    Marquez is old, Ruslan is prime and Bradley fought him out of character
    piss drinker isn't knocking Bradley out here dude, have no fear
    Bradley may eat a good counter or 2, but he's too strong for JMM
    this is an easy fight for Bradley, just not one where he'll look good

      I also find it interesting that almost everyone who picks Marquez(who is not a Bradley fan)say's that Bradley will win due to Marquez age..Funny..Is this not the same Marquez who just KO'd Pac??Did he suddenly get old out of left rack??Come on now..If Bradley wins it's due to him having the better style,and being the better fighter that night..The same thing if Marquez wins,it's not because of the fight with Prov..It's because Marquez trained hard and was the better fighter on the night of the fight..Plan and simple..Stop with the build in excuses already..
      It will be very impressive if Bradley can beat Marquez, but if we're honest, Marquez has always looked amazing against Pacquaio - he's still an 'old' fighter. For me, his age is a factor in this fight considering Bradley in relentless and has huge stamina. Marquez may simply not be able to keep up.

      However, if Bradley has lost just 5% of his durability after the Provodnikov fight, Marquez has a big chance. As you said, I guess we'll find out. But it's interesting to reflect upon.

        Tim is fast, throws a lot and can counter effectively when he needs to. JMM has slowed down considerably but seems to have developed Earth shaking power, can he get to Bradley and hurt him? If can't I see Bradley dragging out a UD.
        I don't see how Marquez has slowed..Good thing about Marquez style,is it really does not require speed..His style is about timing(Marquez will train for speed in this fight to catch Bradley with fast counters)and anticipation of his opponents movements and bad habits..His style is a good one for an older fighter imo..I expect to see pretty much the same Marquez I've seen for yrs..I also think that he is more dangerous as an older fighter then when he was younger..He has perfected his style and is far more experienced,which for his style makes him far more dangerous..Bradley better know this,if not he'll be looking up at the lights..No doubt about it..

            Every fighter relies on speed, no matter what his style is. Speed of punch, speed of foot and speed of mind. We've seen fighters who lack in speed but have other great attributes perform badly. Broner recently is a prime example.

            JMM was always a fast counter boxer, he had great movement around the ring and his punches were fast. In that last Pac fight he was eating more shots than I've ever seen him take, he was plodding forward and was far more flat footed than ever before. A result of his extra muscle? Probably. A result of advanced age? Again, possibly.

            Bradley is younger, faster and is strong too. He will find the gaps and out box JMM. It's gona be a win for Bradley unless JMM brings that hulk power with him.

                Bradley might need to move back down. He's never looked that good at welterweight.

                  I see Bradley getting caught early and the ref stepping in. The funny thing is the same overhand right that Marquez dropped Pac with is the same one Ruslan caught Bradley with over and over.

                    Bradley's not some amazing boxer guys he takes a lot of leather just knows how to roll with the punches well. It's not like the rulsan or whatever his name his was his first fight where's he's took big punches.

                    He had a tough fight with holt, Peterson, PAC, Alexander, and now the Russian so I think he'll be fine. Unless Marquez catches him with something brutal

                      Right.. a 4 time world champion? He's a TWO time world champion winning 4 belts in his career.

                      And how exactly did he win his belts? From Junior Witter - the biggest fraud in boxing history - Then proceeded to run from Amir Khan citing: "what if I lose?" before robbing Pacquiao. Very impressive right? Wrong.

                      Then getting completely found out by Ruslan, only to get another gift.

                      On top of that he's got no power, and is less interesting than watching paint dry.
