    not entirely true - muscle definitely translates into punching power......just not in the upper body. for generating power all about the hips, glutes, calves, etc. rotational muscles. bradley's beach muscles (got tired of him bragging about his physique in the buildup to the fight...."look at my abs") mean nada.

    unlike most i actually believe that punching power can be built up over time through hard work, but it takes the right exercises. just doing more of the standard conditioning and boxing drills won't get it done..

        But for some strange reason, after the Cotto/ Margarito fights, right around the time someone bought the legit claim of peds into the equation, Pacman suddenly became an ordinary fighter.
        LMAO! How ****** this post. You should know Pac already has ko power since he was a flyweight and brought along his power up to welterweight. So you mean to say Pac was already using PEDs (the source of his power) since his flyweight days and just stopped using it in Bradleys fight? .

        For unknown reason, Pac didn't use the full 3 minutes to punish Bradley in every round. Its so obvious every time Pac turn on his offense every last minute of every round Bradley had no answer.

        In rematch, Let us see what is Bradley can do when Pac starts attacking him in full 3 minutes in every round and how long he will last.

Even, Pacman was taking 2 minutes out of 3 minutes for every round that fight but in that 2 minutes Bradley didn't do anything to convince anyone he won that fight.

          Useless for a rematch because Bradley is a durable fighter but I'm sure Pacman's wife punches harder than him.

          Only reason for a rematch if you wanna see Bradley get another 5-10 million payday but other than that, the dude just don't have power to be an elite.

          Bradley makes Floyd look like a power puncher compare to him.

          You clearly are ignorant, if Bradley did not have power how is he undefeated? Why didn't Pacquiao simply walk through his punches. Why was Pacquiao's face more marked compared to Bradley?

          You can also tell Bradley's body shots were effecting Pacquiao because Pacquiao was breathing heavily in the later rounds.

              Bradley is a boxer which is why Pacquiao had so much trouble landing clean shots. The days of Pacquiao fighting 3 minutes a round are over. He's getting older.

                  bradley doesn't seem to really throw using his legs and hips...his jab is pathetic and his hooks are wide.
