Comments Thread For: Bradley Looking To Come in Light For Pacquiao Clash

I'll gladly offer some feedback for you bro. Bradley isn't faster, nor does he punch harder. However neither did Marquez at welterweight & we saw how that fight went.

well i agree to disagree,bradley and marquez are too diferent fighters,i think marquez could beat bradley fairly easy,like when bradley tries to head butt he would be welcome by a nice inside upper,but back to the issue at hand,i just cant see bradley beating pacquiao(btw i am not a fan of neither,nor may)but i think pacquiao's camp understand that this is a very legit competition and they are very good chances of him losing.I am willing to bet that they will practice that inside upper of marquez..

Manny by K.O.

I don't care what Bradley does between now and the fight, He is getting K.O.'ed come June.

I'm not so sure about Bradley getting KO'd just because I don't have any evidence to support that as being a realistic possibility. If Pac looks even a little bit like he has in recent fights I doubt he will KO Bradley.

Not too surprising to hear that TB is trying to come into the fight light, I'm interested in seeing how they match each other's speed. I view them both as very fast, but only one of them is fast and has KO power. I think Manny will cut the ring and just eat punches to get his own offense working, as per usual. Not a lot to be worried about as far as Bradley's power looks (on paper.)

Bradley will have to fight a very smart fight to pull this one out. His best chance of winning (I think) involves cutting Pac- most likely with that cone-head dome of his.

he won't be faster than Pac no matter how light he comes in
his big advantage here is strength
Bradley never looks sluggish in his fights
Pac's not gonna ride the bicycle in any fight
Bradley has to stay right on him the whole time
if he does he can overpower Pac
physical strength more so than punching power or speed can win for him
coming in light won't help him at all

I agree with your assessment, Bradley would fall to the counter-punching piss drinker easier than he will vs PAC. Team PAC better deliver a convincing performance otherwise Tim is likely to adapt to pacs style like JMM and end up retiring him...

Glad we finally get a fair match in a PacMan opponent. Bradley is 5'6", and fighting at welterweight should allow him to come in with full strength and proper stamina as compared to the fighters that Pacman has starved in the previous bouts (other than Marquez).

This is good stuff. I ain't buying either mega fight, but for the first time in a while, I'm excited about their bouts and see them as somewhat legit. Although the world wanted to see Cotto vs. Mayweather 4-5 years ago. I'm also somewwhat giddy about Canelo vs. Mosley. Seeing how Canelo performs will give us a good indication of the future. WHo knows...maybe Canelo will emerge the beneficiary of a bidding war between Floyd and Pac's camps who seem star-crossed to ever fight each other (in their prime at least!)

BTW, Bradley leaning in with his head, and Pacman able to swing backing up so well, could potentially lead to a brutal KO...something that has been missing from Pacman's performances for years.

Can we stop comparing Bradley to Marquez please? Bradley ISN'T and will NEVER be anything like Marquez.

I didn't like anything Bradley said in this article. This guy is signing his own death certificate. Coming in lighter, aiming for SOLID muscle plus doing a vegan diet? Yea, it's not looking too bright. Pacquiao is gonna annihilate him .

Really?

"his big advantage here is strength"
I am going to pretend that you said that as a joke right? Bradley has no advantages here but it will be an exciting fight while it lasts. Manny's combination of angle-punching. stamina, violent nature, hand-speed, and power are tough to beat in a 12 round fight man. We are dealing with an all-time great at 135-140 easily. He would have beaten a lot of H.O.F.'ers In my opinion.

[mathed]

wow... now you guys are all claiming that a win over Bradley will solidify him as an all time great?!? just wow....

I mean, it would be a good win for Pac and all but it would'nt solidify anything.

hell.... Holt had him KTFO in the first round of their fight. the only reason he got up was because when his head hit the canvas it woke him back up.Yeah, he was able to come back and dominate, but the only reason he wins his fights is cuz it out works his opponents - kinda like Juan Diaz - no power, not a great boxer, just puts in a lot of work but not really THAT great.

Pacs speed should be too much for Bradley too handle ...

Funny he was KTFO yet he won 10 out of 12 rds...it sounds like it was Holt that had the power issues, not Bradley.

Just an average fighter who dominated Peterson, Alexander, Holt (even with two devastating KD's), Abregu, Casamayor, Witter. Laughing my ass off at you comparing Bradley to freaking JUAN DIAZ....
