Bradley would beat him up. I don't know how people came up with the adjective "slick" to describe Paulie...Paulie gets hit.
To me, Bradley has literally every advantage, speed, power, chin, and boxing skills. -

i think people underated bradely power. sure it's not Knockout power...but i think he'll stun/KD someone in a fight. he did that aginist edner cherry and junior witter and went on to win the fight. now if it was vs someone with a very good chin he won't knock them down but he'll probaly stun them. it's not like he's feather fisted.Comment

Let's not get carried away about the advantages.
Paulie's chin is clearly better than Bradley's. It doesn't mattter because neither one of these guys hits hard enough to KO the other.
Boxing Skills - PM
Power - TB (but he does not have enough to KO PM so it doesn't really matter)
Chin - PM
Speed - Pic'Em
I think Paulie actually wins this fight on fair score cards. This fight will never happen though IMO. I read between the lines of the press release yesterday that Bradley signed with manager Cameron Dunkin. Ask yourself a question, why does Bradley need a manager at this stage of his career? I believe it is to assist in getting away from Gary Shaw and Showtime and Cameron can deliver him to Top Rank and HBO. Bigger money, bigger fights. I think Arum's plan is to match Bradley/Peterson for the world title and have both sides of the fight. We'll see.Comment

How does Paulie have better boxing skills? He jabs and occasionally throws a right hand, while Bradley creates angles, uses his jab, and explodes with combinations. Bradley also has faster hand speed. Paulie's shown a good chin, but he shot Holt hit Bradley with looked like it nearly took his head off, and he weathered that pretty easily. Bradley also has a higher workrate and better stamina.Let's not get carried away about the advantages.
