Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley II: who will win?

It's completely dependent on two things; what does Pacquiao have left, and will he enter this fight with any motivation?
I would hope a chance for revenge facing the fighter he was robbed against would take care of the motivation. So we're left to wonder what Pac has left.

Exactly.
Exactly. Don't you just HATE bogus fanboys on this site? The reason WHY Manny beats Marquez every time is that, he outpunches and outlands him. Marquez simply isn't busy enough because he is this "cute" counter puncher who tries to be perfect all the time. Manny is the busier fighter. PERIOD. In the 4th fight, the only mistake Manny made was not testing Roidquez. We all know that he has never been stronger than Manny, then all of a sudden, he has one punch power? WHY did he even hire AH? Only REAL boxing purists know why Manny lost that fight. How did dude even take all of those hard shots to get to the 5th round? Hmmmmmm.........

It doesn't change that Bradley will have beaten a top 10 p4per and one of the best fighters in the sport if we acknowledge that Pacquiao will probably have to be worse this time for Bradley to win.

Originally posted by IMDAZED View Post"Very inaccurate" is overstating it. He isn't James Toney but I wouldn't use that phrase. I'd describe him as a "busy" fighter if anything and he likes to hide hard shots in between those occasionally-wild flurries. I also wouldn't say that he has no power. He hits hard enough.
I think you're focusing a little too hard on his negatives and overlooking the good. Bradley is a well-conditioned, experienced champion just hitting his prime. He has excellent footwork, fast hands and most important, shows the ability to adjust. That was a very intelligent fight he fought against Marquez, outboxing him is no easy task. The plan will be to do the same to Manny and he is capable. And his inside game is also underrated.
This is an excellent matchup at the right time. It's hard to say what it'll mean legacy-wise until everything unfolds but it appears to have major implications. If Manny pulls out one last great performance that would be a huge boon and fitting finale to a storied career. It wouldn't shock me to see him rise from the ashes but I think the smart money is on the younger, hungrier fighter winning far more decisively this time.
