What if Manny knocks out Tim Bradley?

I'd say Bradley is better and tougher than Cotto just based styles and who he beat. Cotto is good but Cotto has come up short and only really beat guys like Margarito and some Foreman guy.

 

He got knocked down but he wasn't really hurt. Pavlik got knocked down and was far more hurt. Even Froch got knocked down. Being knocked down isn't the same as being hurt.

No one has hurt Bradley.

 

Manny by KO is fully expected....it's why they chose Bradley and signed him with Top Rank in the first place....his style is one that is tailor made for Pac to look great against with a brutal KO. I'd be suprised if he doesn't KO Bradley within 6, Bradley doesn't have a great chin or great defense, he's agressive and featherfisted....Pacs gonna walk right through him and destroy him. Bet the house.

 

Ortiz is not the PERFECT Fighter...The reason he drew with lamont, is becuse he cant make adjustments, and he cant fight at jww, just like Bradley may not be able to fight at ww...we just dont know, because he hasnt accomplished anything at that weight, to warrant a fight with pac..Berto was not overhyped, he was undefeated, and he fought the best, but his last few fights before ortiz, were against bums...thats real, no need to argue/....when it comes to Floyd and Cotto, FLOYD took the risk and went up in weight....just like Bradley is taking a risk and going up in weight...but Bradley is not the top dog, Pac is...Pac is picking on a little weak guy...If Floyd fought Martinez, u would be able to say the same thing...HE's picking on a little guy, he's not taking the risk, Floyd is..but anyway, this is not about garcia, and martinez, and pavlik, blah blah blah...this is about pac fighting a junior ww, who has no expirience fighting tough, big, strong ww's, who doesnt know if he can take the punch of a top ten ww, because he hasnt fought any...again, I see this as Floyd vs Hatton...yea he's a good fighter, undefeated, but they cherrypicked him for a reason...if he cant take Holt's punches, then ur out of ur mind to think Pac wont KO Him in 3 rounds...dont get mad, accept it and move along!

 

Bradley is an aggressive body puncher and far smarter and technical than Hatton. Bradley is more like a Ward, Holyfield or Hopkins. They don't physically dominate their opponents they mentally and technically dominate them.

Pacquiao if he were to rush in thinking he can knock out Bradley he would be open and get countered all night. And it doesn't matter who you are or what your KO percentage is, body punches always hurt and punches you don't see always hurt, and they also score points.

 

And if Holt can hurt him as much as he did, what u think pac gonna do?..Thats why they cherrypicked him...Bradley will run the whole fight, "He was allot faster than I thought...the power...his power was unlike anything I have ever faced before"

 

Pacquiao wasn't just knocked down before but knocked out, and by a much lesser fighter than Bradley. Does that mean Bradley can KO Pacquiao?

 

Brad is a junior ww, like hatton...if he had fought the best ww before fighting Floyd, he never would have gotten that fight!

 

No cuz Brad has no power...thats why they picked him!

 

Holt in his prime can hurt anybody. Any champion in their prime can hurt anybody. Bradley got caught, so what?

Bernard Hopkins has been knocked down. Pacquiao has been knocked out. Just about every fighter even Holyfield got caught. The point is Bradley has remarkable recovery powers, the punch Holt landed on Bradley was way harder than the love tap Pacquiao landed on Hatton.

Compare the video and the sound of the punches and the placement, Holt hit Bradley with a punch which would have knocked most fighters including Pacquiao out at that weight and Bradley shook the punch off like it was a flash knock down and did not appear to be seriously hurt.

Pacquiao cannot expect to pull a Hatton and knock Bradley out with one punch. I doubt Pacquiao will even be able to do hurt Bradley and I think Bradley is actually bigger and with the better chin but you wouldn't know this because most people don't carefully watch the punches each fighter has taken in their careers and how they respond.

Bradley has one of the best chins and most importantly he keeps his chin down so he has great technique which he took from Hopkins who also keeps his chin down. Keeping the chin down results in punches hitting the top of the head rather than the chin and this is the reason Pacquiao wont be able to hurt Bradley.

 

I'll tell you this, If Pac knocks out Bradley it won't be Via Sucker Punch Combo! Pacquiao is a true Warrior... Full of Honor and courage!!

 

You don't beat Pacquiao with power, you beat Pacquiao with technique.

If Pacquiao goes for the KO early he's going to play right into Bradley's plans.

Bradley has an exceptional chin but he lets people think he has a weak chin. His chin is better than Pacquiao's so if they go blow for blow in a brawl Bradley is physically much tougher and better built but also younger.

Pacquiao has faster hands and more power but Bradley has better technique and more toughness. I'd also say Bradley has better stamina at this stage in their career and that could play a huge role.

 

When he hit bradley, he didnt just knock him down, he lifted him off his feet, KO'd him in midair for one split second, and dude dropped like a sack of potatoes...That tells me all I need to know, I dont think he can take Pac's power...IF he went to ww, fought some top ten's just to see how he can do at that class, then MAYBE...But he didnt...This is a decent matchup, but I think brad is being rushed into it too soon, and if he beats pac, thats pathetic on pac's part

 

pac can ko bradley but i doubt it. bradley will be a rough fight for him ala agapito. this will go the full 12 and it will be close. of course floyd will fight him whichever way he wins. pac can't even hurt jmm ffs.

 

Isn't it expected? Tim's a damn good fighter, but I think it's the most likely outcome.
