Bradley's versatility is a good test for Pac

Bradley and Mayweather are nothing alike other than them both being athletic African Americans with bald heads.

While his boxing isn't anywhere near ATG or anything it's still pretty good, he outboxed Peterson who himself is pretty versatile

Manny has trouble with guys his own height, Marquez comes to mind obviously. there is a reason for this, When Manny has fought guys like DLH, Mosley and Margarito when he makes them miss it creates a bigger hole for Manny to explode with combinations.

when he makes a fighter like Marquez miss he isnt punching down, so the hand comes right back to the holster giving Manny much less time to counter with combinations.

Bradleys youth speed, work rate, and counter punching is going to shock Many I got him winning a UD over Pacquiao

The only puncher Bradley has fought is Holt who dropped him twice . Bradleys only chance is to fight like Sanchez, but I dont think he can.

Manny in around 4 - 6 onesided rounds.

Not arguing that he's not the best choice out of the few there are. But I just don't think he's anything similar to what they'd face against Mayweather, if that ever happens.

does his versatility make him the closest opponent specifically for practicing against floyd is what im sayin

Hmm....it would obviously be a competition between Marquez and Bradley. Bradley uses a low center of gravity more similar to Marquez, but Bradley times a lot of single shots and counters with an emphasis on speed more like the way Floyd does. Bradley can crowd and box linearly more similar to Floyd. I suppose the versatility is the area he has most similarities with Floyd. Not as good obviously, but it's there.

Bradley isnt JMM, but I did think Manny would stop JMM last time out , so im not sure.

But Bradley isnt a top 147 fighter, Im still not sure he is number 1 at 140.

it makes sense to say that I hear you, But I think Manny well I think he is about ripe for the pickings, just as Floyd let me say this 3 years ago Floyd would have stopped Cotto as Pac did his legs are gone to Age is a mother fucker.

Not to discredit Marquez, but I do believe Manny and Floyd both are on the decline

When I was thinking of alternatives to Bradley, Marquez also crossed my mind, but well we've seen that matchup so many times I figured to check up on some new blood

To answer the question Timmy is the closest fight emmanuel can use in attempt to prep for a potential Mayweather fight. Timmy, similar to Floyd, has a versatile right hand that can go up and down. We all know emmanuel's face is a magnet for right hands.

Expect Timmy to leave his mark by opening up a cut on emmanuel's scar tissue filled right eyebrow; he is one of the p4p best headbutters as of now.

Exactly. JMM has nothing left to prove IMO.
