      I mean I can see it go that way also. Manny was clearly a step above him no matter how hard he fought

      I just can't see Bradley giving up or taking the foot off the pedal regardless of how ineffective his aggression might become.

      Let's not forget Bradley had fast feet and attributes to make things interesting untill Floyd figured him out the second half.

      And lastly Bradley unlike Ortiz could fight dirty and had a dangerous melon head

        pretty much

        No one would duck their biggest payday against floyd

        As soon as Floyd was a star, everyone wanted a big payday against him

        Whether they could beat him or not is irrelevant

        Its not like Floyd would beat them up anyway

          Hmmm I was never big on Bradley, for me he was short of that top shelf, take the Manny gift out of his resume and look at JMM as his best opponent and he really didn't do anything, I honestly think Floyd would thoroughly school Tim especially being smaller than Floyd, I don't think there is a fighter in history smaller than Floyd that could beat him.

            Pernell

            if each went 2 or 3 times vs Floyd

            At least one W would be obtained

              I used to hate Tim Bradley but in hindsight he was better than I gave him credit for. He has 3 great wins in Pac, Provo, and Marquez. And a couple of really good ones like Alexander.

              I liked his mean streak in boxing. He always kept a good composure, even when getting rocked.

                Maybe, maybe all beat Floyd, none are smaller than Mayweather.

                I feel the atgs throughout history all have a good shot at beating one another on their night at their weight, in racing and many other sports the best are like a blink away from each other, we can see it clearly on a clock, I think those same blinks in time separates the best boxers, only its very hard to see in boxing.

                    Bradley does nothing that would give Floyd problems.

                    He'll have to fight on the inside because if he sits at mid-range like he did with Marquez, he'll never be in the fight to begin with. Floyd has dumb reach for his size (73") and an elite jab, that makes Bradley pointless at mid-range/ outside.

                    The issue with fighting on the inside, if you don't carry real power (e.g. Maidana) you're never going to really trouble Floyd on the inside either. He generally lets guys like that (e.g. Berto) hang around and pick them apart from his comfort zone.

                      I agree with all of this. Floyd would school Timmeh,
