    Bradley would lose to Pac but I think he would cause him problems.

    I have been thinking about this fight actually for over a year now and for a long time I thought Bradley had the style to beat Pac, but I think I've changed my mind. Pac being so aggressive in the ring might catch Tim and that would probably lead to a domino effect in the match(kind of how he caught Cotto and changed the whole fight) but that's not to say Tim would have no chance.

    One thing we can notice is Tim can box. Even though this isn't the key to beating Pac it is one very important key to winning rounds against the lil devil. Miguel when he boxed he won the first round against Pac, Marquez when he boxed he won lots of rounds against Pac, and the same goes with EM and MAB. The one thing that Tim really would need to hone in on is using the jab and working the counter when going back, if he polished up on that he would have an effective formula at least on that front.

    Another thing I have noticed and I truly think he would do is hurt Manny. Bradley may not have kayo power or many kayos on his record but don't be fooled the man has a solid punch. He always wobbles his opponent and in recent matches he has floored almost every guy he faces. He is a good puncher, far from great but due to good speed it catches a lot of guys from surprise and if Manny were to fly in(like he does a lot), Bradleys speed could get to him and really buzz the guy, which in return may make Manny think twice on how aggressive he can truly be in there.

    All in all, I think Manny wins the fight but I think it is a really good fight and a fight that would be worth the money.

    he better not trade those inside punches with pac... they are pac's booby traps. he's made counterpunching a dangerous game, sacrificing his head for a clean shot to his opponent. look what happened to cotto...

      Trading with Pac would be a major mistake but what happened to Miguel is partly because Miguel is not a quick puncher. If they trade, I'd say both fighters are about equal in speed and Tim could beat Manny to the punch but even if he does I don't think he is that powerful to deter Manny from returning, but Manny is powerful enough to end Tim. Tim would need to stick to boxing and being smart in there, calculating when to throw. If he fights his best he could give Manny a great fight but there is a lot of ifs in there. Although, it isn't supposed to be easy though when you're in there with one of the worlds best.

        I agree with Bradley's power being overlooked, his overhand right is lethal and his left hook is solid. I was very impressed with his upper body movement too. Man, when he dominated Lamont Peterson the way he did (I picked Peterson to win also) I saw how talented he was; I became a believer. The only thing Bradley needs to fix is...he has a bad habit of getting too over anxious. He goes all crazy, gets reckless, and I could envision Mayweather or Pacquiao clippin' him with a HUGE shot during those situations. His trainer is very quick to point that out, so Bradley needs to keep that in check.


        I would love to see Pacquiao vs. Bradley at 147. He looked solid at the weight; didn't seem to lose none of his speed and overall quickness. It's a style matchup that doesn't favor Pacquiao and we rarely get to see that. Of course I would lean towards Pacquiao to win but I do see the competitiveness in this bout, more so then Pacquiao vs. Cotto and Margarito.

          pac has the tendency to make his opponents go on an all-out-war against him. i don't know how but pac does this all the time.

          good for clottey he did not made it last that long.

            Nah, He wouldnt cause Pac any problems at all.. He would be game but Pac would be too good for him in the end, One thing is sure though Bradley would do better NOW than Margarito or Cotto would if they fight Pac next.

              When I saw the computer stats of Bradley on total punch thrown, I would say that Manny will outpunch him in speed and power.

              Bradley should clear up the jr welterweight division, then fight some welterweight boxers before challenging Pacman.

                Look, Bradley is a really good fighter, and in the future will probably rule either 140 or 147. But he would not beat Pacquiao. Pacquiao is on an entirely different level. He may have his moments, but Pac would beat him up rather easily.
