      It is HIGHLY unlikely that Bradley knocks Pacquiao out. The last time Bradley stopped an opponent was an old Joel Casamayor. Prior to that, his last stoppage was April 13, 2007, which is one day short of 7 years prior to his rematch with Pacquiao. If Rios' punches couldn't put Pacquiao down, I don't think Bradley's will.

        Doesn't matter whether he can KO Pacquiao or not. What matters is he's got balls, doe. Unlike the guy they call da best.

          Although it truly is highly unlikely that Bradley KO's Pac, I think some of you are looking at it wrong. If Pacquiao is aggressive and Bradley is up to the task, you may see a tired, aging Pacquiao seeking rest against an opponent starved for redemption. Sounds like a fairy tale but in this matchup I sense the strong possibility for an epic ending either way.

            The last time Pacquiao talked about being aggressive, he fought much more tactically. That was the 4th Marquez fight. It was only when he got overeager for a knockout the he fell into old habits which Marquez used to KO him. We may see a more aggressive Pacquiao this time, but I think Pacquiao will also use more ring intelligence this time. He may even finally learn to cut off the ring. He appears to be working on that in training camp.

              I'm not sure I agree. I don't know when he fell into old habits because the habits have never left so I wouldn't call them old. He is who he is. And lest we forget, he got put on his back by a clean, overhand right midway through the third. He ate a pretty big right in the fifth as well. And of course, the KO.

              These are mistakes Pacquiao has made throughout his career. He's been great enough to overcome them most of the time. But they've always existed and they will exist again on April 12th.

                Not much to say except no. Bradley isn't a power puncher at all.

                  If bradley's aloud to bring a bat with him in the ring ! Bradley will win by out-boxing Pac in a much better fight this time around.

                    i've never seen a ko like the one manny was a part of the 20 years i've watched boxing. a guy with a granite chin taking the hardest shots from cotto, margarito, de la hoya without a flinch. hmmm.

                    and now pacquiao has a chance to get ko'ed by the likes of bradley who has last since ko'ed who, nasser athumani w/ 8 k/o?

                      Not all KO's are of the one-punch variety.
