Comments Thread For: Bradley: Mayweather is a Tougher Fight Than Pacquiao

[Lorily]

I'm a big Timothy Bradley fan, but I don't think he'd have a chance in hell to beat Pacquiao (or FMJ). While I think he's right about Mayweather being a tougher fight stylistically, all of Pacs former opponents say the same thing that Mayweathers do - and that is that they all basically thought they had the plan figured out and knew what to do to beat them when they fight.... once they get in the ring with them it's a whole other diminsion. With Floyd it's tactical and frustrating, with Pac it's being completely overwhelmed with fast hard shots that seem to come from nowhere all night long.

As I said, I'm a BIG fan of Bradleys - but I could almost see a fight between him and Pac playing out a bit like the Pac/Clottey fight (although not quite that drastically). I think that Bradley's plan would be to start out defensive and try to make Pac miss, and counter - and then turn it up later and trying to back Pac up. The problem is that Manny never lets up and is like the damn energizer bunny. Pac also seems to get fueled even more when he does get hit with a good shot. I think Bradley gets completely overwhelmed by Pac by round 6, and with no answer to the Pac puzzle he ends up mostly moving and covering up just to try and stay upright and finish the fight.

Personally I think Khan ought to be Bradleys #1 priority, at whatever weight. Period, point blank. Certainly he should fight Amir before he realistically even thinks about fighting Pacquiao or Mayweather. IMO.

for someone like bradley to say who is a tougher fight, i dont think his opinion matters. all i have to do is compare common opponants...and i see pac 2 (hatton and delahoya) to frauds 1 (marquez).

dis time around, i see pac outdoing marquez much better than how the fraud did to marquez...with that said, i see pac holding a 3 to 1 edge over fraud.

for those of you who say, "well, styles make fights"...if so, then pacs style will beat frauds style...just look at what happened to delahoya and hatton ;o)

also, look at what happended to ivan calderon (twice to segura), who is supposedly be the small version of fraud...segura beat calderon with offensive, hahaha...YAH, STYLES MAKE FIGHTS BROS ;O)

you are right about everything mentioned. i also would like to see bradley vs khan...and it looks like it could happen in the welterweight division than in the jr welterweight. i also think khan would outbox bradley easy by using his jabs and distant....then throwing combos here and there...no way bradley will have an answer for khans offense

Bradley is more rounded then Khan,but that fight does need to happen imo..I hope it get's made..

Bradley has a smarter head than Ortiz. Bradley knows how to use a legal headbutt.

I could not make head nor tails of that post ?

I saw you mention the phrase " styles make fights ".

Then I saw you make an evaluation that completely ignored the fact that styles make fights, so..... go figure?

1.) comparing common opponents is ridiculous, when you did that, you COMPLETELY IGNORED the fact that "styles make fights".

2.) "pacs style will beat frauds style...just look at what happened to delahoya and hatton"..... because Hoya and Hatton resemble Floyd how? I didnt get that at all.

3.) My boy Calderon is not Mayweather, or even close, and Segura is not Pacquiao, so I didnt get your point there either.

Wouldnt it have been easier just to say that pacman is the greatest of all time, and that Gayweather is a coward?

[Cottofan72]

Bradley would get stopped by either. Fast. Remember how hard he got dropped by Holt?

I just red k'd Bradley.

LOL at Dehydrator ACTUALLY red k'in me for this.
