    about 5th vs pacquiao, if pacquiao hadnt eased up on him(pacquiao was just that out of shape) he probabley would have made bradley quit

    it's easier to stay determined when you are doing damage back, but when you are getting your ass kicked and not landing much of anything back, it's a whole nother ball game

      Assuming Pacquiao isn't shot, obviously him. Bradley may make Mayweather miss more than usual, but he doesn't have anything offensively that would win him rounds, let alone the fight. Not to mention he's nowhere near the caliber of fighter Manny Pacquiao is.

        If I have to make a choice I'd say Tim. He has options in terms of how he fights. Manny has more speed, power, and beat him, but he can generally fight one way.

        I don't like Manny's style in with counterpunchers. He just drops his hands too much. Tim is slower, but he is better able to deal with floyd's movement and could box or slug effectively where needed.

          The Provodnikov fight is when Bradley faced the most adversity and he fought hard throughout with absolutely no quit in him, Pacquiao never had him discouraged and Bradley even came back to win the championship rounds.

          I don't think you take yourself serious to be honest.

            you could see it in bradley's face, kellerman also pointed it out i think

            he came out looking defeated, he picked himself up later on, but pacquiao easing off could also had helped him build himself back up

            and read what i said, it's easier when you are hitting the other guy too

              I would say Manny because he has the best shot to 1 punch KO him out of the two

                  yep, although im not sure about 1 punch ko lol, pacquiao can make his landed shots count

                  and he's smarter than bradley in the ring
                  bradley's best chances will come in the rounds where he 'boxes', in other words the rounds where next to nothing happens because he's just running around the place, maybe he wins it on simply being more active with his inneffectual output(air jabs)

                  be hard to go full 3 mins without floyd clocking him though

                    Bradley's a pretty good inside fighter, and that's absolutely how he'd fight Floyd. He would know he can't box outside. He may try in spurts, but not consistently. His plan would be to get inside. He's better at that than he is at boxing, anyway.

                      Pac does better. He actually has a chance at hurting Mayweather and is more accurate with his punches. He also throws better combos and has better footwork than Bradley. Bradley has nothing in his arsenal to trouble Floyd (besides his head) and he throws his punches way too wide for a counter puncher of Floyd's ability.
