I agree entirely. I still wonder if anyone has seen Bradley fight or completely dismissed Pacman's 2 dismal showings last year. How they keep him on this high horse so long is beyond me. Bradley is younger, faster, has better conditioning & more respectible power above 140 than the great Marquez does. (No diss to Marquez), but I don't see him competing with any other top 10 welterweight.

I guess some people have not really watched Bradley's fights. Top rank signed him for a reason!! I like Pac and all but this is a 50/50 fight no question. And to be honest the 50/50 thing comes from me having SOME faith in Pac's abilities (which aint all that!!) Just my opinion here but; Bradley will beat pac and all the people who have been sold the Pacman brand will go craaaaaaazy. And IF he fights Floyd and gets dominated I honestly believe somewhere in the world someone will commit suicide.

Everything you guys said about Bradley is true and I think he would whoop JMM ass right now but styles make fights and his style is all wrong for Pac. It will be like the early Holt fight except he wont get up this time and if he does then Pac will buzz his ass out again. He will make Pac look like the Cotto version and Rios would make Pac look like the Hatton versionComment

Rios Gets KO'd By Manny Pacquiao!
Rios will find out like Maidana did, these guys are too big and strong and take an absolute beating by Manny if that fight ever comes off. Rips needs to beat some "names" before getting Manny. Everyone wants that payday though.Comment

Pac and Holt do not have the same style/skills/attributes, but you obviously know that lol. If we exchange Holt with Pac, I'm not sure if Bradley gets caught in that type of exchange. Holt had a laid-back demeanor, he was fighting on the back foot in the first round. So, this motivated Bradley to set the pace. However, Bradley got caught cuz he became predictable and overly aggressive. He threw his jab (and stepped in with it), and as he's getting prepared to throw his right, Holt lets off a wicked right uppercut/left hook combo which freezes Bradley's feet, and then he flattens him with a left hook (as Bradley is trying to land a counter). Now in my opinion, Holt hits harder than Pac. The way he lured Bradley in and timed him took patience, which is something that Pac isn't really known for lol. For the most part, Pac's power comes from his speed, not because he's naturally heavy-handed. Pac is a mid-range fighter who needs that space to blind you with his jab and land the straight left effectively. Holt landed this combination on the inside, AND he has longer arms than Pac. Pac isn't an effective inside fighter, and he enjoys being the aggressor. What makes Pac special is that he has the ability to attack in unorthodox angles and patterns. However, the way you **** that up is by out-maneuvering him with footwork. Bradley is gonna have an easier time reaching Pac than he did Holt, i'm almost sure of it. Now, can Bradley get caught? of course he can. But I don't think he'll get hurt more than he was in the Holt fight. Pac does damage over time, so if anything, Bradley gets stopped later on in the fight. This is assuming that Bradley doesn't go into the ring cold.
Pac would not pull a Hatton on Rios. At 147, Rios would not be weight-drained, his punch resistance would be higher, so he definitely won't get KO'ed by one punch. Rios would have the height/reach advantage, and would attempt to smother Pac by getting on the inside, where Pac is least effective.
Pac cannot reverse the hands of time. He's not the same man he was when he fought Hatton. Nor when he fought Cotto. Pac's flaws are apparent to anyone with 2 eyes and a bit of boxing knowledge. He can't be out-worked, but he can be made to look foolish if you fight him correctly.Comment

I like Rios I really do but at the same time I get this feeling that Top Rank has these extraordinary plans for him as a major superstar- like maybe another Pacquiao/Mayweather type of star and I just don't see that happening.
Clearly Brandon cannot appeal to everyone, I mean the kid is already getting a bit of hate on here for whatever reason whether it be his "vulgar mouth"
or him being a supposed "Margarito clone", he is a rough and tough rugged guy that'll fight anybody, and boxing DESPERATELY needs more of these types nowadays....
Still, as much as I love Bam Bam, I don't see him fairing well against Pacquiao.Comment
