Bradley CAN beat Mayweather!!

[rambov]

I stopped betting against floyd after Floyd vs Corrales.....sowwy

He's faster on his feet than Flloyd, has head movement that could make Floyd miss, and can get in on fighters taller than himself. He's also a versatile and adjustable fighter, which is a strength you cannot credit to any of Floyd's recent opponents.

Bradley has great footwork. But Floyd's feet have gears. He can leap a few feet, or he can pounce to the other side of the ring. Look at that 3rd round of the ghost fight. He fought Ghost like a light weight. It looked like the Genero Hernandez fight in terms of foot movement, and maybe even better if you look closely at how LIGHTfooted he was. He was barely even trying to move. And Floyd can FEEL when his opponents are going to move. With Bradley, he is just too small. Floyd wouldnt care about dodging his punches. He wouldnt let Bradley get close enough, and Bradley would throw punches but not be at arm's length. Thats where Floyd's size, and speed will become a major beyotch. He could just put his hand on his head, and Bradley could do nothing about it. Also, when Floyd got out of jail, he had gotten big, buff, and waay stronger. The Floyd who fought JMM would def not have the power to keep Ghost, and Canelo off. Floyd actually staggered Ghost, and cut his face. Ghost took some mean shots from Berto who is a big puncher. But now Floyd hits harder than Berto. With the accuracy to go along with it. Floyd WALKED Canelo down, and pushed him around the ring. With Bradley's size, and chin, I expect Floyd to really batter that dude and it wont even be fair. He's gonna beat his azz really bad, and possibly stop little bradley Im afraid.

I don't think he can "BEATING" Mayweather but I know he has the skills and the heart and determination to make it a very tough fight for Mayweather compared to ***in AMIR KHAN! And He would do a far better job against Mayweather than Canelo or Guerrero did

[Reloaded]

Yeah forget Khan thats a BS fight , lets have Bradley vs Mayweather at 147 next May .

[Da Boxer]

Simply Fugg NO!

The only reason he is there now was due to the gift decision by the judges over Pac. Then gets exposed over Provo's and gets a gift by the old as$ ref.

Floyd schools him.

Yes he can!!!! But forget seeing it because Mayweather only fights guys who have a big Fan base. This is a perfect excuse to NOT fight him!

[mathed]

Let's wait for Mathed to come in this thread and accuse Floyd of ducking Bradley

Floyd don't want none, he is just using the Top Rank-GBP fued as another roadblock. SMH......typical Floyd.

[FrankieClutch]

Idk. I think he will give Mayweather a helluva fight.. But at this point, I don't see ANYONE from 140-154 beating Mayweather. I'm usually the guy trying to make a case for anyone to at least give Money a good fight (which I genuinely think Bradley would do), but seriously, his style is amazingly hard to beat.

Floyd could fight Garcia and Bradley on the same night and hardly break a sweat.

Bradley is gifted in two areas that WILL give Mayweather trouble: activity and movement!

Mayweather is at his best when he can dissuade his opponent from throwing punches. It's typical for his opponents to throw 30 punches a round by the middle to late rounds. Simply put most fighters either get discouraged when they try to open up on him, or they hesitate looking for openings that never come.

Floyd is also gifted at moving around the ring away from trouble, keeping his opponents from sticking on him. We saw this in the Canelo fight where Floyd was always one step ahead of Canelo, sometimes too steps. Alvarez just didn't have the footworrk to follow up on Mayweather.

Tim Bradley can overcome both of these defects. His activity is constant and consistent; he out-threw Manny Pacquiao in their fight and Pacquiao is well-known for activity himself. Bradley mostly pot-shotted with his jab against Marquez but he also occasionally threw combinations of anywhere from three to seven punches when he felt he had an opening. In the past Bradley has been known to throw ten- or eleven-punch combinations.

Bradley is also a gifted mover, as he showed against Juan Manuel Marquez recently. His footwork is fantastic, just go back and watch the Peterson fight and you will see him strafe a skilled inside fighter from every angle. His head movement was superb, he didn't let Marquez land any clean counters against him.

Simply put these two attributes would give Mayweather problems in the ring. Floyd relies on controlling his fights in measured moments, but Bradley is the type of fighter who could ratchet up the pace at a moment's glance and swarm him with combos. Mayweather's counter-punches are sharp, but in Bradley he would be fighting an opponent who knows how to be elusive after he throws. His movement is still supreme, but Bradley is just as gifted in footwork.

Floyd would certainly be the favorite, but anyone who thinks Bradley has no chance should look at the styles matchup here. This would be a very competitive fight imo.

I agree and when that fight gets made I'm going to put my money where my mouth is... I tried betting all my friends before the Marquez fight, but nobody was willing to take it... Mind u I got Marquez and May in my top 5
