Comments Thread For: Roach: Bradley Not Better Than In First Pacquiao Fight

[chardrnm]

As long as Manny still has that stamina to throw punches then he will win. Bradley will try to equalize with his punches. A battle of will I see here.

[SUBZER0ED]

Like usually Roach trying to psych himself up and talk crap, he does this all the time tries to downplay opponents thinking it will get in their head. Maybe he never realized Pac just got knocked out cold, and Bradley withstood Marquez best punches something that Pacman couldn't do.

Well Floyd Sr disagrees he says Pacman is the one who is the not the same.

Floyd Mayweather Sr. feels the Pacquiao-Bradley rematch will be different; says Manny not the same

Mayweather, SR is the father of Pacquiao's chief career rival. Of course he's not going to have much good to say about him, especially from an objective point of view! He never mentioned the beating that Bradley took from Provodnikov, did he? Bradley's speech was slurred for three months! The objective view is that both men have been affected by recent brutal fights. The one important difference between them is Bradley isn't a power-puncher, but Pacquiao is.

Just a few weeks ago, right here on BOXINGSCENE, Roach said he would rather Manny fight Provodnikov because Bradley was dangerous, and that Bradley had become a better boxer. Now Bradley is damaged goods. WTF???

Roach said Bradley is dangerous?? Link it!

Roach has been saying some crazy things the past few weeks whic hve made me wonder if his disease has affected his ability to think and communicate. That said, I think he is right about Bradley not being different.

Many posters feel Bradley has improved. IMO the Provodnikov and JMM fights didn't highlight any improvement. I thought he was better than both at this stage and thought he would win.

I think Manny will win by clear UD again. Maybe Bradley's ankle injury was more of a factor than I thought and a healthy Bradley may be able to win more rounds.

field marshall pitty pat does not have the power to keep pacquiao off him he must run he wll run like a coyote thats how he injured both feet in the first fight by running backwards

[uncle pauly]

Roach never said Bradley was dangerous. He said that Bradley represented a less attractive option for Pacquiao when choosing between JMM, Bradley or Provodnikov for a fight. Roach preferred Provodnikov for a more entertaining fight. One in which Pac wouldn't have to chase him.

That's what he meant. This remark came up in the 2 weeks following Pacs win over Rios.

I was wrong he didn't say "dangerous," but here's what he said about choosing between Marquez, Bradley and Provodnikov:

"I think it would be a good fight, but [Marquez] said no, and that makes me a little sad because we know that was the best fight out there for Manny. Personally, [between our two choices] I think a fight with Ruslan is better. Bradley would be difficult because he boxes well..." Freedie Roach 1/19/14
