Manny pac probably aint as good as he was 2/3 years ago, but hes still a god fighter. bradley lost by 9 rounds on my score card, 2 rounds in a reality kncok down score card against ruslan and draw on my score card against a 40 year old marquez. Marquez out landed bradley with many more power shots.
I also think he key to factor in that bradley has taken severe punishment. Worse than Manny pacquio imo. EVEN his easy fights go the distance, and i think it would have done his health better if he got kncoked out quicker against ruslan.
Its a easy prediction for me, but i think Manny pacquio stops Bradley. Marquez was struggling against manny pac despite the brutal ko. Bradley really struggled against Marquez whos shop worm imo.

bradley clearly beat marquez, it wasnt close at all, competitive but not close.
marquez is competitive with anyone not named mayweather though, he is a truly great fighter. for bradley to simply beat him is impressive, to do it the way he did was extremely impressive.
he beat ruslan as well, that was a close fight though. it could have went either way and it wasnt a good showing for bradley his show of heart and chin aside. but he followed it up with one of the best performances of the year from any fighter with the W over marquez, he is going into this fight on a high note.
much higher than pac, two fight ago he was knocked clean out and he hasnt had a real fight since. rios is tailor made for pac stylistically in addition to simply being a class or two beneath him in class. bradley isnt two steps beneath anyone in class imo and he is so well rounded his style isnt easy pickings for anyone. he has improved a lot as a fighter since their first fight too, i give him a very good chance. im still favoring pacquiao but im not counting bradley out, only a fool would count out a fighter like bradley.
yeah i don't see how ppl think he's going to beat pac, (unless pac has truly gotten old),
he barely got by rulsan, and jmm slow ass had more power punches than he did.
pac shud outwork him to a UD (don't see anybody getting stopped)
by punching, alot and moving/jumping around alot
he can do it simultaneously as he only throws arm punches, makes it hard for anyone to fight him properly, doesn't help that he's made of steel also
the way i see the fight with bradley against ruslan and marquez were very similar, the rounds were pretty close at times and if u guys remember in the 12th round, bradley dropped marquez or almost dropped him and i think that sealed the victory for bradley but in the ruslan fight, bradley got put down in the 12th and still manage to come out on top. that was a clear gift decision right there.
Bradley did not get a gift in the Ruslan fight. You have to look at every round. Bradley was clearly the fighter who sustained the most damage in the fight, but Bradley won more rounds in the fight.
He clearly lost all 3 in my eyes
Pacquiao he lost 11-1 and Pac put him in a freaking wheelchair. Never seen that before in boxing
Ruslan beat the sh*t outta him worse than Maidana did Broner. Bradley was slurring his speech for 2 months and pissing blood. If the rounds are close than you ask yourself, who would you of rather been in that fight?
MarquThis ain't the armatures when ez destroyed him with power punches. jabs count equal to a power punch. And this is coming for a guy who things JMM is a piss drinking, PED taking, crybaby
Coming from you, it's no surprise cause you are one of the most biased poster in here when it comes to Pac. If Pac had won, you would not be hating on Bradley. By the way, even in professional boxing, jabs count a lot as not all boxers are heavy punchers. That's why Malignani and his fellow "soft" punchers still have a place in this sport. You know what, if we go by your own logic, boxers that are power punchers should always wins the fights. Unfortunately for you, that's not always the case.

I was a bit surprise after they announce who was the winner between Tim and Ruslan. I thought Ruslan gave him a beating, multiple times Tim was wobbled and hurt by those solid punches. But somehow he manage to stay on his feet. His shoe shinning and pity pat punches was the key to his victory, and he didn't run after each time he got hurt which I think convinced the judges to give him the nod. True warrior spirit right there.
He lost to pacquiao and Ruslan but beat Marquez fairly.
I think this is a fair statement. The problem is, beating someone decisively. Why they tip the hat in Bradley's favor, I dont know. Bradley did beat Marquez. Pac is going to have to work twice as hard IMO to get a win by decision. It's unfortunate. Some of these judges in boxing are very suspect
Bradley did lose to Pac and if Pat Russell calls the times he sat on the ropes, he loses to Ruslan. Marquez fight was close but clear enough. Its true Bradley hasnt had a definitive win in awhile, but I dont think that makes him a huge underdog. He is determined, younger, fresher and makes ugly fights. I think Bradley is a live dog against anyone for these reasons.
I agree with you, somehow Tim find a way to get back to the fight after getting hurt. The guy have the heart of a champion. If he uses dirty tactics come April 12 he have a good chance of upsetting Manny again (this time for real). But Manny have a lot to lose in this fight, so I assume that he will cut the ring off, will throw a lot of punches, and eventually hurt Bradley. Close fight and will go either way if there is no KO or TKO.
He lost some rounds and got hurt badley by Provo but he still did enough to win, wouldnt call that a robbery, and he beat JMM EASY!!! If you think that fight was even close then you gotta be under the influence of drugs...But Pac whooped his ass!! Thats the robbery
He clearly lost all 3 in my eyes

good post.
IMO Bradley is the least deserving of anyone I can think of who deserves to win. The way he disrespects everyones opinion and stubbornly says he beat Pac makes him very deserving of a loss against Pac.
He may shock the world and beat Pac, but it wont be deserved.
