    Timmy by close decision. He won't be dive bombing Juan-Ma like Pac was.

    If Timmy wins time for Marquez to retire.

    Father Time could always hit Marquez at this point. That said, if he's in condition, Bradley doesn't have much hope. His high volume arm punching is tailor-made for Marquez to counter hard as Marquez knows Bradley doesn't have much punching power to threaten him. Timothy will give his all but it won't be enough. JMM by late stoppage.

    Bradley will win by controversial close decision for the third consecutive time.

    Definitely Timothy because most people saw Pac winning against Bradley. JMM was always a tough fighter for Pacquiao, more respect then anything else.

    I think bradley wins. Im a big jmm fan and hope he pulls it off. But I see bradley throwing jabs and straights all night while back peddling.

    I'm voting JMM by decision.
    Tho I wouldn't put it past a TKO stoppage aswell.

    Bradley's admission of concussions will/might backfire on him & will be taken into consideration if he gets hurt in this fight. (A feeling)

    What an interesting fight this will be. 2 boxing pugilists with one guy close to his prime/in his prime and the other one still finding a way to look great at such an advanced age.

    It'll be most interesting to see how much both men have left in their tanks especially after their last fights. Bradley went into life and death mode with RUslan and took a lot of flush shots in that fight, it'll be interesting to see how he bounces back and if he reverts back into a more technical form rather than staying in the pocket and going for broke.

    As for Dinamita who's one of my favorite fighters of all time, he took a pretty bad beating in his last fight. I thought he beat Pacman everytime except their initial matchup (which I scored a draw,) but their 4th fight he took a pretty bad beating and I thought he was going to get stopped by the 7th or 8th round until he nailed Pacman with that stunning counterpunch to end the night.

    Eventually father time will catch up with JMM, he's been in way too many wars and it's just amazing to see how he's able to fight at such an elite level at this stage in his career. If both of them are at the top of their games and their previous fights haven't taken too much out of them, I'd have to call this a 50/50 fight. Bradley's high volume of punches vs JMM's sublime counterpunching abilities. If Bradley tries to stay in the pocket with JMM and go toe to toe, he could get knocked out.

    Bradley would win if Marquez wasn't on PEDs but it's obvious that he is

    So I think Roidquez wins a close SD. It's difficult to beat someone who is cheating father time.

    I think Bradley's chin is a big of a question mark now, he has either reverted mentally, physically, or both when it comes to his in-ring ability.

    Somethings different. Weight fluctuation Hatton style, and losing your concentration in there, consistently, over the course of a FNF level fighter is not a good sign.

    timmy doesn't fight like pac, or katsidis or diaz and he definitely won't fight like he did against provodnikov.

    this is a 50-50 fight...i'm leaning more on bradley with a decision.

    I believe Bradley's very quick combo punching will make it difficult for Marquez to load up on a huge counter ala Manny.
