    While it would be great for boxing if Bradley won (since he'll fight on and Manny won't), beating up Brandon Rios isn't a proper barometer for measuring if Atlas' coaching was a huge improvement. In any case, I expect Pacquiao-Bradley III to be a replay of the second fight unless Pacquiao has suddenly gotten old.

    On the other hand, Bradley now has a blueprint that he can use, which could end up being huge if he can emulate enough of what Mayweather did to Pacquiao. Mayweather also had an interview where he broke down Manny's style, and how he detected the trap Manny uses to land his left hands. If Bradley uses these tools, the matchup could become pretty interesting.

        pac has slipped since the first fight so I don't think it would be that surprising if bradley beat him

              I think Bradley can beat Manny. It's not a massive stretch. Manny will always beat Bradley in the pocket, no one can live with him at that distance even now. But Manny's activity isn't what it was 7/8 years ago and pumping the jab alone Bradley can take a lot of rounds. With Bob now interested in seeing Tim win again there's definitely a chance the judges will be generous.

              A question over Bradley is whether his own conditioning is what it was. He has got drawn into trading a lot more over the past few years so maybe his legs aren't that strong at 147 anymore. If he gets drawn into extended trades with Manny he could get stopped. Manny will hit him and hurt him bad in long exchanges.

                How are people even picking Bradley? He tried outboxing Pacquiao and lost. He tried out brawling Pacquiao and lost. The only way Bradley wins is if Pacquiao is badly damaged from the injury and age has caught up with him to a great extent....or Bradley brings a bazooka to the ring.

                    Very true.Plus alot of people think Pac is washed up because of the Floyd fight. Floyd makes alot of people look bad. Like i said Rios was shot badly and made Bradley look really good. Bradley doesn't have those same physical advantages over Pac except age.
