    Why does Bradley's legs/ankles keep breaking on him against pac?

    After both fights, Bradley says he got a leg injury in them, which is crazy because he was wearing socks the second fight(lol). What does Pacquiao do that keeps messing with his legs?

    If Bradley truly did hurt his legs and ankles in both fights, then my guess is it's due to Pacquiaos own movement. He puts Bradley in awkward positions and Tim's footwork can't keep up with Pac's, it's like his body wants to go somewhere faster than his feet allow.

      Yep. He always ends up off balance and in weird positions. The amount of mass on his upper body compared to his lower body might be hurting him, too.

        Bradley has skinny legs, at least compared to Pacquiaos. Yesterday I was looking at that and thought if some gym meme where it showed some buff dude with skinny ass legs and the caption read something like "Friends don't let friends skip Leg Day".

          There's only one explanation: Pacquiao hits so hard that when he lands, it sends a shockwave down to Bradley's legs that destroys his ankles.

          Nah, seriously though. I think the awkwardness of Manny's attacks is what throws him off. When he's trying to avoid punches, he has to bend and lean in such weird ways in order to avoid the punches that it ends up throwing him off balance.

              Too much twisting and pivoting against a high volume puncher plus possible over training

                    Pretty much this.
