Comments Thread For: Naazim: If On His Game, Bradley Can Outbox Pacquiao

[Wicky]

Bradley loses 9 out of 10 times. He's a good boxer but you just can't make up for lacking power against and elite fighter.

[GRUSTLER]

Bradely can out box Pacquiao but he has to lose the respect for him and embrace the big stage.

Agreed 100%, he needs to believe he can doe. He really can outpoint Pac without any controversy but he has to believe and take charge. He already has the experience and the skill sets to do so.

I totally agree. Sent Tim an email the other day telling him as much....the only one holding him back is him. I told him the fire that he displayed in the Rios fight and the patience he displayed is what he needs to beat Pac but having Atlas or us fans believing in him is pointless if he doesn't believe in himself. I think he is going to shock the world in this fight.

"Tim Bradley can beat anybody in that weight class. On a good night Bradley can beat anybody in that weight class. I know for a fact that his father instilled a lot of things in him as an amateur. Tim Bradley can fight, he’s proven it and he finds a way to win"

I couldn't agree more.

Naazim Richardson is a legend in this business. People need to listen to him.

"Bradley is big enough, strong enough, and adept enough as an athlete to outbox Pacquiao, very much like he did in certain rounds in the first fight, but got tricked by the public. I was in the room with people at the Pacquiao-Bradley fight and people said, 'It was close, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a draw,' but after the commentators finished saying 'Pacquiao clearly won the fight.' If he clearly won the fight he would have won the fight"

People got to remember, Pacquiao was the A-Side in the first AND second fights. That two judges had him losing - AS THE A-SIDE - means he didn't do enough to win, period. Both judges scored against Manny because he basically cruised through rounds 6-12. It wasn't that Bradley was better, but that Manny was worse than him.

Then some judges won't hesitate to punish you if you're not active enough. CJ Ross punished Floyd for being largely inactive for half the fight - her words. While I felt Floyd so soundly outboxed Canelo that it overrode his inactivity.

You get Skip Bayless up there criticizing Floyd for being inactive against Manny, yet he thought Leonard (inactive) beat Hagler (aggressor).

People just don't understand boxing. It's simple: if Bradley nullifies Manny's offense like Floyd did, Bradley will retire Manny with a UD. But I seriously think he will go for a KO and likely get it just for brownie points.

(1st Manny-Bradley fight) Veteran trainer Naazim Richardson "saw it as a very close contest that could have easily been a draw." - See more at: http://www.boxingscene.com/naazim-if....SaAq1pBY.dpuf.

Conclusion: if this person thinks the first one was close, then his opinion about the possible outcome of the third is totally irrelevant. Only people biased against Pacquiao saw it as close. In reality it was a beat up and it was almost a miracle that Bradley wasn't knocked down in either that fight or the second.

[El Malo.]

This is such a pointless fight and nothing more than a cash grab for both fighters. If Pac wins it means nothing since he already beat him twice and if Bradley wins he won't get any credit. People are just going to say Pac was shot which may be true and that inactivity doesn't help him much. What a waste

He can, Manny is not that great of a boxer. Strong puncher, hella speed but technique and craftiness is meh.
