Floyd vs Bradley

Floyd's accuracy has dropped a great deal recently. You can see that clearly in the Ortiz fight and it carried over in the Cotto fight.

Bradley is very hard to find and land on cleanly, similar in that regard to Floyd.

Whoever can dictate their pace will win the fight, but that is every fight. I think Bradley has the physical tools, Boxing IQ, and heart/will to outwork Floyd and win a SD or UD.

 

If mayweather is to contune at 147. The winner of the proposed Bradley/Berto fight. Would be a worthy chalange. lets assume it's Bradley.
Outside of Marquez who Mayweather easily beat, Bradley is the most skilled boxer at the weight. He also showed that in his win over Pacquiao he hits harder than his 40% stoppage rate shows. However beating Pacquiao dose not equal beating Mayweather. In a fight that I scored 7-5 for Pacquiao. It could have gone either way. It was basicaly bradley winning the first 2/3 of each round and Pacquiao the last 1/3 of the rounds. Yes I put more weight on the last minnuet of a round than the first two. In that fight no matter how you scored the rounds Bradley had Pacquiao right in front of him. I don't see Mayweather giving him that.

 

Oh here we go

 

Lol @ *****s dismissing this fight as a joke just because pac walked yhrough bradley. Floyd isnt pac.

Bradley has the style to make the fight very ugly and make floyd uncomfortable. Bradley has enough power to drop peterson and make alexander run all night.

 

Bradley outclassed Manny. LOL.

 

Bradley's a good fighter but the rather poor public response to the Pac fight and the controversy surrounding the decision doesn't make it a fight for Floyd to get his going rate.

 

Floyd would end up breaking his fists over Timboz dome

 

the same Floyd that can't fight this year? or early next year?

 

Wouldn't be a good fight for Floyd. If he has any ring rust at all he would lose to Bradley. It's as tough as the Pacquiao fight in terms of risk but without the money. Why would Floyd do it?

Also at what weight? At 147 it certainly favors Bradley.

 

He has the advantage of not having ring rust. Floyd under normal circumstances I would say could beat Bradley but not under these circumstances just getting out of prison. Honestly Cotto is an easier fight than Bradley for more money. Cotto is one dimensional, Bradley is not.

 

Bradley would be a tougher fight than Cotto at 147. It's overall circumstances. Bradley is undefeated, Bradley is not one dimensional and while he isn't necessarily spectacular at anything he's very good at everything and has no weaknesses.

Floyd is usually spectacular at everything but he's getting older. I don't think he has the footwork or stamina he used to have and without that he could lose.

 

The only advantage that Bradley would have over Floyd is lateral movement. But even then it wouldn't matter much since he would probably want to fight in the pocket with Floyd using little to no movement.

 

He's not good enough IMO to use that lateral movement against Floyd. Making Floyd lead and catching him overreaching is something I always thought fighters (like Cotto) should try more often, but Bradley doesn't have the size or the fluid timing to pull that off. His only chance would be to go forward, and Floyd beats him on the inside. If Floyd is mad rusty then maybe he can put a better showing than he did against Pac, but that might just end up making it easier for Floyd to tee off and land on Bradley with powershots in ways Manny couldn't. Plus, while Bradley definitely has a strong will, I think fans got the impression he doesn't have the urgency to lay it all on the line in an offensive onslaught to try and get the win. If Bradley got discouraged so early against Manny, I see a similar thing happening against Floyd when he takes away his jab and subsequently his entire offensive arsenal. And I like Bradley as a fighter for the most part, but the point boils down to this:

 

Bradley is an opponent that would make a fight a stinker, no matter how good the opponent is.
