    Is Pacquiao vs Bradley a Mismatch and is Bradley Overhyped?

    Watch the Abregu fight and you'll see Abregu almost matches Bradley for speed at 147, and he's more powerful. Abregu was able to land some good shots on Bradley, now imagine what Pacs going to do.

    All Pacquiao has to do is put pressure on him, he'll be able to eat a few of Bradley's low-power shots easy while consistently landing some bombs of his own which should lead to Bradley getting KO'd fairly easily and maybe even early.

    But the other scenario is that once Bradley feels Pacquiao's power he'll just run for the whole fight with very few exchanges, kind of like Mosley did. That's a good possibility too and Bradley does have the ability to survive for 12 on his feet.

    Bradley will have to improve dramatically to stand a chance against Pacquiao. Personally I think this could turn out to be a mismatch. Bradley's resume is laughable compared to Pacquiao's and he didn't look very impressive at all against Abregu at 147. Bradley may well be overhyped when you think about it, just like Bute was.

    Bradley has fought better competition than Bute, but yeah he might get exposed by Manny. Manny has managed to make bigger and stronger fighters quit or he KO'd them. Bradley doesn't have alot of power, something you will need to keep Manny off of you. I like Manny to keep winning to set a bigger fight in the fall.

          HUGE mismatch, with the winner already determined via house judging.

          Bradley = wide, ugly, weak punches

          Pacquiao rips these type of boxers apart.

            Mismatch in what way? Hardcore fans have been screaming for this fight. Bradley would also beat Margarito to a pulp according to them.

            Who do they want Pacman to fight this time other than Bradley?

                Bradley is a come foward fighter with below average power, decent defense and in no way shape or form a counter puncher.Pacquiao should have an easy time with him but Bradley uses that head to perfection so watch out!

                  Bradley is not over hyped. He has a good resumer at 140 but only fought 1 time in 147. Maybe in WW he is hyped but over all, no.
