    Me too, I'm as anxious as you are. Sort of stunned by some of the comments you've made, now, I can only HOPE we get it!

      Bradley is not a counter puncher like Marquez or Floyd for that matter. The fact that you're comparing Bradley to Marquez who has had 3 fights with Pac and gone 36 rounds is funny. Do you know what Marquez had to go through in the first 2 fights to have an understanding of how to counter Pac, or do you just think it happened over night?

      Bradley throws wild combonations which are completely different than the ones Marquez throws. Pacquiao will counter Bradley like he did Cotto for the first 4 or 5 rounds.

      Bradley might match up better with Marquez, but Pacquiao?? Absolutely not. Bradley doesn't have enough fire power to keep Pac off. We're not even counting the fact if the fight is without OST. Pac will take Bradley a part.

      Lol @ you using a video with Bradley counter punching Abregu as leverage on how he can possibly counter Pac.

      Log off.
      Bradley's defense, body punching, right hand, conditioning > Cotto. I strongly doubt he gets hit anywhere close to as many times Cotto was.

        At 147???

        I know Cotto and Pac fought at a catchweight, but what makes you think Bradley will be stronger at 147 than Cotto was at 145?

        Because of Abregu who he didn't even KO?

          He most likely won't, but strength isn't the only necessity. It's a mix of a lot of things and Bradley is much stronger than Cotto in certain areas, areas that Pacquiao would struggle with.

            But where; let's be specific.

            Bradley has fought at 147 once against Luis Abregu.

            I don't know what makes you think Bradley is much stronger than cotto in certain areas.

            Don't just say Bradley is stronger then leave it at that. Let's hear about these certain areas you're talking about at 147 and why you feel the way you do.

                You said his defense,right hand, body punching, and conditioning lol

                He's had "1" fight at 147. You can tell all of this from the Abregu fight?

                  When did I say that?

                  I base that off of having watched both Bradley and Cotto's fights.

                    What do you think we're talking about now?

                    I've clearly referred to Cotto vs Pac at 145. You said that Bradley had greater fight characteristics than Cotto.

                    I then asked you at what weight?

                    I've been talking about 147 all along where Bradley would potentially fight Pac at.

                    So once again, I'll ask you, do you think Bradley is stronger than Cotto at 145/147?

                      Why does that hold any importance, the weight? Both Pacquiao and Bradley are practically the same size, same Bradley, only different opponent. In the bold, not physically, which was Cotto, Clottey, Margarito...name it, in the end none of that mattered, but in the areas I noted, better body puncher, better conditioned, defense, right hand, counter punching. He's not as battle worn as Cotto either...
