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

[boxingfan76]

One of the reasons JMM is able to beat Pac is because of his footwork, none of those guys come close to what JMm knows Pac, and how to fight lefthanders, he takes a step back goes to pacs right and charges forward and lands right hands almost at will on Pac. Bradley is Faster than any of those guys but he was caught very cleanly coming in by Casamayor a mistake he cant make with Pac, Bradleys best chance is to smother Pac in close but im not so sure hell be able to do that without getting Ko'ed if hes does pull it off great Im pulling For Bradley, Pac in my eyes is coming off a loss.....Bradleys handspeed is his greatest asset and youth, but his lack of power is also a concern, how can u compare a guy with 13kos to a guy with 39 kos?? thats a big difference in pop.

What proof is there that JMM has more power then Bradley at 140lb??He has fought nobody of note there,and at WW he was beat up by Mayweather and I would not say he visible hurt Pac..Hit him with clean punches,yes..Hurt him,no...

Wow It goes to show that Bradley really needs to talk himself up. This ude is not very smart if he really thinks this is gonna be an easy fight. He's gonna get his a*s whipped!!!!!

I think Bradley is gonna surprise a lot of people. Can't wait for this fight!

I'll tell you one thing, Cotto, Mosley, JMM, Margarito and DLH combined don't provide the footwork and movement that Bradley does. Roach is a pretty cool guy but I think he has Bradley figured wrong.

I'm sure Roach will be watching more tapes and hopefully he will get that there is more to Bradley than a come forward fighter.

but

My concern is that he will make the same mistake as he did prior to the fight with Marquez. Roach kept on saying that Marquez had been fighting more aggressive ever since he moved up to 135 and that will be his downfall when he fights Manny .... as we now know, Marquez didn't do what Roach said.

That's the thing....Bradley has been studying Pac for years.....Pac doesn't even know who Bradley is.

Hey Tim when you wake up from your little nap Pacquiao will give you. You will say shoot that was an easy fight, where I'm I.

[Jack Napier]

easy fight? no way
but Pac will take punishment in the fight
Bradley can win if he doesn't get hurt
Pac has to put damage on Bradley or avoid his sots altogether
he definitely won't fight a defensive fight, so he needs damage
if he can't get Bradley's respect, Pac will get punished

Very well put, but The Bradley kool aide fan will disagree

The opening rounds,with an s??Cotto may have won the 1st rd,but he did not win more then that..Not to mention Cotto is not a versatile fighter,he only fights well coming forward..Then if he is up on the cards he go's into retreat mode..Not effective boxing,all out retreat...It was a good win for Pac,but I can't remember Pac every fighting such a well rounded fighter like Bradley...

It's been a while since I've watched that fight but Cotto was definitely doing well early on. Cotto actually burst Pacquiao's eardrum and this is how Pac looked after the fight:



I'd dispute your argument that Cotto only fights well coming forward, he fought a pretty good backfoot fight against Margarito last time out.

Overall I just think Pacquiao is too fast and powerful for Bradley but I hope we see a competitive fight.
