I was watching Bradley/Peterson, and that was such an amazing fight... I kept thinking, why is this guy making Bradley look so good and so entertaining, when guys like Alexander couldn't?
Didn't take long for me to realize its becuz Peterson is coming forward looking to fight... In just about every Bradley fight before and since that I've seen (other than Abregu, a fight where I thought Bradley looked pretty good), his opponents ran away/hugged him to death the whole time (Haven't seen the Holt fight in a while, don't know who the aggressor was, but I know Holt wasn't shy about hugging) which is why Bradley's fights can be pretty boring
Then I remembered how Pacquiao looked like crap when fighting Mosley, and even looked bad (which would have been more noticeable had it not been for his early explosive success) in the latter half of the Cotto fight when Cotto gave up
If Pac, who is one of the most entertaining fighters in the world, can look that bad under the same circumstances, who can look good?
Name a fighter (or two) that looks good fighting scared (or at least hyper and/or overly affectionate) opponents
Lets try to keep it in the top 10 realm... No easy to catch, journeymen
