I'm a bit worried pacman will have a fall, concentrating on too many things other than boxing.

Joke of a decision. I watched it this morning and no way Bradley won 7 rounds. Pac should have ended the fight in the 4th or 5th mind, he had Bradley then. Rematch aside, I don’t think Pac has too long left and now couldn’t give Mayweather a fight. Looked pretty ordinary in the past few fights.

nah I love him and it could have gone either way. You're right he could have ended it, but ran out of puff. looked like he decided to rest a couple of rounds but could never accelerate again.

Bradley was at the top of his game, and manny didn't do his ability justice. Hopefully he has a proper crack in future. Watching the 24/7 leadup you could see pacquiao wasn't putting it in, the trainers were fighting amongst themselves, even that fat filipino shouting at him in the corner whoever the hell he was, shut up and let roach talk you idiot

Manny refusing to come out until the heat celtics game was over was both amusing and symptomatic

Totally agree with the symptomatic aspect but it was also totally disrespectful to his opponent

Manny probably deserved to win but there were a lot of close rounds and this time they went against him - Marquez would be spewing as he has a reasonable argument for being 3-0 against Pacman and certainly "beat" him much more comprehensively than Bradley

Personally never thought he could beat Mayweather (no disgrace in that, mind you) and his last few fights have confirmed it for me

Khan has his arse handed to him properly this time, then.

The kid is a bit chinny, there's no denying it. & talk of him facing Mayweather is lolworthy. Hatton in his prime would've monstered Khan and we all know how that ended when he fought Floyd.

Meanwhile, in the unofficial British heavyweight **** title bout Haye KOs Chisora in 5 and predictably offers out the elder Klitschko.

Khan is just stupid in the ring - he kept on fighting at close quarters, putting his chin out there and the guy nailed him

Complete opposite of what he should have been doing and not the first time

Not widely reported because he isn't full of ****, but Daniel Geale unified two middleweight titles last week by securing a points decision over Stern in Germany, no less. No easy feat to get a points decision over there, and it's the second time he's done it. Fine fighter.

Comeback for Hatton

From the BBC.

Yo-yo dieting former cokehead who's 34 in October reapplies for his licence.

Won't end well, surely?

On talksport this morning Ronnie Irani reckoned it might be Amir Khan!

..... and he also expressed the view that Freddie looked in the best nick he'd ever seen him in this week - should be in the T20 WC in that case, Freddie that is, not Khan or Hatton

Well that is a match up worth watching, a guy who is washed up against a loudmouth who has failed in his recent fights.

No way in the wide world will Hatton be fighting Khan first up
