers have been known to screw up scoring as badly as the worst judge in the world. However, when 48 of 51 of them score a fight for one fighter, you can bet the house that fighter was the winner. There have been many bad decisions in the history of boxing. However, when we couple the scoring with the magnitude of the fight on Saturday, none are worse than this one."
Then you take into the account of all the fighters from Andre Ward, to Foreman, Lennox Lewis, Oscar de la hoya, Ishe Smith (hates pacquiao), Joan Guzman, Juan Manuel Marquez, etc etc etc. and it's crazy.

thats a dumb statement from Andre Ward and Im a huge fan of his(what a good friend he is lol, no congrats for the win), and I could care less what the Mayweathers said or any other sports writer or entertainer, they just bitter. The judges did a great job judging the fight with a unbiased view. Most of these opinions are coming from fans and writers with a biased view anyway, most of these writers made careers off talking about a Mayweather and Pacquiao showdown(FightHype.com for instance) they been waiting for 3 years to see Manny and Floyd get it on and Bradley stuck a fork in it. Bradley is the new WBO champ get over it already!. Bradley trained his ass off for 18 years of his life to get to this point and fought like a true champion when it counted to win the fight when most fighters would of quit in the 4th when he twisted his ankle. this fight was no shut out, it was very close and if you go back in history the younger hungrier fighter always gets the nod over the aging star(Jermain Taylor over Hopkins, Cotto over Mosley, Spinks over Ali, De La Hoya over Whitaker, just to name a few), they pass the torch and they always can come back and redeem themselves. the passing of the torch actually helps progress the sport in the long run, even tho all these stans can't believe the outcome this will help the sport in the long run
Dude I dont care what he said post fight. I am talking about while watching I say he got staggered twice at the most. If he got hurt more than that he didnt show it and we all know that can happen as well. Some fighters are good at hiding when they are hurt at times. Then there are other times when its to much to hide and we see it. I saw it only once or twice him actually being "hurt" Got Em!!
Again yall reading to much into what I am sayin. I am simply sayin just because a Mayweather says Pac won doesnt mean its tru. Thats all. Got Em!!
Again u didnt get what I meant. In other words just because Bradley thinks Mayweather wont beat Manny means he wont? Has Bradley even fought Mayweather to atleast compare the two legitimately? Atleast Mosley who has fought both of them said he didnt know who would win but would give the edge to Floyd in an interview after he fought Pac. I can respect it if the person atleast fought both fighters. I bet if Bradley fought Money, he would be speaking a different toon after getting off the canvas haha. Got Em!!

"Turn the audio down".
Do you think the whole world saw the HBO feed?
I'm pretty sure the only countries listening to Lampley talk were in the US and Canada.
What about the people at the fight? Were there subliminal Manny messages every where?
What about all the commentators on all the other stations around the globe? Were they paid off and biased to?
Typical American mentality. There are more people outside of this country and yes they have televisions.
