Bradley has a chance to beat Pacquiao

I dont mind it man, think it would be a good fight, I expect it to either happen late 2012 or early 2013.

 

Looks like we shall agree to disagree

 

Not sure what he sees, but Larry Merchant stated that he believed Bradley's style would pose problems for Pac. He said this late 2009 too, when Pac hadn't shown subtle signs of decline. For me it's a hard fight to imagine, as I've only seen Bradley fight 3 times.

 

Bradley has a pretty good 140 record beating most of who was out there whilst he has been active in Witter, Alexander, Peterson, Vasquez and Holt. Abregu was a solid opponent for his first foray into the 147 league and Casamayor was just a name to come back from a longer than expected break.

He got a bit of flak for not making the Khan fight happen which is fair enough but at 140 he probably has the best current record.

Theres still good fights for him at the weight in Khan, Maidana, Matthysee and also Guerrero and Marquez if he moves up but you can't really blame the guy for looking for a big payday against Pacquaio.

Can he beat him though. I would say no, you can't write him off completely but I think he isn't technical, fast or experienced enough yet to beat the P4P joint no1. I'd prefer him to beat 2-3 of those guys mentioned above before he took on the task but if the payday comes he will take it.

 

I actually think Bradley would be Pacquiao's most legit opponent since moving to WW with the exception of Marquez.

 

No defense really. His defense is better than a lot of people in the division. I tell you what. Go to youtube and watch him in action. You are either a hater of Bradley or you've only seen the Holt fight.

 

Witter, Holt, Nate Campbell(Nate quit), Peterson (who beat Khan, remember Khan-PBF hype?) and Alexander. Pretty decent to me. And oh, hes a young upcoming hungry lion and slick and black and not coming off a loss, infact undefeated...hes not bad.

 

Timmy has become underrated...He's a damn good fighter. Hope he gets his shot.

 

I like Bradley a lot. Really versatile fighter and has shown me nothing to think he's not tough as nails. He can give anybody a good fight from 140-147, Pacquiao included. I think he'd lose though.

 

I never said it wouldn't be. in fact, I think it would be a great fight. But Arum doesn't want this fight either. If the FMJ fight was not going to happen in May (and we all knew it wasn't)...Arum went Pacquiao with four fighters in mind for Late May or Early June: Cotto, JMM, Peterson and Bradley. If Cotto say NO and ****-Off to 147lbs, JMM decides that he doesn't want to be charged with "accessory to robbery", and Peterson elects to fight the ordered rematch. That leaves an UNDEFEATED BELT-HOLDER who has been asking for Pacquiao for 18 months. My questions is...Why is Bradley the "LAST OPTION? He's the only one of the 4 options who WANTS TO FIGHT PACQUIAO and would be willing to do it at 140lbs or 147lbs.

Again...It will never happen. Especially prior to a FMJ fight.

 

OP DKSAB.

Bradley has one of the better resumes in boxing period. He took Peterson's and Alexander's O. He beat Witter, Holt and Casa. He was well on his way to whooping Campbell. He's a guy who has the heart of a warrior and can fight smart when need be. He is undefeated and it will take a very good fighter to beat him. Pac will obviously be heavily favored but Tim ain't no pushover for ANYONE at 140.

 

Bradley stands a very slim chance vs Pac on workrate if he can take Pacs power but Holt had him reeling I'm guessing Pacs at least that poweful....not to mention Pac will force Timmy up to 147 where Tim will not be as comfortable as Pac... he'll most likely get steamrolled. He's not a mover, he's a pressure guy. Pac kills pressure fighters especially if, like Timmy, they have no pop in their punches. He'll have no respect for Bradley. The one thing Bradley has going for him though is his will to win, he's a warrior and has great stamina so if he can take some of Pacs big shots (doubt it) he stands a good chance.

 

ya,, a snow balls chance in hell.,

 

I think it will be a good fight, but Pac will most likely TKO Bradley late. As already been mentioned, Bradley doesn't really have the power to get Pac's respect and Pac will be all over that ass (figuratively) in the ring.
