who has the better chance of pulling the upset?...

bradley could win all 12 rounds and still lose to UD. cotto doesn't really have a shot either. but just like marquez, bradley could possibly beat pacquiao but just not on paper. i don't think it'll happen though, pacquiao won't treat bradley with the respect he gave to marquez and bradley doesn't have enough power to make pacquiao hesitant. we'll see though, things could happen. my guess is bradley but honestly, pacquiao wins a pretty clear decision, if not late tko. cotto gets shut out for the most part, but hopefully floyd tries to stop him. looking forward to both fights.

So you're basing your opinion on the Marquez fight which Bradley fights nothing like. It's fine if you don't want to give somebody credit, but to say that you won't be excited doesn't make it anyless than an upset is ludicrous. You're telling me that #1 P4P guy loses with every advantage under the sun, and it still wouldn't be considered an upset. FOH http://blacksportsonline.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Stephen-A-Smith.jpg You brought up his mythical P4P status like it was relevant to the topic at hand. Pac isn't unbeatable, isn't untouchable, isn't any of that. What advantage does Pac have that cannot be overcome in training? Other than the fact that he's the A-side to the card, and he has the style the judges prefer lmao. You obviously have some in mind, or else you wouldn't have said that. Southpaw? Speed? Unpredictable attack pattern? what??? Pac has shown that he cannot adapt, and when his opponents fight in a certain way, his offense is stifled. Bradley knows this, and he will look to add to his repertoire whatever technique and strategy he can that has proven to give Pac the most issues. Bradley isn't going to walk into the ring, ignorant of all of Pac's stylistic flaws, he will come prepared. I said it's a 50-50 (maybe 55-45 in Pac's favor) fight, which means that whoever wins gets full credit. What ya'll are doing are giving Bradley like 30% chance of winning, and then if Pac has a mediocre performance like in his previous fights (but still manages to win), the same people will be saying "He's done, Floyd's gonna beat his ass if they fight," etc. The casual boxing public will believe that Pac is coming into the ring with all these imaginary "advantages" and that he is going to lay Bradley flat on his back. I'm not visualizing this fight through the same lens that some of ya'll are seeing it from.

I don't think Cotto-Mayweather will be competitive.

Bradley for sure , simply because Pac is not as good as Floyd , and seeing that Pac flat refuses to fight Cotto without a CW , can you imagine Floyd vs Bradley , one way street lol , but Pac is being voted by his huggers to have a harder fight than Floyd fighting the guy Pac ducked at 154 ..

I think Cotto has a better chance...Bradley is game but will be in for the treat of his life.

Dude, you have to stop comparing Clottey to Floyd. Beside of them using the high guard defense, they don't fight alike at all. I said the fight will play out similar Meaning I think Floyd will stay in the middle of the ring with his guard and throw those right hands at will at an available target. There will be swing rounds and close rounds and we may or may not get a controversial or close decision. I think its pretty fair. I don't see how that is any different than some fool saying that Floyd is going to blitz Cotto and KO him in 6

Bradley's overrated ass will pose no threat, either on the scorecards or via KO to Pacquaio. He's being lined up to get KOd effortlessly. He should just go back to beating up 40 year old potheads who were once great Mayweather/Cotto is going to look like Cotto/Clottey while Pacquaio/Bradley is going to look like Pacquiao/Diaz. Dude, you have to stop comparing Clottey to Floyd. Beside of them using the high guard defense, they don't fight alike at all.

I think too many people are putting an emphasis on Pac's last two fights. Mosley ran like Carl Lewis. If Mosley would've stood and fought, he would've been KO'd. Marquez had 24 rounds of experience against Pac heading into the fight. I would hope he does well. Granted, Pac hasn't looked good lately against fighters that stick and move, but I just don't see Bradley being that type of fighter. Normally he fights flat footed and throws combo's while going toe to toe. Something that will get him dropped like he was against Holt if he chooses to do so. When Pacquiao is confronted with a fighter who will not fight him on his terms, we see Pac's flaws come to the surface. Hatton/Diaz/Cotto/Margarito simply came forward and tried to pressure Pacquiao, thinking they were going to out-muscle him. What do they all have in common? They can't match Pac in punch volume or in hand/foot-speed. So what does that mean? They are doing half of the work for Pac by coming straight to him (not giving him angles also), and they are literally walking into his onslaught. Pac did a Mariachi dance on Cotto/Margarito/Diaz, and he laid out Hatton like a rug. Mosley was in full-retreat mode, but the fact that he was backing up and Pacquiao couldn't seem to cut off the ring and trap him was an issue. Team Pac then later blamed his performance on cramps or some car accident if i remember correctly, but besides the point lol. Marquez was able to out-maneuver him and take away his speed advantage as well with his excellent timing. There were multiples instances where Marquez caught Pac off-balance as well. Now, I could be (and probably am) giving Bradley more credit than I should, given that he hasn't fought someone with Pac's speed or experience. However, speed can be negated with a good jab and timing (which Bradley has), and Bradley is faster than Marquez. His countering ability and combination punching may not be on JMM's level, but he can let his hands go if need be and he's decent at properly judging distance. Bradley has been wanting to fight Pac for years now, and there HAS to be something he sees that he can exploit or otherwise he would be hesitant to make the fight happen. Bradley is capable of winning this fight, and when the time comes, i'll be betting on him to win. If he loses, then Pac can finally say that he has beaten an undefeated prime fighter who was capable of beating him, and he gets all the respect that comes with that. However, when you have most of the guys on here saying Pac is going to ice Bradley, then Pac is already being set up for failure. Marquez was underestimated, and now it is Bradley's time to be underestimated. I think Bradley's team will be smart enough to incorporate what worked for JMM in his fight with Pac, into their own gameplan. Oh great, another wall of text lmao

The word "Upset" would lead me to believe that Bradley has very little chance in winning, and that he's out-matched. I think it's a very even fight, and I personally think Bradley would beat Pac (he probably wouldn't get the decision, but I think most fans would have him winning on their score-cards). I'm not gonna be screaming, HOLY ****! BRADLEY BEAT PACQUIAO like some of the guys on here would be. The guys who are saying Pac is going to beat the **** outta Bradley, and that Pac is gonna KO him, are gonna be the ones who are bound to be shocked. Did anybody learn anything from the Marquez fight not to make ludicrous assumptions? Bradley is a very competent fighter. Pac is declining in more ways than one. Bradley is very much in his prime, still has some room to develop his craft, and has a strong skill-set already. On the other hand, Pac has become stagnant and Roach doesn't seem to be doing **** about it. Somebody in another thread said he's a jack of all trades, which I think is a term that suits him very well. Bradley seems to be solid in every facet of boxing, but he can also make gradual adjustments, and he can switch into different gears through-out a fight. This suggests that he has a high in-ring IQ. He has good foot-work, above average foot and hand-speed, has an inside-game, and is very-well conditioned. Bradley also does not get discouraged. Also, he has a slight height and reach advantage on Pac as well, which will make it a little easier for him to stick his jab and move. ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT, there's already an established blue-print on how to defeat Pac. Cotto beating Mayweather is a legitimate upset because Cotto doesn't have all the necessary tools needed to beat Floyd, on top of the fact that Floyd is undefeated. It's going to take a lot of Cotto to defeat Floyd, and he's going to have to hope that Floyd is starting to slip a little as well. It's going to take some luck for Cotto to win.

not surprised with the poll result....bradley's style would defintely make pac look vulnerable again ...i think cotto would have his moments with floyd but lets just face it, bradley is the fresher fighter...

Bradley....but I still expect Pacquiao to stop him

I give Cotto as much of a chance in beating Floyd as I gave Oscar. Which was none.

Why isn't it? please explain. The word "Upset" would lead me to believe that Bradley has very little chance in winning, and that he's out-matched.

sharp quick accurate punches+a face with alot of scar tissue=possible stoppage He's not a volume puncher, based on that i have to disagree. Cotto can take hard shots, its when their is 500 of them in a min span that he gets in trouble. Will he have swelling? Sure. Nothing he hasnt experienced before tho, he has fought through it every time. Cotto poses more a threat to mayweather than bradley does to pac imo (assuming cotto brings a good gameplan)

Bradley because you cannot beat Floyd

I think big strong punchers with 1 punch KO power pose a bigger threat to Manny. Bradley is just not strong enough at 147. Heck, he's only had 1 fight there. Don't get me wrong, anything is possible, but Bradley hasn't shown me anything at 147 that makes me think he can beat manny. so power, thats it...lol.thats the tool?.....floyd aint much of a puncher himself, so according to that logic, you dont see floyd winning vs pac aswell huh?...

Bradley does

lol. There are a shit ton more Bradley believers than I thought there would be. If I didn't think Cotto would get completely out classed, I'd have said him cause Bradley ain't shit. So, Bradley it is.

The Cotto-Mayweather fight will be more competitive. Bradley doesn't have the tools to beat pac, especially if there's no OST. Bradley's strength of combination punching will completely work in Pac's favor (Cotto/Hatton). bradley does have the tools?...what are the tools you speak of you need to have to beat pacquaio?...coz i see a lot of people claim face first bralwalers or fighters with very leaky defense that pac feasts on....bradley is neither...
