Comments Thread For: Garcia: Bradley Has a Shot To Beat Pacquiao For Real

[hectari]

Bradley makes sense since he's picked up a few fans around her with his win over Rios but I still think Pacquaio has his number. The year off has seriously declined Pacquaio further I still see a UD for Pacquiao. I just don't see Bradley out boxing Pacquaio.

Dude if you think Pacquiao can still win any top welterweight at this stage or young lion coming up who is bigger than him but fights a lower weight, you are tripping. Pac is 38 years old, he is not old by regular years but in boxing years he is old and for his style he is old, no explosive fighter has ever aged well, right now he is getting by on boxing ability, but all fighters have to do now is stick and move and avoid him since his legs are gone, they just have to counter punch him becuase he is no longer explosive, if they go at him he will merk them with counters so they wont play that game.

Pac will lose to Broner and Crawford at this stage, the Bradley fight is the only one that is 50 50 since both guys are equal in terms of damage, both are aging veterans and both been in wars so its a fair fight and a good send off fight for Pacquiao because its equal and credible since Bradley is coming off a huge ko win with a new trainer and has the wbo title, plus he only has one loss and that is to Manny but decision in a fight that was competitive. They have history as well, people can complain all they want but it wont matter the fight was never going to do big numbers, it will do much lower than Floyds 400k and below ppv against Berto.

Floyd couldnt even get any fans to watch his weigh in for his final fight, the backlash was real and few celebrities turned out and there were empty seats, imagine Pacquiaos last fight in Vegas? they might have to do the weigh in at the local taco bell or something the turn out will be even lower, and the fight might have to be fought at the local high school gym, the ppv might only do 50k buys.

If Floyds ppv was that low and he beat Manny, imagine how low Pacs ppv will be? Crawford fight only beneifits Arum and HBO, Manny should just fight Bradley and go out on his own terms instead of being used as a stepping stone.

BEFORE Marquez:

" Pac da best, he would KTFO Mayrunner and Marquez ".

AFTER Marquez:

" Marquez landed a lucky punch "

AFTER Algieri:

" Pac is da best, he got his fire back, he would KTFO Mayrunner "

AFTER Mayweather:

" Pac old doe "

No **** Garcia. Manny is getting older & Tim is still at an age where he's improving or in his peak + has been arguably refocused (idk that we can truly gauge that to be a fact off of a Rios W) with Atlas in his corner. So yea sure Tim probably has the best chance a third time vs Manny than the first two, but its still not a very good chance & no one wants to see Manny go out vs Tim like no one wanted to see Floyd go out vs Berto.

Bradley is sick of fighting Pacquiao. He prefers that Pac picks Crawford. Bradley wants Cotto.

[mathed]

Different mentality, different approach, different confidence. Better be careful....JMM did better in every fight with Pac, so has Bradley. Facing Tim a third time is not wise in my estimation.

[STREET CLEANER]

So I suppose "fans" were clamoring for

Mayweather/Berto
Mayweather/Guerrero
Berto/Ortiz
Broner/Maidana
Rios/Chaves
Pacquiao/Algieri
Algieri/Provodnikov
Rios/Alvarado 3
Cotto/Martinez
Wilder/Molina

I'm sorry, but you don't know sh...about boxing. It's about business.

Everyone claiming Crawford should get it - that's an emotional reaction. Crawford hasn't fought anybody worth noting yet. He's not a brand name, not until he beats someone (else) important. That fight makes nearly no money.

Everyone claiming Khan should get it, after watching Khan get schooled by Chris Algieri (the guy Manny literally walked through for 12 rounds) is delusional.

That leaves Bradley and MAYBE Broner. We all know if Broner gets that fight, it'll be Broner/Maidana all over again.

Bradley lost the second fight because he's clumsy. He nearly lost the first fight (on the books) because of that same clumsiness. I said many times that Joel "I'MA STOP IT!!" Diaz was holding the man back. Let's test that theory.

Bradley is the only one deserving and the only one who could sell tickets to that fight against Pacquiao. All they have to do is market off the controversial first, market how Bradley was schooling Manny for the first half of the second, and top it off with Atlas' firemen speech and him KO'ing Brandon Rios when even Manny couldn't. It sells itself.

I don't know shyt about boxing but you are making a lot of excuses for Bradley, a fighter a like a lot.

Your are one of those guys that stream it while the consumer like myself that actually pays for it demands a better matchup that would actually be interested in.

Garcia confusing Pac with Khan that's all.

You lost me the second you said Broner beats Pacquaio, same Broner that has clammed up when being swarmed by punches. Pacquaio may not have the legs but the I.Q. and the hand speed are still very much there. Crawford has not beaten anyone to indicate he could outsmart Pacquaio during a fight and Broner where do I begin to list the significant amount of flaws that would get him beaten on. I will say a fight between Pacquaio and Broner would be a glorious event of Broner eating straight lefts after being set up for it over and over again.

I don't know shyt about boxing

I'm glad we agree. To the larger point you don't understand the way boxing BUSINESS works, either.

It's not about who the fan favorite is. It's about who can sell Vegas. That's NOT Crawford and it's NOT Khan. Broner can't sell nothing after two losses and then facing a guy fresh off a loss.

Bradley can sell Vegas because he's fresh off of knocking out the guy who was NEVER KNOCKED OUT BEFORE and who MANNY COULD NOT HURT, where Manny is fresh off a loss to TBE. Bradley holds the belt Manny took back from him years ago. He's now a threat to Manny, pure and simple. The question is, will Manny retire as champion and lock the trilogy in the books, or will Bradley retire Manny in disgrace?

I fail to understand why that concept is difficult for you.
