Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley: I Honestly Feel Pacquiao is an Easy Fight!

[LeG00N]

True because Morales last ko against a legit opponent came???Ummm,actually it never came..Sorry..

KO's don't always equal power.....

KO's don't always equal power.....

I totally agree,so how do you believe Morales hits harder then Bradley??Morales has not even KD a legit opponent has he??Bradley has,see what I'm getting at??

[hugh grant]

So brad thinks pac will be easier even than al his previous opponents? Dont Brad think he will be a bit harder at the very least?

But lets just hope Pac realizes Brad thinks this, and trains even more smart, rather than overtrain.
Pac should view Bradley as his hardest to date, even harder than Floyd.

I agree with what Bradley said, and this time's words is I want to hear, very confident, come on guy!

I can't say I agree with most of what I have read in this thread. I think people are giving Bradley way too much credit, and putting too much stock in the Marquez fight leading them to also underestimating Pacquiao. Name me one fighter Bradley has faced that is anywhere near the level of Pacquiao? There isn't even one name on his resume to indicate that he is on Pacquiao's level. Then to come and say that he "Thinks it will be an easy fight" I have to just shake my head in embarrassment for him. Sure, Bradley DOES have some tools, no one can deny that, but has he been swarmed the way Pacquiao does to opponents? Has he faced that kind of speed and power combination before? Has he fought anyone with the chin that Pacquiao has? No, he hasn't. This is not a match of some old broke down fighter going up against a hot up and comer, this isn't De La Hoya - Chavez or something like that. Bradley is the one stepping up here, and Pacquiao is the big fish he is looking to mount in his wall.

I think you are going to see a return to form from Pacquiao in this fight. Folks have read waaaay too deeply into the Marquez fight, the media storm that surrounded it, and the doom and gloom forecast by anxious critics waiting to see Pacquiao fall praying to God he is truly slipping off the perch. I highly doubt that. Marquez is to Pacquiao what Norton was to Ali, a guy who just had his number and whose style clashed well enough with his own to make every fight competitive. The only reason people are huffing and puffing about the Marquez fight is because coming in, Marquez was so underrated and given no chance of winning, that when he was competitive everyone **** themselves and thought "Oh no, Manny is a shell of his former self." The bottom line on that fight is that while Marquez was competitive he lost, he didn't go and take the title, he just did better than people expected.

Bradley is no Marquez, his style isn't anywhere near similar, and if he tries to employ the same tactics it won't work, he will lose. A lot of you seem to think the Pacquiao camp is just totally unprepared, they know absolutely nothing about Bradley, and have no idea what kind of strategy he may try to employ. That is far from likely. Many have noted that Freddie Roach seems to think Bradley will come forward to Manny. I don't think that's what he's counting on, I think that's what they are going to make him do, by using their own movement, their own speed, their own jab, etc.... They are going to use angles on Bradley as he over commits on his punches and leaves himself off balance and open for flurries of counter punches. If Bradley tries to do the lazy, counter-punch style, he's just going to get out-worked by the flurries from Pacquiao. If he decides to be a pressure fighter and stand in front of Pacquiao or try to come forward, he plays right into Pacquiao's hands. No matter what, I don't see a lot of things working in Bradley's favor.

I think a lot of people are building Bradley as a much bigger contender in their minds and on this forum, because everyone is just waiting to see Pacquiao really lose and lose royally. I don't think that hand is in the cards just yet for Pacquiao, I think he's going to show a lot of the critics here that he is just fine on June 9th, and people will be upset when Bradley goes down. Folks are already making excuses for him, it won't matter what way he loses.

Thats a good answer but, Bradley TKO Pac within 4 rounds.

Bradley's words sound kind of fishy.....easy work? Either they have agreed that Pac is throwing the fight so that TR has a next superstar or he is losing his mind.

Damn it timmey is spacing out.
