    Anyone who thinks that Bradley is a slick fighter obviously misunderstand what slick means.
    Ask yourself, are Bradley and Mayweather's styles anything alike?
    If you classify Bradley as a slick fighter than Pac is also.

    Bradley is about as slick as Maidana.

    Bradley is a slick fighter. He's rarely ever hit clean. He's great at ducking and rolling and fighting with aggressive defense.

    The problem is, you're comparing him to Mayweather.

    There is only one Mayweather.

    Actually Bradley reminds me of a small and wilder version of Evander Holyfield, minus the accuracy and power.
    Holyfield was definitely Not Slick.

    But to be fair to Pacquiao, he is already 35 years old, and no longer in his prime.

    Bradley is not slick. Cory spinks for example was slick. Bradley brawls far too much to be slick. He's not defensively responsible bes not looking to counter.

    Yeah, I admit I was reaching, but like Holyfield, Bradley has a huge heart.

    That's not true.

    Bradley almost always punches when his opponent is punching.

    The problem is, Bradley doesn't have a lot of sting in his punches.

    Unlike Spinks, Bradley fights to win. He goes in there fighting with aggressive defense.

    Guys like Henry Armstrong, Jack Dempsey, and Roberto Duran used those styles often and great success with it.

    The difference between Bradley and those guys are that he lacks sting in his punches, so he can't really put guys away, and even though he punches when his opponent punches, which is a very dangerous style, his opponents don't really fear what's coming in return.

    Except Alexander of course.

    Bradley can also box in the back foot as he proved against Marquez, who didn't land anything of consequence.

    Bradley is short though with a short reach, so you can't expect him to always fight like Mayweather.

    But he does have good head movement and he's a hard target to hit flush.

    Look how often Pac missed him and Pac has ridiculous handspeed.

    You don't miss a guy with bad defense when you got handspeed like Pacquaio.

    Maidana would've knocked them both out.

    Ward is black. But yes Bradley is a good win for Pac he showed a lot of heart in that fight after Bradley took the fight to him.
