    You mean the same timing he had in the first two fights and nothing happened?

      I understand how a robbery shakes a fighter up, but Bradley should be focusing on how to better box and make rounds more clear, not on KOing opponents. He's never going to hit hard enough to stop most fighters.

        He probably looks at himself in the mirror and thinks he an absolute reckoning ball, and tbh thats what probably most people think when they see him.

        He just does not have it.

        Now Manny and Floyd are on their way out, no more chasing at 147. He should train his body down to 140 where he maybe able to have some (use that lightly) success knocking people out.

        Matthysse
        Provodnikov rematch
        Crawford

        All good fights for him and easy to be made. wouldn't mind seeing him fight Broner aswell....

          Increased punching power

          He will need to sit down a bit more on his punches, which can also increase the risk of being caught flush with a shot.

          I would like to see him rotate his hips more and pivot off is feet more, especially he is infighting! when he throws a punch, I want him to Punch through the target, sometimes just tap it, mix it up!

              I agree with what you're saying because I don't think fighters who lack power should ever move up. But look at what you're saying... Bradley walks around at like 170 some have reported...and you think he shouldn't move up on weight class...

              Floyd started at 130 moved up to 154

              Manny started at 105 moved up to 150...shiiit..now after telling Bradley to not even move up one weight class can you appreciate that Pacquiao accomplishment more P*ssy???

                It's a problem with his technique. He doesn't set his feet properly or punch through his hips, but tries to make his upper body do most of the work. That's always going to reduce your power no matter how strong you are.

                  I dont even know what you are trying to saying at the end, but i will call you a ****, for good measure.

                  Bradley is a fat ass between camps. Manny and Floyd keep their body in near fighting condition between camp. Both also have snap and power that they carried up

                  And the key to what i said was "Train his body down"

                    It's nothing like that, his lack of power is in his arms, they are disconnected. Being inaccurate doesn't help too.

                      Any fighter moving up to a weightclass where he's considerably shorter than everyone is doing himself a disservice. Although there are special talents that can overcome that, at the top level it's very unlikely though.

                      Bradley is already short at welterweight, last thing he needs to do is move up again and face even bigger obstacles. The idea of him moving up is nonsense, unless he plans to fight the Delvin Rodriguez's of the world.
