Aside from getting ******* lucky, it's a complete mystery to me so please and thanks.
I honestly don't see Bradley making it past 7
Manny is an extremely fast volume puncher with power that has many holes, average defense, good footwork, and does not adjust well. He has a chin and knockout power and comes with odd angles, but is susceptible to counter-punching, combination punching, and not as effective fighting backwards.
No need to even mention that one is a hungry, undefeated, dedicated fighter trying to feed his family, and the other is an accomplished, busy fighter nearing the end of his career.
My money is on Bradley and I don't have to blink twice to do it.
Ali said it best people, the fight is won far away from the crowd and the lights on fight night. It's won in the gym, and running the trail, way before the fight.Last edited by LoadedWraps; 06-04-2012, 02:34 PM.

[QUOTE=SpeedKillz;12205029]Im not sure how else to answer this. bradley can BOX. manny cannot. manny used to be a monster, but he never had true boxing skills. bradley has real boxing skills, he's more than just a brawler. I dono how many other ways I can answer this. bradley has more boxing skills than pacquiao. what else do you want me to say? this is like my 4th time saying it. manny is a brawler / puncher / slugger (whatever u wanna call it) with good stamina, and bradley can brawl, and he can box, he has skills, he can fight in more than one way.
Im sure the next post will be "but how does he have better skills?"
lets go for a loop, how does manny have better skills?[/QUOTE]
power, hand speed, footwork, combinations, counters, trainer! your trying to turn pacq into hatton!! its very humorous. if pacq actually used a jab like a jab, then you'd say he was a boxer.

Originally posted by LoadedWraps View PostUm, let's see, Bradley is more technically and fundamentally sound, is conditioned to go the distance and/or put in an enormous work rate every round, and brings constant pressure complimented by slick and sound defense and underrated power. He is capable of throwing quick combinations of hooks and uppercuts and dominating inside.

I said that he doesn't have the ability or capabilites to adapt a gameplan similar to what Floyd Mayweather would do.
He just doesn't have that kind of ability.
But you are looking at two extremes here. Realistically, Bradley doesn't need to be anywhere near Floyd in his defensive or adaptive abilities. He just needs to adapt enough to beat Manny, because the abilities to do it are there.
Otherwise to dispute this, you would be saying Manny's defensive and adaptive abilities are a c-hair away from Floyd's. And we both know THAT'S not the truth.

ive bet against pacquiao a number of times and have always been wrong.
always thinking that distractions outside the ring would have an effect.
pac on a bad night beats gentleman bradley.
imo when pac feels no pop in tims punches.
he's going to give bradley a thrashing.
i figure the ref will stop this one.
