    “A lot of people think I'm the smaller guy, that I'm the little guy, this is what the public doesn't realize, when I was 16, I didn't fight at 118. I fought at 152 pounds when I was 16. I naturally walk around at 160, 165 pounds. . I'm a naturally bigger guy even though I fought at 140 and he fought at 147."

    “If you look at my muscle mass, his muscle mass, I'm the bigger guy. What Manny does have is bigger legs. His legs are ridiculous. Where he makes up for it is his leg, I make up for it with the top half of my body. I'm used to fighting guys 6-0, 5-10. So the whole power thing of me being the little guy, you can throw that out the window. That won't be the case during the fight.”

    Unfortunately for him power is generated from the legs, not from the top half of the body.

    First thing I thought of. Spindly legged ODLH got his axe kicked by the guy with the bigger legs. Look at the tale of the tape from Pavlik/Taylor 1.

    I think it is a mistake on several levels for TR not to have this fight at 140. Bradley will be bigger if he doesn't dehydrate to 140 for this fight. May is going to 154 for his next fight. Makes Pac two weight divisions smaller in the mind of the general public.

    I wasn't surprised Bradley didn't mention Pac's giant forehead...

    At first I thought you were calling him Timmie from South Park. Then I remembered his name is Tim. But their heads ... the same size proportionally.

    I love this fight, they are equal in size and height! Bradley is bigger from the waist up and Pac is bigger below the waist!

    Bradley actually weighs more than Pac. Fighting at 140 if anything would be to Pac's advantage, he can make that weight easier, he's just lazy. Recall that Pac weighed in 143 for a WW fight with JMM and 144 for a 150 fight with Margo. Bradley on the other hand weighed in bang on at 147 for Abregu.
