I have seen the replay of the supposed hurtful punch that Bradley landed on Marquez that made Marquez "backstroke backwards".....
This was a balance disruption more than being rattled.
Just my opinion!!
I'm not a Bradley hater but l just don't feel like he zapped Marquez with that punch.
I don't believe their is much probability of Bradley hurting Pacquiao,..unless he hits Paquiao with a "perfect" punch as Pac rushes in(like the Marquez disaster). But the probability of that is pretty low.
I believe Pacquiao will be very aggressive in this fight but will do so responsibly.
Bradley does not have a big gun to checkmate Pacquiao. He has activity, great endurance, good recuperative powers, a good left jab, above average handspeed(not as fast as Pac), and pretty perceptive and tricky footwork.
bradley actually hurt marquez a couple of times, that's why he waited all night until the final round when he was forced to take the lead coz he knows they're losing on the scorecards

The only way I see Bradley hurting or stopping Pacs offense is to dig to the body which he did I the first fight but still wasn't enough and was a clear victory for Pac.
Other than Pac being to aggressive and being wide open for a counter I can't see how Bradley can win a decisive decision, he couldn't outbox Pac the first time and I don't see it happening this time.
But time and time again you can never really count Bradley out.
Pacquiao said Bradley never hurt him at all in the first fight and he barely noticed Bradley's punches. So at age 30 it's pretty unlikely Bradley will suddenly gain a real knock out punch. I think the people saying Bradley will KO Manny are not being realistic. Bradley has scored only one KO in his last 13 fights. That gives him a KO percentage of just over 7% or about the same as Paulie. The only guy Bradley could KO was washed up old career 130 pounder Casamayor.
I don't even really look to that final round wobble as evidence for anything, nobody was badly damaged in the fight
but I think Tim was catching with Marquez with some quick right hands that he was unprepared for. Hurt? Not really, but some seemed to get his attention.
If you watch Tim's media workout posted the other day I think you will see the type of right hand I'm talking about. I think he is improving it a lot
edit: as it relates to Pac, I think it's a shot they need to be especially careful of - if he falls into a readable pattern i think we could see it land like Cunninghams little right hand was landing on mansour
Yet that same Juan floored Manny 2 times in the 4th fight
because Manny opened the window for JMM that he kept searching for all night against Bradley.
Tim Bradley looked good against an old washed up JMM with diminished boxing skills, decreased activity rate, and no head movement. Perfect for Bradley. The only way JMM can really win fights now a days is by landing one shot. We saw it in the 4th fight with Pacquiao where he looked like **** up until he landed that one shot. JMM has never really had great balance as a fighter. He's been buckled and dropped so many times in his career but he still has an excellent ability to recover from damage quickly. JMM tried to land that one shot on Bradley but Timmy decided to box and if Manny did that to JMM in their 4th fight he would have won easily. I take nothing away from Tim Bradley. He looked great in his last fight. now lets fast forward. Pacquiao has a much higher activity rate than anyone Bradley has ever faced and he has head movement as well so its gonna be harder for Bradley to make Manny pay when he misses. Pacquiao has the footwork and all the tools needed to beat Bradley. Manny is more athletic then JMM. All Manny has to do is fight 3 minutes of every rd and he will be victorious whether by decision or by stoppage. Bradley is a great fighter, but his most recent win over JMM was fools gold.Yet that same Juan floored Manny 2 times in the 4th fight

Last ten seconds of the fight? Lol. Yeah Marquez was so "hurt." "The poor guy" *rolls eyes*
If that's what you consider hurting a fighter (not you TS) that is sad.
