    I am asking honestly, do you watch boxing, or do you just read articles and look at boxrec?

    Timothy Bradley? Heavy handed no defense or speed Timothy Bradley is a good matchup?

    Where are you getting this from??? Show me film on Bradley as to how he could be competitive. Show me an impressive performance that is on par with even Manny's worst performance, in fighting a phenomenal boxer in JMM.

    SHOW ME SOMETHING and stop talking about these "B" list fighters as if they're world class fighters on the same level as Manny Pacquiao.

    I agree 100%, thank you for clearing this up.

    I want to see Pac fight Berto, but any boxing fan can see that this fight will not happen for obvious reasons.

      That is true if either of those guys existed it is hard to see Floyd or Manny even testing the water at 147. Or even anyone of that caliber.

      Over coming size in one thing, over coming size and skill is next to impossible.

        I know what you mean TS, at least SSM is tested and proven. Its not like he took any bad beatings lately, just got out boxed and got a bs draw in a fight he won.

          the only reason people want to see pac fight mosley, berto, alexander, or bradley is because pac hasn't already murdered them. i don't blame them though.

            I beg to differ. You dont need to be to heavy handed to beat pacquiao and since when was Bradley slow? He is fast on his feet and has above average handspeed. He could very well win against Pacquiao by UD.

            Pac recent wins got you guys believing that he needs a guy with power and speed to beat him which isnt necessarily true. His recent wins over come forward fighters got you guys puzzled on finding competition for him. Hell Pac aint hard to hit, a boxer could very well box him by letting of combos first then clinch, rinse and repeat for 12 rounds.


            Or you seen how when Cotto started using his legs Pac didnt seem too comfortable anymore after the brawling in the first 4 rounds. If a boxer adopts the style/gameplan that Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam which utilizes the ring and counter when the opponent gets frustrated could easily win against pac. Prob not by ko as most as you guys want to see but this is boxing whether by ko or decision, winning is winning. Pac aint a pressure fighter, he is an in and out puncher.

              Don't even get me started on Alexander.




              I know right.

                I agree you don't beat someone who thrives on battle by battling it out with them unless you are out and out better in that area.

                The easiest way to beat someone of that nature is to not engage unless you have the advantage and frustrate the other guy making them weaker mentally (instead of physically).

                Usually guys like Manny don't fight that sort of guy unless forced and since no one really seems to care all that much no reason to even try and climb that hill.

                      Since when is Bradley heavy handed? He has 11 ko's in 26 fights. Thats not indicative of heavy hands, is it. Have you ever even seen him fight? If you have, you probably would understand why people are calling for the fight. Bradley is a very good boxer, who is always in phenomenal shape. And if he gets past Alexander, he should be on the threshold of a major fight.
