Comments Thread For: Bradley Sees Weaknesses: I'll Definitely Beat Pacquiao!

[tibbar]

Bradley's come forward style is tailor-made for Pacquiao - it's good that's he's confident; but to quote the HOF Mike Tyson..."everybody has a plan, till you get punched in the mouth." IMO, that's exactly what happened to Mosley; when Pacquiao rang his bell, Mosley started to run for dear life. And that's exactly what's going to happen to Bradley. If Bradley gets up, his only WW fight was with Abrego (at 146.5lbs). And he won that by UD. Does Timmy have the KO power (not with a KO Ratio of 41%) to KO Pacquiao; probably not. Does Pacquiao have the KO power to KO Bradley, yes. Pacquiao by TKO in the 8th or 9th rnd.

i always read about this "fighter being tailor-made for another fighter" thing and here again you were saying bradley's come forward style is tailor-made for manny pacquiao that gives impression of a sure win for pacquiao, now may i ask as i would really like to know since you knew whats style is tailor made for pacquiao how about tim bradley, what style is tailor made for him? is manny pacquiao style of similar come forward a tailor made for him or not? is it his style or his lack of KO power which can really spell doom for him during the fight?

I hope Pacquiao KO's buckethead, Ricky Hatton style.

This bum needs to be exposed.

Bradley will lose because it's not personal, it's business.

Arum sure does say it best.

Has Pac even commented on Bradley yet ?

[DAN916]

Bradley is not a very good counterpuncher and has no pop on his punches so im kind of curious what his game plan is.

[jvsnypes]

First of all, lets be honest. Manny always win his fights because he is the better athlete in the ring. He does not beat his opponents because he is the better skilled boxer. So when he fights a guy like Mosley, even though Mosley is a shot fighter, he stuggles because Mosley is still a great athlete. I don't know if that makes sense to anyone, but its the truth. If Manny wasn't the supreme athlete that he is, Marquez would beat him easily every time. Manny usually has the better foot work and is usually the faster quicker fighter against his opponents.

Here's the problem. Manny never fights guys that are as athletic as him. That's going to all change on June 9th. Bradley, in this fight, will be the better athlete. He has better foot work than Manny and is much more coordinated. His skill level is better in terms of orthodox boxing and he can match Manny's hand speed. Bradley has the better defense and inside game. Manny will finally be exposed in this fight. Jumping in and out and throwing unorthodox combinations will simply not work with a fighter with the tools of Bradley.

This fight will look similiar to when Eric Morales fought Zahir Rhaheem. Great fighters like Morales, Barrera, and Pacquiao look great fighting each other and fighters that stand in front of them. But put a guy that slips and counter, plus gives angels, show good defense, plus a good chin, and most importantly knows how to tie up, they will give them fits!!!

Another comparison is Chavez vs Whitaker. Chavez maybe the greatest Mexican fighter of all time, but a soft hitting Pernell made him look ordinary. The bottom line is,fighters like Manny are great when they are matched up with the right style. Manny, Morales, Berrara all FIGHT GREAT. Mayweather, Whitaker, Leonard are GREAT FIGHTERS. There is a HUGE difference. Those guys adapt to any style and find a way to win. Manny doesn't adapt as well and will surely struggle against Bradley.

lets go bradley shock the world!!!

[Filo]

He has the offensive arsenal (fast right to be body and head, good left hook) can throw combinations.But what happens when he gets hit.I don't see this guy as a discipline,he's wild and sometimes willing to trade mindlessly.I think he might try to work on the inside.That's if he can pin Manny down.He will have moments for sure.If he can handle Manny power.I definitely see Manny losing this fight.But I think Manny is too experienced to be out foxed by this hungry young lion and i definitely do not see Manny having problems bouncing punches on this kid's cranium.

[LoveForBoxing]

He needs to get in close and spoil the fight Bernard Hopkins, Andre ward style this is the only way he will win getting in close leading with his head and letting shots go doesn't matter where they land just throw them and repeat.

Trying to box is not going to work as manny will be faster, counter punching lets face it is not Bradley's style and trading with pac would be silly as pac hits a hole lot harder then himself it's hard to see Bradley winning this one but i will be rooting for him because i like rooting for the under dog and iv come to like the dude.

[Rome-By-Ko]

I can't wait for this fight,Team Pac better not sleep..Bradley is starving,and very dangerous..
