Tim Bradley -vs- Juan Manuel Marquez Official Thread!

[DrewWoodside]

marqeuz by decision. how many times have we seen size means nothing power and strength means nothing. its about styles skills gameplan and determination. marquez is more technically sound than bradley better timing and more experienced. he can deal with speed and agressive fighters. marquez weakness is faster better counter punchers. bradley faster but not a better counter puncher.

i feel bradley would get jabed by marquez all night and when he rush in would be open for uppercuts and combinations. marquez is very accurate and always focused and in shape.
unless marquez gets old overnight or not 100% i see him beating bradley by decision maybe late stoppage

This is the fight that needs to happen. Good for both men. If I'm Gary Shaw though.. I might be cautious and take a softer look for Bradley. This fight could turn ugly for Bradley quickly. JMM might also think this belongs on PPV, and no one would see it. (note: I'd buy it)

Bradley/JMM would be an incredible fight. JMM has a good shot at keeping it close. I can't see Bradley losing this though. He's a bigger, faster, better version of Diaz.

This fight would probably be even money. With the line shifting towards JMM a day or two before the fight.

JMM would outsmart and counter punch Bradely to death!! JMM will school Bradely and prove all his doubters wrong!! That would be great for him to be champion in four different weight classes, If I am not mistaken he would be the first Mexican to do it!!

This fight seems pretty obvious.. Hopefully someone involved figures it out.

Possible. Bradley is closer to Mayweather than Katsidis though.

i think its a toss up, i would love to see it happen.

i dont agree with most ppl here concerning size, the only problem to me is marquez being comfortable at 140 and not losing too much ability. if he pulls that of bradleys size wont really be a problem, JMM doesnt belong at 140 but either does bradley. that hes done so well for himself is a testament of his kill and determination. hes not really a big guy and hes far from a puncher. if anyone is getting hurt its bradley cuz marquez is a ****ing animal. the speed, power and accuracy of his combinations with every punch placed in the right spot is second to none. and he can knock u out with perfect countershot at anytime too. again better speed, power, skills and smarts than anyone else in the sport.

on the other hand bradley is really, really good and in his prime. hes wellrounded. i struggle to see how he would beat JMM but i struggle to see bradley beat period, hes so wellrounded and determined he will give anyone hell.

If this fight doesn't at least get talked about or negotiatied by someone involved in the business, it's pretty damn sad. On paper it's a possible foty candidate.

Great matchup. Bradley is tough but he might not be ready for JMM. Although JMM might just be old enough where Bradley gets to him. Great matchup I'd rather see this fight than Khan

can't be bothered to read all the posts in this thread

Imagine how Bradley's big ass head would swell up to from taking so many clean shots up the middle from Marquez while Tim does his best slapzalge impression.
