Can Bradley actually win a decision against Pacquiao?

[bojangles1987]

Too many people are jumping on this "Bradley has to whitewash Pacquiao to win a close decision" kick now. I highly doubt that Bradley has to win 9 or 10 rounds to get a decision, because of what everyone thinks of the Marquez fight.

It's a possibility. Bradley is a young fighter under the Top Rank banner and Pacquiao is an aging fighter. Arum may choose to create a new cash cow.

I truly think that Timothy Bradley is a big investment for Bob Arum. I think Arum signed Bradley to be the man that sends Manny into retirement. This way, Arum still has an undefeated champion who has just upset a future hall of famer. Bradley will become his new cashcow.So if this fight goes the distance, there's a good chance they will give it to Bradley strictly to set up a very lucrative rematch. That fight would be even bigger, and Arum makes loads of money without Floyd even being a factor because everything stays inhouse. I don't care much for Arum, but that's brilliant on his part.

Arum knows that Floyd will beat the hell out of Manny. So, why not sign a fighter to top rank that is younger and has similiar abilities? Put him in the ring with Manny and hope its a close fight so you can build him up to the level of Manny and Floyd. Or better yet, if he wins...now you still have your new cash cow. There are many other big fights out there for Bradley and you have no need for Floyd Mayweather, who you hate with a passion. Once again,I don't like Arum, but signing Bradley was a great business move.

The next cash cow under Top Rank will be Jose Benavidez Jr. Make no mistake about it, as long as Jr. continues to deliver. He will be groomed to be the next Golden Boy.

Adding Tim to his stable, is nothing more than a simple ploy to milk Pacman dry for what he is worth.

why do people think if manny loses one fight he will suddenly not be a cash cow? look how many times that loser delahoya lost and he was still generating millions in his end days. if bradley wins he doesn't suddenly take over manny's generating power just like if floyd beat pac he wouldn't. or vice versa. the same million to million plus dummies buy fighters with popular fights every time out. they aren't gonna suddenly change based on 1 win or loss. marketing takes time and so does losing your marketability.

if marquez can put on a master class and lose then bradley has no chance of winning a decision.

For Tim to win a decision against Manny, I think he would need to win something like 9 rounds to 3. Even then, I could see Bradley getting robbed. If the fight is close you know Manny will win by decision. I hope Tim gets a fair shake.

Well, too much with this, Pacquiao never had in his career a gift decision except maybe the third fight against Marquez, and this is a fight where half of the "experts" had Manny winning (boxrec), I recognize a lot of fighters said Marquez won(I think a lot of them are jealous with all the Pacquiao hype),but whatever, it was a close fight, I thought Marquez won, but you can make a case for Pacquiao who was busier and landed a lil bit more.

Any card giving 9 rounds to Marquez or Manny (like this old ****** Lederman) is bull****.

I think if Bradley dominates Manny he will get the nod, if it's a close fight, he won't unfortunately and complain like Marquez along with *****s.

if marquez can put on a master class and lose then bradley has no chance of winning a decision.

Does Manny Pacquiao allows you to sleep??
Must be boring to be all day on a forum ****ting on a fighter...

[BillyBoxing]

Based on what ? two close fights with Marquez well tbh i did thought Marquez deserved to win the third fight but still you make it out like there has been a constant streak of fights pacman has been given the nod because of his name

This...

And clowns make it out like Marquez put a beating on Pac, white washed him and won 9,10 rounds...

[KhaosReigns1911]

I honestly feel like styles make fights and that Bradley is going to give Pac a boxing lesson. Bradley UD 12, possibly even a tko stoppage in the late rounds.

[Barry Halls]

depends. Is it just business?
