    People act like they never seen Bradley box. He outboxed 2 very good fighters & out fought the rest.
    I rewatched Bradley-Witter last night, his boxing is a little underrated.

    One thing I notice though is when he fights southpaws the fights are quite sloppy I.e Witter, Alexander, Casamayor although all 3 were clear victories they were all sloppy fights.

    Then again they are all boxers and have vastly different styles to Pacquaio.

      He's going to smother, I think. He has a decided advantage in inside fighting and probably has an advantage in strength as well, so I think he will take every opportunity to land a shot and move inside, so he can land some body shots and clinch. The danger is in catching shots moving in, but Bradley isn't Marquez or Mosley, and should not exclusively try to copy either.
      I think Boxing is his only glimmer of a chance.

      I think if he trys to be aggressive he's going to take a lot of shots.

        I don't know, I'm not saying he should go crazy trying to stay in Pacquiao's chest or anything, but Bradley could be very competitive if he tried to land single shots and clinch, because Pacquiao has been very easy to clinch lately, he just sort of accepts it. Bradley could exploit that.

        Doing one thing won't work, so he would have to mix it up, but that's an approach I think might work. Bradley will have to make the fight ugly, and clinching will be part of that, whether he is boxing or moving forward.

          I'm not so sure, I just think when he let's his hands go he's very open.

          Like in the Alexander fight, the best moment of the fight probably when Alexander got caught in the ropes, he's very open there.

          I think the best option personally is to focus on Boxing, because he can box. Better than anyone he has fought for many years other than obviously Marquez.

          Even then though I still think he will lose.

            Worst thing that can happen to Bradley, strange as it sounds, is if he stuns Pacquiao with a shot. That's when Bradley gets very undisciplined and wings really wide shots, and would be in the most danger.

              It really is. I won't expect him to go toe to toe in a phone booth with Pacmonster. Not when a shot Mosley & Marquez showed the world movement hampers his punch output. Limiting his explosevness. I mean people should really sit back & think on who Pacman fought these last couple of years. Bradley matches his stamina, probably has more. That's what I gave Pacman the advantage with with many fighters. Bradley isn't slow, he can be technical if needed & he hasn't lost. I honestly see Pacman needing to find a way to beat him moreso than he beating Pacman.

              Anyway remember that I told you that any of these young fighters given a chance could hand either 1 of those top fighters an L, it's time to see whats up.
