I don't hear anyone calling it a legendary matchup but it's a pretty good one with a good story and most important, will affect the landscape of the sport regardless of the outcome.
An impressive Pacquiao victory at this stage in his career will silence any doubters. It'll also be a hell of a win on his dossier. He'll be Lazarus. A big Bradley win also could change the sport's landscape. He'll be the man creeping up on Mayweather's spot and it'll signal the end of Pacquiao's career.
This is a highly intriguing matchup with lots of implications so I'm not sure what's to complain about. A legendary matchup? No, it isn't but it's outcome might make for a great story on HBO's Legendary Nights.
He picked Pacquaio to beat Oscar.
He doesn't get them all wrong. He get's a few right.
Teddy's obviously a knowledgeable guy it's crazy the amount of the picks he get's wrong considering.
He did?? I'm impressed by that pick. I didn't see that Oscar loss coming at all.
Just think about it tho guys, if Bradley wasn't proclaiming crap like "8-4, 8-4, Yes i really won!" It wouldn't be as big as it is otherwise we would have to already know Pac is gonna win.
Bradley has fooled his fans and the media into thinking he's even gonna give Pac 4 hard rounds!!! :boxing:
So everyone's that gullibe, eh ;)?
Are they gonna publicly post his results? If not, then I'm not interested.

They always post them on their website.
Yeah they both look to be in top form.
I was really impressed with Bradley's foot work and combos. Diaz is a very good trainer IMO
Yeah he is, man. Those combinations were pretty serious. It's like they have something for every Pacquiao move. I was very impressed. What was also interesting was Diaz's comment that Bradley is now sitting down on his punches and that before he might throw ten punches in succession but now throws five but harder. They want to wear Pacquiao down but can they withstand the firepower that will be coming back their way?
you replied to my post which made no sense. now you claim to have replied to me as in citing another post which you didn't do. wow.
I really don't want to have to spell everything out for you. It's embarrassing. I think you should just read over the conversation instead of trying to "win" it. If you can't find the other post where I refer to an example of how Bradley can score a KO than I can't help you.
i've never seen a ko like the one manny was a part of the 20 years i've watched boxing. a guy with a granite chin taking the hardest shots from cotto, margarito, de la hoya without a flinch. hmmm.
and now pacquiao has a chance to get ko'ed by the likes of bradley who has last since ko'ed who, nasser athumani?
Not all KO's are of the one-punch variety.
I think it's possible. I watched Bradley's media workout earlier, he looks great.
Clearly looks stronger too
I was impressed with both workouts. Manny is hitting with some serious power, you can tell. He wasn't quite putting his all into those punches either. If he cracks Bradley with a clean signature blow...good night. On the other hand, I watched Bradley's workout and those combos he's throwing plus that footwork is the perfect strategy for Manny. You can tell he's had a great camp and will be carrying a good gameplan.
The last time Pacquiao talked about being aggressive, he fought much more tactically. That was the 4th Marquez fight. It was only when he got overeager for a knockout the he fell into old habits which Marquez used to KO him. We may see a more aggressive Pacquiao this time, but I think Pacquiao will also use more ring intelligence this time. He may even finally learn to cut off the ring. He appears to be working on that in training camp.
I'm not sure I agree. I don't know when he fell into old habits because the habits have never left so I wouldn't call them old. He is who he is. And lest we forget, he got put on his back by a clean, overhand right midway through the third. He ate a pretty big right in the fifth as well. And of course, the KO.
These are mistakes Pacquiao has made throughout his career. He's been great enough to overcome them most of the time. But they've always existed and they will exist again on April 12th.
looks like you're making a point if you think something weird is going on in tim's camp.
Nah. I already cited an example of what I was referring to. No need to speculate.
Probably not. And if he does he won't get credit for it because people will believe that Manny's punch resistance is shot. They'd probably be right too.
Agree but I do believe a KO or stoppage in Bradley's favor is possible for this fight.
you cited my first sentence which implies a rare ko, then the rest of my post negates anything else you said. fu/k off.
No, I cited an example in another post that wasn't directed to you. No need to get emotional.
Although it truly is highly unlikely that Bradley KO's Pac, I think some of you are looking at it wrong. If Pacquiao is aggressive and Bradley is up to the task, you may see a tired, aging Pacquiao seeking rest against an opponent starved for redemption. Sounds like a fairy tale but in this matchup I sense the strong possibility for an epic ending either way.
you know how these tards do. anything they can do not to place blame on Pac.
First they were against OST
Then they are for 4 years later
THen they are for Vada and USADA is corrupt
THen FLoyd is scared of VADA
FLoyd wont test year around
Now its FLoyd is juicing
they are an amazingly dense sad group of stans. Its really sad.
Most of them are closet Floyd fans. Go to any Floyd thread and they're there.
ohh look not only is imdazed a steroid expert, a steroid crusade expert, catch weight expert, he can also read people's emotions through a computer screen.
:lol1:
Very sensitive.
i guess you missed the second sentence of my first post.
I didn't. It just showed me that you really didn't read my other post. But why are we having this conversation? I said I cited an example of how Bradley could stop Pacquiao in a post that wasn't directed to you. You say I didn't. Cool.
Don't say I didn't tell you so but Bradley is on that schit now. I heard he sent three guys packing because of his power in camp. Pac and Roach bit off more than they can chew by trying to sidestep the testing....Bradley took the juice this time and will be in monster mode for this fight.
I find that very hard to believe.
