I still stand by my prediction: Bradley via close decision. Please make this fight happen!!
Bradley by decision!
Bad match up for Bradley Marquez easily outboxes him and possibly stops him.
JMM would box circles around Bradley.
However, he'd get robbed as he always does against Top Rank's 'guy'.
Bradley 115-113, and I'm not even a Bradley fan lol. This would be a close bout when each guy has their moments, but I see the judges giving it to Bradley.
juan continues the amazing vareer with a beautiful ud over another great fighter
jmm takes bradley apart bit by bit
Marquez out boxes Bradley easily!
Sadley, Marquez sparks Bradley IMO
I think Bradley wins it easily at this point. He's too versatile for Pac and Marquez. He doesn't get a lot of credit because he hasn't been given the opportunity to fight a big named opponent. If he doesn't get Pac in 2012, it will be a mistake on his part for not fighting Khan. That fight would have put him on the map with the mainstream.
To me Tim is an old school throwback fighter. He comes in ripped and in shape, he knows how to box and slug it out. He has very good defense and a great championship IQ and chin. I don't see anyone beating him at 140. At 147, he could possibly be even better, but he gives up a lot of height in that division. But at this stage, I see him out working Mayweather and winning on points. He outboxes Pacquiao, Marquez, Ortiz, and Berto. His biggest rival would be Khan because of the height difference and Mike Jones.
Bradley reminds me a lot of Hagler. I just hope the big named fighters give him a chance to fight them, then the whole world will see how good this kid is. Khan needs to fight Peterson again and beat him first. Bradley has already beaten Lamont and looked good doing it. I think that forces Khan to fight Tim. I don't know if Tim will ever be a mega star of the sport, but I guarantee that he will be a great champion and hall of famer when its over. Do your job Bob Arum!!! Whoever he puts in front of Tim, Tim will beat them.
Bradley doesn't have a good jab though...
JMM will take Bradley to Boxing school
I think Bradley could outpoint JMM to a decision fairly easily. Bradley has the size and boxing IQ to coast to a UD. Marquez is Pacquiao's daddy, but other than that a fighter like Bradley would frustrate him. I think Bradley gives Pac serious problems as well. Hit and don't be hit :boxing:.
footspeed....Bradley wins if he jabs and moves...this coming from a bigger JMM fan....anyone with a good jab and footspeed is hell for JMM at this stage....
Let's be honest, JMM ....is far greater and P4P in his prime he stops Bradley.
This old Marquez......will probably take mercy on Bradley and his fans and will let him escape with a onesided murderous beat down ....no doubt
Marquez knockes him out
he was an old Lightweight last month aswell.

Mixed bag bump
First 4/5 rounds will be competitive, both fighters winning rounds but then Bradleys conditioning takes over & pretty much controls the fight...Marquez will have some success but not enough to win rounds.
I've said this many times besides Pacquiao....the other opponents he's faced over the years...has he looked amazing? Diaz I & II, Casamayor, Katsidis, & Fedchenko...not really, went life & death in a few of those fights.
Marquez has a better chance beating Bradley in a rematch then the first time around imo.
I am surprised to see most people favor Marquez.
Let's be clear, JMM is a great fighter, but he has more than one disadvantage against Bradley in my opinion.
Style. Although he sometimes trades when he should be moving (not as often as in the Provodnikov fight though), Bradley has fast hands and a good jab. He can double or triple it up well while moving laterally. That would force JMM to lead. (Mayweather, for instance, used his jab way more often than his usual in the fight against Marquez, that is no coincidence).
Age. Marquez is 40, you cannot expect any athlete to be physically prime at 40. He cannot outwork Bradley, who, on the other hand, has very good stamina. You do not survive like he did against Provodnikov if you are not in top shape.
Marquez is slick, he sets traps and makes you pay if you fall for his bait, he will surely have his moments, but I don't see Bradley walking into a right hand like Pac. Bradley will respect Marquez, won't go there to knock him out as he did against Provodnikov (or like Pacquiao in his IV fight against JMM).
I agree,good break down bro..

To be totally honest, I have no interest in seing Bradley fight anybody.
He's just.....meh....
Young undefeated fighter two div Champ and a two time unified Champ..Ya your right Meh...LMAO...:rofl:
As far as beating Pac no it doesn't get any better but fighting Bradley for a chance to win a WW title and then retire while making a lot of money could be just enough for JMM to fight once more. With even a final fight in Mexico for his fans vs some bum to defend his title once (assuming he beats Bradley of course).
Whatever,just please get Marquez in the ring with Bradley..That's all I want for Xmas...
Don't want to see this fight or any other fight for Marquez..... He cant go out any better after last night..... After Bradley gets from under Arum he will have plenty of young guns to deal with
