    Just remembered that Ruslan fool weighed 150 only and he still bullied Bradley around like a red headed hoe. Just shows how overrated pac really was.

    Margarito would let Timmeh tire punching him before he came rallying back to stop him around the 9th

    Bradley fought the whole fight with no legs from getting hurt in the first round. Like I mentioned, if he comes into the Margo fight like he normally does and focused, he'll be fine. Bradley could have done what he was doing in the first 2 minutes all fight long

    the thing is, how many fights vs. top level fighters has Bradley fought his own gameplan for 12 rounds? He can get draagged into a slugfest, as we've seen many times. Not to mention, when you fight someone like Margarito, he's good at forcing his will onto others, and dragging them into a fight he likes. I don't think we've seen the discipline from Bradley yet to stay out of a dogfight when it gets rough.

    No one has really hit Bradley to the body yet. Prod did a few times and it visibly shook him. Margarito by TKO. Timmy has feather fists.

    He fought his gameplan against Holt, Abregu and Peterson...hell, he switched up against Peterson.

    Sure, but Margarito brings another thing to this fight. His size, length, durability, and volume. Would be a different style for Bradley. Not to say he cannot fight his fight, but odds are against him on that someone with a style he's not faced, or the size advantage Margarito would have over him. It takes a lot more energy to keep a biger guy off you then a smaller one.

    that is true to an extent. I think that people are looking at his last fight and assuming that's typical Bradley. Joel Diaz was threatening to stop the fight because he Timmy was so disobedient.
    I can envision him getting off his gameplan, but not the way he did vs Ruslan

    Well...can't completely disagree. I don't think TB fights as effective moving back. And Toney would be backing him all night. My 2 cents.

    The thing is Whitaker was special and those fighters were a bit over their prime weights and prime years as boxers. I can not see Bradley surviving that fight personally.

    Peterson got him with some pretty good body shots.

    Bradley's in shape though. In a fight where he was badly buzzed on multiple occasions, he threw like 1000 punches. He can fight 12 hard rounds. He's not Cotto, who will gas when under pressure and backs up in straight lines. He has great lateral movement and a good clinch game to slow Tony down.
