    Think I see Bradley's KO problem

    He's typically shorter than his opponent, and often comes in over the top. The punch lands on the side or top of the head, but rarely square on the chin. A temple shot or face shot can put a guy down too, but he'd probably have double the KOs if he would straighten out his punch so that he catches 'em on the chin. It's a height thing that he has to adjust.

    His punch technique is poor.

        Yeah... you can never KO someone by coming over the top and tagging the top of his head or his forehead. Just doesn't work.

          He is too muscular from his natural build plus heavy weight lifting. His punches lack snap and he just doesn't punch very hard. He hasn't knocked anybody down in years. His punching technique is ok but his punches don't have the speed needed for real power. Bradley can swim and hit the tire with the sledge hammer all day long but he will never be a big puncher. He is not punchless like Paulie and he has knocked some guys down usually with a punch that travels a long way. He is not a short sharp puncher like Pacquiao and he never will be.

            He is an arm-puncher who doesn't sit down on his shots and everything he throws is telegraphed.

            He has technique that can only be compared to that of a fly-swatter or a weak kneed girl throwing a slap.

              he punches the way he does cause that how he can land, bradley cant land up the middle without eating alot of leather, so he does side steps and swings wide while transitioning to the other side so to throw off his oppenent a bit, its sneaky but probably doesnt hurt much, bradley doesnt know how to throw a punch everything he throws are hail mary arm punches lol

                    I think fighters get more power at the sight of his dome and try to knock the glimmer off it.

                    It's like his dome gets shinier and shinier after every fight.
