Now that I've seen Bradley against a southpaw with speed...

No,

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.

why would any1 even wanna fight braldey with this headbutting issue???? i would get so pissed if i was a fighter and he kept on butting me. what if the fight gets stopped because the cut is too big??? i aint trying 2 lose like that man. thats bull****.

I kind of understand that in a lot of ways. But does that mean that me as a fan, I want to see a non punching (as JReck put it) twitching 40 year old heavy bag with a non existant jab and no boxing IQ (which is what Shane Mosley is at this point) get beat up for 60 dollars on PPV? Am I gonna just automatically say that Khan and Pacquiao beat Bradley, but then say I don't want to see those fights because I'm afraid poor little Khan or Pac might get head butted? Lol. I'm a boxing fan first dude. Fight the best out there or step the fuck off. That's all there is to it.

Let's get Khan-Bradley on.

Let's get Khan-Bradley on.

Bradley beats that stiff, basic weak chin up in the air hype job runner from pillar to post when it happens and I'll put all my points on it.

I am sure someone takes you up on it.


We could have a unified champ that way and that's all good, and rare.

Winner fights Mabuza-Judah winner. LOL.

HBO said Bradley was 148, not 164.

Where did you hear that?

[Chief2ndzOnly!]

are you horus? (pulling "facts" out of thin air)

I figured someone would post that after I read his post. Thank you. Green on the way.

I think Bradley had a hard time with Devon (Southpaw with speed) and will have a tougher time with Pac

... But then again I haven't seen Pacquiao face someone like Bradley (that can move, great head movement with decent speed) even tho I do believe Pac will win by late KO

I could see Pac really hurting Bradley. It wouldn't be easy or quick. Bradley's aggression, heart, talent, and awkwardness would keep the fight close but he simply doesn't have the defense. Without the defense he would get worn down and take a lot of punches. If I'm Bradley's trainer I have the guy slipping 5000 punches a workout, doing chin exercise, blocking punches with arms and shoulders. If he can step up his defense then he has a chance. Its difficult for boxers to improve at this stage so I wouldn't bet on him. He does have a Hollyfield Tyson chance. If he can execute a gameplan and benefit from head butts he can pull an upset.
