When Guerrero fights inside, he isn't a southpaw anymore. Being left handed is only advantage when they aren't used to the left hand coming from that angle. There is no difference between conventional or southpaw at close quarters.

Guerrero hasn't been in with a guy as versatile as Bradley. Bradley has the better jab, defense, and stamina.

Bradley's a more measured fighter than Aydin- I don't see Tim utilizing the Rocky Balboa-esque gameplan of eating punishment to get to the inside like Aydin did. And the straight left is going to get there if he tries it.

Bradley's going to have to bring more than a jab to the table to discourage Guerrero, and I believe he'll get massively frustrated going against a guy who's willing to give him more than a taste of his own medicine on the inside quarters.

I'm not saying this to dis Bradley, whose abilities I respect. Where Bradley does have a distinct advantage is that he's a more disciplined fighter. Guerrero can be too quick to abandon a gameplan and slug it out, where as Bradley has shown the composure to stick to the script. He also does have a conditioning edge.

The bigger issue is that even if Bradley executes, Guerrero can beat him at his own game. Tim doesn't pack the punch that Aydin and Berto did, and neither could discourage Guerrero. How's he going to outscore a more active, skilled fighter that he can't knock out?

It's ok, I forgive you.

I'm not interested in official results. I am myself making a pick based on what I see in the ring.

If Bradley and Pac rematched, I'd favour Pac based on what I saw last time round. As it is we're discussing Bradley v Rob and I've only ever seen Bradley look the inferior fighter once and that was against Pac.

Arum wins.

[Slothrop]

I lean toward Guerrero in a close scrap.

[masterorder19]

Bradley would win on head butts in this one..

[12gage]

Bradley can be pretty dirty. I think it would be a pretty rough fight with Bradley getting a couple of well placed " unintentional " head butts along the way. Otherwise, I think it would be a pretty good scrap.

Bradley hasn't fought a southpaw as comfortable fighting ugly inside while still being as good on the outside as Guerrero is. Let's not forget that, as comfortable as going to war is for Guerrero, he's actually more skilled on the outside when he controls range with his footwork and accuracy. He'll be doing so with a size and reach advantage, after having had a couple of grueling fights against full-fledged welterweights to adjust to the weight.

Not only is Bradley the naturally bigger man, he's also proved his class against better opposition than Guerrero.

I know, I know, styles make fights. But actual class of opponent has to be taken into consideration also. Guerrero has Berto, Aydin, Katsidis, Escobedo and Casamayor.

Bradley has Casamayor, Alexander, Abregu, Peterson, Holt, Witter, etc. He even made a fine account of himself against Pacquiao in a losing effort.
Bradley's got the ability to beat Guerrero IMO.

Yeah, and even then, he was doing good work at times.

Bradley's a level above Berto. Decision win after a tough battle.
