Pacquiao vs. Bradley

[chav]

I think Manny knocks Bradley down, maybe even a couple of times, but Bradleys conditioning saves him and gets him through, but beaten and fairly easily.
I still want to see this fight as Bradley might have some good periods of success, but unless he has picked up a heavy punch out of no where then I don't see him winning and keeping manny away from him.

The fact that he was there to be hit - and that early too - says more to me then the fact that he got up. Pacquiao has been fighting at welter for nearly four years now. He'll flatten him at some point. If Bradley can somehow avoid that, however, he'll definitely expose more of Manny's flaws and win some rounds.

I still don't consider pac a true welterweight I think people put too much into that, like everyone was saying pac would KO marquez with ease and he didn't even hurt him this time.

You may have a point about bradley being open though. But I don't think that has anything to do with size I reckon if they fought at 140 it would be the same outcome. I think it goes the distance if it does go down (hopefully cuz this sure as hell beats a pointless cotto rematch).

He's a true welterweight. Hasn't fought at or under 140 in how long? He's a welter and has been for years. His inability to KO Marquez has more to do with his boxing deficiencies than his power. And Marquez' chin.

small welterweight for sure. only rehydrates a few pounds compared to other welterweights who rehydrate 10+ pounds. anyways, doesn't matter. personally I don't really see a size difference other than pac is used to fighting bigger guys for the most part. bradley has a good chin, good boxing skills, I think he can go the distance. we'll see if it happens though if not, i'd love to see bradley vs marquez

Whatever, small, big...he's a welter. If he felt any way about it he would've fought Marquez at 135 or 140. Instead, he felt fighting him at welter was to his advantage. Plus, he's been fighting there for years now. Go back and look at welters throughout history. Tommy Hearns was 145 when he fought Leonard. Heck, Cotto fought Pacquiao at 145. They aren't the same size wise though, nor do they rehydrate the same. Bottom line, they're all welters.

think so? I always considered bradley having a pretty good chin, but he's in such good shape he can get himself off the canvas...like that knockdown against Holt, man, that should have knocked out any man. I was shocked he got up. And to go on to win nonetheless.

I was even more impressed that Bradley was smart enough and had the presence of mind to take a knee within the 10-count after he got up. He could've done what everyone else does and played macho while standing on shaky legs.

I think Bradley has the skills to go the distance and have his moments. My guess is that there will be another important battle going on inside his head. During the fight he'll have to balance between him doing the right thing at every moment vs. doing something reckless to be exciting for the fans. All that while Manny is in front of him darting in and out.

I think a dominating performance from Pac is what is need in order to restore the confidence of the boxing public that Mayweather vs Pacquiao is going to be competitive. It would put a lot more juice back into the fight.

I have the feeling that Bradley will be anything BUT dominated.

He has fought as welter, but he's really on limit of jr welter. Roach said Manny's natural weight is 140.

If his natural weight was 140 that's where he would've fought Marquez. And 144 isn't junior welter. He's been fighting at welter for years now. Enough already.

I think Pac would win via stoppage in the later rounds
