    what makes you think you can take out pac!?
    Dude dropped Peterson, Witter, Abregu and wobbled him at least 5 times in the fight.....Abregu is twice Pac's size. Bradley has pop but it is deceptive...he doesn't really follow through all the way so he can retract his arms quickly and move. I'll definitely say this, Bradley's power was considerably more noticeable at 147 than 140.


    He doesn't sound scared to me, he has plenty of confidence. He knows that anything CAN happen in any fight, I just think that he is saying he isn't going to run away like Mosley and if he is going to lose anyway, either by ko or decision, he is going to go down fighting.

    I've also heard him laugh and say that there is absolutely no way that Pac can beat him......I wouldn't read too much into what he says, his performances in the ring show me everything I need to know about his confidence.

        I'm really intrigued by this bout and agree with much of what you say. I've liked Timothy Bradley for a long time now--he can be a special fighter and may be on his way, who knows? His boxing skills are highly underrated, and perhaps that's because he doesn't mind going for it, oft times leaving himself wide open in his rush to punish his opponent. But those youthful mistakes will diminish as he matures - I thought he showed great discipline against Abregu. I haven't watched the Casamayor bout and I have to before making a final, final pick here. Manny Pacquiao is no Carlos Abregu. He's a favorite for a reason and, for now, I see no reason to pick against him. But Timothy Bradley is as live as it gets (sans Mayweather/Martinez) and an upset here shouldn't surprise anyone.

          I don't believe anybody is comparing Abregu to Tito..But never the less,he was/is bigger then Bradley..For Bradley to have stunned and staggered him so many times let's you know,Bradley has more pop then giving credit for..

            Come on.....31-1 (25 kos).....I think there are worse guys that Bradley could have fought instead.

              I'm sure Bradley is working on an effective fight plan, and if you have watched any of Tim's fights you'd clearly see that he isn't a reckless fighter. He comes forward at times, but with effective tight defense and great footwork, he's also one of the best smothering type fighters in the game IMO. And, if you look at the L. Peterson fight he clearly demonstrates how well he can box on the back foot.

              Bradley is extremely versatile, and that's why I'm picking the upset here. Best believe it. I'm sorry, but ANYONE who doesn't think Bradley is a damn good fighter either hasn't watched his fights, or they're abilities to comprehend what good well rounded boxing skills are, are quite limited.

              Yeah, I know I've been a believer that Bradley is one of the best boxers in the world for a few years now and he is one of the most versatile fighters out there. It's amazing to me that people call him one-dimensional and a bum..I'm just like what in the world man? They can't really mean what they are saying.

                I suppose Philip N'Dou is a good fighter aswell 31-1 (30 kos).

                Not really. Abregu is a **** fighter and has literally done nothing of note in his entire career and never will.

                  Difference is that Abregu is ranked 27th in the world at his weight and N'dou isn't ranked at all. Boxrec says he has lost 4 times as well...

                  Either way, he is twice as big as Pac and he had no problem rocking him....if he tags Pac flush, Pac is going to feel it.

                    Oh my God, he's 27th in the World at his weight? Wow.

                    I can imagine N'dou was atleast Top 30-35 at 135 when Mayweather fought him too.

                    Yes, he's lost 4 times now but when he fought Mayweather he was 31-1 with 30 KO's, hecan't be poor with that record.

                    Just because he's twice as big as Pacquaio and he rocked him mean's nothing. Literally, nothing.
