    Bradley did well in this fight, and also proved he would be quite a handfull for Pac, you just missed all the intangibles:

    - He took away Alexander's jab. (Something which I've never seen anyone accomplish)

    - He showed that he was much stronger than expected. (Those body shots were massively effecting Alexander, something which is of disdain to Pac)

    - He was aggressive but kept enough distance to avoid Alexander's straight left and uppercut

    - His inside work was great at times but mostly spoiled by Alexander's hugging, which contributed to making the fight boring

    - Bradley's right was landing all night

    Up against Pac, all these attributes will come into play minus the hugging, which would be of an advantage to Bradley.

    Also, Bradley weighed in last night at 164. At 147 he's most likely going to go up to 170.
    I'm almost certain Bradley didn't weigh 164lb... it was less than 150

      well, here's hoping Pac would face Bradley sometime soon then. it would be interesting how your analysis of Bradleys skills would play out if they would ever fight.

        IMO, even Shane at this point in his career beats Bradley. Pac v Shane would definitely be a better fight in terms of spectacle and thrill compared to this disappointment.

          with the style of BOTH fighters going forward and not backing down, most likely you are right.

            Fight night weights for both fighters were around 163.9 or something.

              Uhh, what fight were you watching ?

              There's only one thing I agree with you on, Devon clutching on for dear life did make it a boring fight,but, Bradley contributed to the boredom as well.

              I think Bradley's upper body movement will be PAC's biggest crux. But, man, seeing how much Bradley was getting squared up last night, PAC's gonna find a home for that deadly left straight of his.

              And no, PAC is gonna manhandle Bradley on the inside(if it even gets there), are you f**kin' kiddin' me. PAC has gone toe-to-toe with much stronger and better inside fighters than that feather-fisted qu**r we saw last night.

                Pacquiao would knock him spark out within 3 rounds

                  Since when has Pac knocked out opponents that haven't been knocked out before?

                      Since when has Timothy Bradley faced a puncher the calibre of Pacquaio?

                      Yeah.
