    I agree. I just find it hard to imagine how Bradley could win rounds. He doesnt have serious power and Oscar in his prime had no problem taking it from the likes of Chavez, Quartey and Trinidad. So I don't think Bradley would be able to hurt him. And Oscar could box or fight as he showed against Vargas. He was versatile.

    From what iv'e seen of Bradley his biggest strength is his workrate but your workrate doesnt mean anything if you can't get to the guy. I just think Oscar would keep him away with his long jab and work off it with power shots.

    Oscar by TKO or wide UD.

      Bradley either outworks Hoya, or Hoya stops Bradley. And no one has yet stopped Bradley yet, Bradley took a monster shot by Holt in the first round of their fight and this guy gets up and whoops the **** out of Holt.

          Bradley hasnt shown anything that he can hang on against elite fighters like prime dela hoya. im not even sure if he can reach the elite status. the answer is dela hoya by a K.O. or a shut out.

            Pretty stunned by this prediction, couldn't possible disagree with it more.

            Its funny this place. Guys that battle past Junior Witter are beating De la Hoya now.

            Unbelievable.

              That's cool. I'm just of the belief that De La Hoya was highly overrated, especially at 140 and up.

                No worries. I respect your opinion a lot, but I can't go with it here. I've seen nothing from Bradley that would let me believe he could hang with De la Hoya.

                      How the hell does this 5-6, volume punching Bradley do anything remotley close to troubling Oscar?

                      Oscar beats his ass half to death. Complete mismatch.


                      140 Oscar was faster, Bigger, stronger, more skilled, better jab, more power, better chin. I mean I can go on.
