Floyd Mayweather vs. Tim Bradley.

[The Big Dunn]

Plenty of fighters worse than Marquez, Manny, and Alvarez won rounds against Mayweather.

Bradley was a chameleon, he fought plenty of different ways and was typically smart enough to recognize the best way to fight. People always said he was too limited to fight certain ways and then he would show up and do exactly that.

I don't think for a second that Bradley would beat Mayweather, but he would be able to make it uncomfortable and make Mayweather work. He'd outperform expectations. Bradley ALWAYS outperformed expectations.

Glad to see you still around. Hope you and your family are doing well during the pandemic.

Yes worse fighters have. And better fighters than Tim have won fewer than 3 rounds against Floyd.

I just can’t see him doing that. Tim always outperformed, he deserves credit for that.

Tim is a damn good boxer. You could argue his success is more due to the fact he has been the best pure boxer in the rung in almost every one of his fights than his grit or heart, which he has plenty of.

That wouldn’t be the case with Floyd. That, and the advantages in athleticism, reach, size, ring IQ and speed would imo make it very tough for Tim to win more than 1 or 2 rounds at best.

Lot of guys have made Floyd work, in particular Castillo, Shane, cotto, maidana, Jesus Chavez , odh. All were bigger than Floyd. Tim isn’t.

These silly guys think pacquiao and Marquez being competitive with Timmeh means Floyd wouldn’t have an easy time with him

Reality check neither Marquez or manny are close to being Floyd’s equal inside of the ring. Floyd beat both these guys easily. Both struggled with Timmeh the poor man’s version of Mayweather

This fight like a Lexus VS a Toyota

Timmeh gets maybe 1 round

Similar style but levels below without any physical advantage.

Exactly right. Small guys just don't do well vs Floyd. I could see Floyd even dropping Timmy depending on which versions of both guys show up.

I just don’t see how? Bradley was way too slow and didn’t have power. He was a solid fighter but was straight up and down no special effects. Struggled like mad with C level fighters like Chaves and Provodnikov. I’m not saying he wasn’t good but Marquez/Mosley and Cotto between them won 3/4 rounds against Floyd and those are 3 hall of famers. I think Bradley would’ve got shutout just like Marquez to be honest. Floyd was bigger, stronger, faster, smarter. Better in every way.

It’s easy work and this is why he went to Top Rank instead. He thought he could beat Pacquiao but had no confidence at all in being able to beat Floyd. He knew it. He was a solid B+ fighter to me. Had a good career but I never watched any of his fights and thought “wow this guy is something special”. He was just very good and no more than that. And that’s no disrespect he probably beats a lot of guys in his era, but Floyd was on a whole different level altogether. Tim isn’t ******. He was well aware of this. You never heard him once bring up Floyd’s name during his career for that reason. Like I said he could’ve got the fight but he chose to go another route. That tells you all you need to know. No interest.

He got into tough fights with those guys, because he embraces the grind it out, in fighting war type fights, as well as being slick. He's a slick in fighter, counter puncher, and could swarm you when needed, which is something that would give Floyd fits. Styles make fights, and I think Timmy's a very tough match up for Floyd, because he was willing to take a hit to engage you, and also had very good head movement on the inside, while swarming, and throwing punches at you.

And I don't ever recall Timmy having the chance to fight Floyd, or ever being offered that fight. Floyd knows Timmy would be a tough match up, and would rather face plodders, or non slick boxers with no head movement, and that he could pot shot all day. Timmy was a multi faceted fighter, and had many dimensions to his game, unlike many of Floyd's opponents.

You really underestimate how tough of a match up Timmy would be for Floyd. Hell, his only losses are to Pacquiao. His resume is stellar.

Bradley would get annihilated with speed. He also swings incredibly too wide for Floyds defense.

He wouldnt win a round. And I LOVE Bradley. Absolute dog.
