Please don't tell me you see Cotto using head movement to dodge punches. His defense consists of putting his gloves in front of his face like joshua Clottey and Winky Wright. There is no comparison between Cotto and Bradley. Let Pac throw his combo punches and miss and see if he doesn't gas out.
when dealing with pac, it's not just about jab and head movement...what comes next after those moves is more important. that's where jmm was successful...his counterpunching. he counter-attacks with combinations and accurate punching. can bradley do that? we'll see. and don't forget that pac has good movements and footwork too. if bradley is a moving target, so does pac.Last edited by brick wall; 05-16-2012, 12:59 AM.

I've been over this before. The figures written a Nevada contract are not necessarily the real number for big PPV guys. They get most of their money off PPV generally. So if Manny's "official" purse is $8 million fine. But he is guaranteed in his contract with Top Rank (which is not something the commission would have or release if if did) something like $20 million or whatever. The money is the money. One of the reasons for the disaprity is because Manny is not a US citizen and is often paid a large amount of his money through his Filipino promotional company and deals in the Philippines for things like the television revenue there. So while it looks like a big difference it is not in reality. So folks can keep on drinking the kool aid. But they dont get how the business actually works when it comes to fighters from overseas. I once covered a world title fight in Vegas with a champion from South Africa in say about 2002. His Nevada contract for a world title fight said his official purse was like $1,000. But he was making more like $50,000 because of the TV money from South Africa. You can do anything with numbers. What is written on the Nevada paper for big time fights isn't worth the paper it is written on.

War Bradley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bradley is going to be slipping from side to side and pounding that body...Roach had a vid showing that Pac is going to be doing this crazy body blocking stuff followed by a right had counter. Pac will put his hands in the air and invite Bradley to punch him....everyone knows that.
Roach is trying to get Pac to box Bradley and use Bradley's aggression against him..all Bradley has to do is box...use the jab and follow with the straight right when Pac throws the lead left. I fully expect Bradley to put on a great performance...Pac will be impressive as always but Bradley's performance will make a lot of people realize how good he is.
