Comments Thread For: Bradley-Pacquiao Rematch: Pre-Fight Report Card

I'm not gonna criticize his work cause he does it better than I can. Also, everyone has their own opinions. Sometimes we agree and sometimes we dont. However, I don't have any reason to believe he's being bias here. People just see things differently. Same way one chick might find you ugly but the other finds you sexy as hell.

Still, I don't see how Bradley can be B-. A B or B- to me would be someone like Floyd.

My point is that he shouldn't be basing this on his own preference or opinion, it should be as close to unbias reality as possible. He's a journalist writing a piece, not just a member of the website like you and me.

There's a massive difference.

Lol at bias. Huh? That dude is a moron. One of a select few to make my ignore list here. I just see things in a pretty wide range. You'll note my scale is really A to C. I don't do much D or F. I've seen Bradley Rock some sturdy guys but he's not a knockout guy almost ever. That's the B-.

I can see your point. Arguing between C+ or B- don't mean a ton.

I'm the moron? Really?

You rate a guy with a 37.5% KO ratio as a B- in power and I'm a moron?

.....


Then, you get disputed by everyone on here and still stick to your ****** bias opinion. I'm starting to think that you are too ignorant to even know what bias is or that you are being that way.

I assume you are rating power on a A, B, C or D scale. If that is the case, a 37.5% ratio would mathematically even be in the even C range. I would have even accepted that though Bradley has not knocked anyone out in title fights besides a career long 135 lb., shot and faded former champion.

You are clearly deluded and don't belong in any position to write anything like this. I'm not sure how you got any kind of job in media at all. It's a discredit to the profession.

Pac isn't sticking around Top Rank, he's going looking for Mayweather which means no money for Arum. Bradley is sticking around for the long haul. It's time for Pac to pack his bags and hit the road.

If this is the case, not a chance in hell Bob let's Pac walk away with his reputation intact to leave him in the cold for a Floyd showdown.

If Pac wins cold, he can make that option for himself. At 35, winning ain't getting easier.

You, along with several on this site tend to confuse popular opinion with facts. IMO, it would be extremely difficult, maybe impossible to reach the level of the sport Bradley has if you can't punch at all. Because there's not a matchmaker with any of these promotional companies that can match a guy perfectly enough to avoid any and everyone that would simply walk through your shots and steamroll you. And I think that's what the writer is attempting to articulate. If Bradley couldn't punch at all, Provo probably would have stopped him inside six rounds.

It's true people thing world champs who don't KO often are feather fisted...yet you see the back up or hesitate to throw against them. Bradley is a great example of this, he doesn't hit KO hard but he hits hard enough to keep you honest. Also realize at this point he's fighting top fighters, it's hard to KO them.

That's my thought.

IMO, four of the top 5 P4P fighters in the world (Floyd, Ward, Bradley, Rigo) are widely considered below average punchers. And more times than not, their opponents turn in career lows in punch output, especially with Floyd and Rigo. Sure, some of it is frustration of punching and missing. But they've also been hit with something in return that they didn't like too much. If they were so featherfisted, opponents would be more than willing to take two or three to land one and they'd be in more competitive fights.

who knows w/there judges...Trowbridge a Vegas clan guy...pernick w/his head up Valcarcel's butt or the 3rd guy, Metcalfe, from Canada, a WBC guy...wonder how he got thrown in...le's hope they pay attention...

I keep that in mind. He's fighting guys who don't get stopped. Tough comp brings down KO rates.
