You do factor this in when you are making an assessment of his skill-set right?
He's a combo puncher, tremendous heart and chin.
When he exchanges he's stationary with his chin up. That's how Provodnikov and Pacquiao were able to rock him on several occassions.
He hasn't faired well against good boxers, he's struggled.
I don't give a s.hit if he keeps winning, but to say stuff like he's a great contender for a Mayweather fight is not realistic.
He's got a huge bulls-eye stationary head and would be eating pot-shots the entire fight.
Just ask Pac, he landed the straight left AT WILL.
And don't even bring up slow as molasses PEDerson, that guy is a slow as molasses (hit and miss) pressure guy.
Upper body, mostly... It was said here before...
He slips punches pretty well. The rest of this tremendous head movement he displays is beyond me.
But I'll agree to disagree with most cats about this. Won't be the 1st time or the last time. And come April 12th...we shall see if this "head movement" exists...
I can't wait bro,this should be good..:boxing:Pac is looking angry as well..
pac is not angry, it is just for publicity. pac with his new found religion somehow becomes less of an "animal" inside the ring.
this is going to be a good one, and i wish bradley brings the pac of old back. :D
no doubt i gave bradley the 11th and the 12th, those are clear rounds for him as i saw manny doing nothing at all on those rounds... but still i scored it 7-5 for pac. and that was being generous to bradley already by giving him the first 2 rounds. i can't remember if i also gave him the 9th, too lazy to rewatch again.. i'll just wait for the next fight.

yeah bradley missed a lot himself, too much to win, but it was a closer fight that a of people make it out to be just because they were pissed with the judges so bradley's performance gets overlooked.
Bradley has very good head movement.
Pacquaio beat him but that fight, I seen Bradley slipping, rolling with a lot of shots. In fact Pac missed a hell of a lot in that fight but because of the crowd and the commentary it conned people into believing that Pac was landing at will.
Here @ 2.35
The Provodnikov fight is overused I think there was only 2-3 rounds Provo even really landed in
yeah this. sure pac got shafted in the decision but when I watched the fight I was surprised at how much he missed bradley. bradley dont get any credit for how good he actually performed against pac, he made him miss alot.
You only responded to one part of the post,it don't matter..Bradley and Pac will be doing battle again and I'm pumped for it..Bradley won the first fight officially..I felt he won the fight imo,I hope for a good fight on the 12th,no matter who wins..I can't wait..
Oh and Bradley did more then get out of harm way..He exchange with Pac and as hard as it is for you to believe,he landed on Pac as well..Boxing is scored rd by rd,imo Bradley beat him in rds..I have no problem with anyone who scored the fight for Pac,it was a close fight..Rd for rd tho,I thought Bradley edge him in the Championship rds,where it counted most..

bradley's jab kept distance from pac but it wasn't landing like you want to believe.. :lol1: Just because you were able to get out of harm, you win the round. aggression is one thing that was being scored on a boxing match. old saying in boxing is that you have to bring it to the champ inorder for you to win it. going out in harm's way is not gonna win it on some pure boxing fans.

I believe Bradley's punches were effective..I believe Bradley controlled Pac for majority of the rd,and Pac landing 1 or 2 solid blows(which did not happen every rd)does not win him or make his punches more effective..I think your missing out on what the word effective actually means..Bradley jab kept distance from Pac and made it difficult for him to overwhelm Bradley..Bradley body work slowed Pac down..Yes I do believe Bradley landed more or just as much meaningful and effective punches as Pac..So like I said already,I don't agree with you and it's cool..Respect..

lol damn, another display of rome by ko's retarded arguments in this thread:lol1:
admire his dedication though, he never tires...he's really something special. bradley's fortunate to have a fan like that:D
I don't think so because doesn't against Rios doesn't really prove that, to me.
i agree rios really did nothing but take punches in that fight. not really an indication of much. rios just never belonged at that level to being with.
I think what we can take away is that he's still sharp and ring IQ hasn't diminished. That's the first thing you see in a guy who has been wrecked by a ko. Pac wasn't ruined by Marquez and that's about all we can take away from the Rios fight.

I think really it depends where he's at after the KO loss. I can't take anything from the Rios fight other than his chin isn't completely cracked.
I'm still leaning on Pacquaio though.

Well I'd put money on Pacquaio. I don't see him looking devastating or anything though. I think the stuff about him losing his fire is definitely true.
I just don't think Bradley is good enough to even beat a diminished Pacquaio. He wasn't the first time and I haven't seen anything he's done since that can change that.

Yeah could see that to be honest.
You picking Pacquaio then I assume? :lol1:

Neither do I really. Wishful thinking. I just want a definitive conclusion so we don't have to listen to delusional Bradley fans and wannabe hipsters inventing things to suggest Bradley won.
I think that even if Bradley does legitimately deserve the decision this time, he won't be getting it.

I think Pacquaio's body attack was better myself. His straight left to the body was a good shot throughout the fight.
Don't see anyone getting knocked out though in the rematch.
