WTF are you guys talking about? pacquiao has been carefully matched against fighters he would have a definite advantage, i.e. oscar, david diaz, hatton. for one, bradley is young and in his prime with a solid chin. i doubt pacquiao would run roughshod over him like most people think. i also think bradley is a very underrated boxer who might expose some of pacquiao's shortcomings like a leaky defense. right now this fight for me is a tossup!

And if you think Bradley is as quick, or skilled as Manny, or has beaten Manny's level of opposition... you sir must be 10 yrs old.

I don't think Bradley has enough experience at this time to really know how to handle someone with Pacquiao's skillset (two-handed power, the punching angles Manny gets into, having the jab taken away by Manny possibly via head-movement and jab counters). Bradley also doesn't have enough power or a substantial reach advantage to make Pacquiao think twice before swarming.

I bet you were one of those who said "ODLH will rape Manny's Ass" before their fight.

Pac by decision

I actually think it would be a tough fight for pac.... bradley is strong, young, undefeated, talented and has a strong will to win. Theres no way i see Pac stopping him before the 8th, if at all. tough fight.... i gotta think that pac would find a way to win off his activity and speed, but some people here are going a bit overboard IMO

(fan of both, But I'd pick Hatton)

I went OG w/Hatton.
Big Bradley fan, But i'll ride with Ricky.... Why switch.

Pac by KO!

[WAYKURAT]

if bradley can avoid the left hand then he has a chance....

bradley would give pac a tougher fight than cotto will.

[punchdynamo]

I'm a Bradley fan and he would give Pac a tough fight but he hasn't faced anyone close to Pac's level of speed and activity yet.

That was before the Cotto fight, and they picked Cotto to win.


Same thing happened to Duran-Leonard 1 and the Duran-leonard 3.
