Bradley proved Pac's power/workrate has been exaggerated through the years

Before you guys start swearing listen for a minute.

Bradley's chin didn't get stronger over night, and Pac's power didn't leave overnight. What you saw was what happens when a good puncher hits a man that comes in shape at a his proper weight. Yes there where big punches landed but you see how a young man takes them.


Bradley showed what a young guy with movement looks like against a guy throwing multiple punches. Did Pac punches look slower or did Bradley make them look slower. A little movement and Pacs 1000 punch hand slap is irrelevant


The two pounds that people say meant nothing to Cotto, 1 pound depending on who you ask, could be he difference between taking a well place punch or getting dropped.


I still give him all the credit for the Hatton KO, but after that you can look at the other guys who fought at their proper weight he didn't KO. Clottey, Marquez, and now add Bradley to the list.


I don't wanna hear that Pac lost power cause we all know that's the last to go. Just ask Bailey.


good day. By the way I had Pac winning at least 9 rounds so no bias here

 

i swear i saw bradley clinching for his dear life at least 3 times on 3 separate occasions in that fight.

 

not at all. pac didnt throw rapid fire combinations like he did 2 or 3 years ago. he usually combines tremendous speed with workrate. he didnt have that consistently against bradley. he's never been perceived as a one punch knockout puncher like tito trinidad.

 

Bradley has always had a solid enough chin. Sure he has been hurt before, but people react differently to different punches, from different people. (P.S 140lbs is Bradley's proper weight).

The two pounds meant nothing. Cotto himself has said this.

Who KO's Clottey? (nevermind KO, who hurts Clottey?) Who KO's Marquez? (he dropped him 4 times in 3 bouts, 3 in 1 round). Who KO's Bradley?

Pacquiao is not an out and out one punch KO artist, never has been. It's his great performances from the past that expect stoppages.

I have seen plenty of your posts. There is bias.

 

He couldn't land combinations on Bradley because Bradley is very elusive.

He moves his head. It's very difficult to land more than one solid punch on Bradley.

 

Your hatred for Pac is amazing. Go ****ing asked Cotto. Your boy couldn't even put him in his ass. Manny had him in ***** street.

 

This. One thing Pacquiao proved against Bradley is his power is still a fight changer. He is not as dynamic as he once was, but the power is definately still there

 

Bizarre. If anything, the fight just continued to demonstrate his mutant power. Every time Manny hit Bradley solid it looked like Bradley was rattled.

 

HATTON acted only while he was falling down already out. COTTO, MOSLEY, BARRERA, MORALES, MARQUEZ and the rest of the fighters he knocked down only acted right? Well.....it's either you're a TROLL or just plain STUPID. :hat

 

Not true at all. Pacquiao threw them, they weren't landing at will unlike Manny's past opposition at welter.

 

Pac can thump.

 

No.

Bradley is a non-stationary opponent – his feet, upperbody and head were always moving defensively – and he never allowed Pacquiao to remain in complete balance when throwing and landing his shots. A complete contrast to the Cotto, Marg, Hatton and Oscar fights – where he had the freedom to jump into preferred positions, plant his feet, unload viciously, and exhibit his power to full effect. His recent opponents – Mosley, JMM and Bradley – made a determined effort to not let him do that.

 

This.

He got a fighter like Bradley, who has fought a comeforward style his whole career, fight for most of the fight on the back foot cos he couldnt take the power.
Same with Mosley, same with Cotto.

Manny got power!

But this is the higest level now.

 

Agreed

 

Great post but that goes to shows you that Bob Arum and Freddie Roach hand picked fighters that catered to Pacquiao's strengths.
