    Funny how everyone saying otherwise'a favorite boxer is Bradley.
    What are you talking about? Bradley is very hard to land cleanly on. I think you are perhaps putting too much emphasis on the Provo fight. He adjusted and fought very well against JMM. Bradley's major flaw is that he has zero power.

    Besides, whose favorite boxer is Bradley besides his wife and trainer?

      Pac just has the type of speed to catch someone before they move their head, it;s that simple.

      But for the most part, when Bradley is boxing... he comes from all different types of angles using head movement and lateral movement.

      I can find a part in every single fighters career where they were stationary with no head movement and one point or another. The fact is, Bradley utilizes more head movement than most fighters out there.
      Pac hardly landed on Bradley..Bradley face was as smooth as a baby's bottom at fights end..

        Maybe I am putting too much emphasis on the Provo fight.

        But I don't see the type of head movement the likes of a Pacman gives.

        I just think against the elite competition, he's easy to hit.

        Marquez (slow) was even tagging him. So I can't see how he's a great contender for a Mayweather fight.

        I see him eating punches all night.

        I'm not saying he's not an elite level fighter.

          He's a combo puncher, tremendous heart and chin.

          When he exchanges he's stationary with his chin up. That's how Provodnikov and Pacquiao were able to rock him on several occassions.

          He hasn't faired well against good boxers, he's struggled.

          I don't give a s.hit if he keeps winning, but to say stuff like he's a great contender for a Mayweather fight is not realistic.

          He's got a huge bulls-eye stationary head and would be eating pot-shots the entire fight.

          Just ask Pac, he landed the straight left AT WILL.

          And don't even bring up slow as molasses PEDerson, that guy is a slow as molasses (hit and miss) pressure guy.

            Well if he is an elite fighter and the 2nd best in the division him and Floyd should be getting it on. A definitive win over Pac will say a lot.

              Bradley has very good head movement.

              Pacquaio beat him but that fight, I seen Bradley slipping, rolling with a lot of shots. In fact Pac missed a hell of a lot in that fight but because of the crowd and the commentary it conned people into believing that Pac was landing at will.

              Here @ 2.35


              The Provodnikov fight is overused I think there was only 2-3 rounds Provo even really landed in

                He pretty clearly moves his head.

                I'm one of the people who considers his head movement (amongst other things) overrated but let's not be silly now. He moves his head and slips punches.

                He's pretty much always moving his head. Sometimes even aimlessly.

                    Bradley despite his lack of size and wide sloppiness from the outside when he throws ends up not getting caught because his head ends up in odd spots (including in your face). He looks so open but he has a rhythm all his own and guys can't seem to pin that down to really get at his chin which often seems to be out in the open.

                    He has only been caught big a couple times for as much as he seems wide open, so he has to be doing something it might not be proper but it has been effective thus far.

                      C'mon Rome, that's almost as dumb as saying Tim has no head movement.
