In other news, just got word Denver's own @MileHighMike303 has agreed to fight Manny Pacquaio in October!!!!!!
I remember reading a big article about Macau in a Maxim mag like 10 years ago. Sounds like it's insane out there with the big ballers & extravagant everything.

Damn, when they gonna leave my nikka alone 
while you make excellent points from your perspective, I can make a case the other way. as a person living with diabetes and controlling with diet and exercise...not medication...I think Roger not training Floyd could be the opposite. yes, he is slowing down but thats not because of the disease, thats because he is getting old. Roger needs to stay active and training Floyd helps him do this. I hope its not a permanent decision and hopefully we can see both Sr and Roger in the camp and corner together. Of course I have nothing but love for Jr bringing Sr into his camp. its a win strategically and mentally.
no matter how hard or soft you hit, the punch your opponent walks into or doesnt see....its the one that turns out his lights. its happened before. first fight that comes to mind is when Ottke KOed Mudine. the punch that Manny got hit with was way more brutal than that.
Alvarado is a good fight for him. Its a tough fight that he would be expected to win. Rios is a punching bag. Manny would give him more punishment than what its worth for a punchers chance. I dont agree with Skip that Alvarado is better than Rios, its just that Rios neglects defense so much and rarely uses some of the boxing ability that he does have. They are evenly matched in my book as far as skills, its just that one guy is a dumb fighter (the kind most fans like) and the other is a little smarter.
no and no.
Ortiz...good puncher, but not nearly as powerful at 147 against solid opposition as he was when he was blowing through bums at 140.
To say ANYONE easily KO's Bradley is absurd. Bradley is SUPREMELY conditioned. Not sure anyone besides FMJ or BHop is as conditioned as Bradley. His ability to take a shot is because of his tremendous fighting shape, not his beard so much. The moment Bradley slacks up on training, he's getting knocked out, but dont expect it to happen til that time.
Prov has something Ortiz doesnt, its called intestinal fortitude. It doesnt take much to get in his head, just show him that you came to fight and wont lay down...(which is pretty much Bradley's M.O.) and its a wrap for him. He's a younger version of the Tyson that fought McBride.
What Bradley has and Ortiz lacks in substance is pretty much the difference between a good fighter and a mediocre one.
Well he did knock him down quite a few times.
My problem with Bradley is that he's too damn fast to be so defensively inept
2 fights come to mind to me where the champions were heavy favorites and I had a gut feeling they would lose by abandoning their boxing skills and underestimating their opponents.
one was Forrest (RIP) vs Mayorga
the other was Berto vs Ortiz.
Berto shouldve never lost that fight. A couple of those KDs where where Berto got careless and walked into shots or was caught off balance. One of them was an accumulation of punches. He was never in any more danger of being put away by Ortiz than Ortiz was of him. Berto in the middle of the ring was clearly outboxing him with his hand and foot speed. In close quarters, Ortiz was able to do work. Skill wise they are pretty evenly matched. the problem is, Berto thought he was gonna blow through Ortiz but Ortiz' career was on the line so he came to fight that night.
Other than that, Ortiz is a later version of Popo Freitas. He quit against Maidana, he quit against Floyd (yes, he quit), and he quit against Lopez.
Well he did knock him down quite a few times.
My problem with Bradley is that he's too damn fast to be so defensively inept
What the hell are you talking about? Bradley had pac man throwing combo's and missing the entirety of them, multiple times. That's how he hurt his ankle
I'm talking about Ortiz knocking Berto on his ass.
And did you not see what happen to Bradley three weeks ago? nikka was dazed and confused from round 6 to 12.
