    Bradley's been hit clean plenty. Check the Provodnikov fight.

    Bradley isn't slick. He isn't a classic black boxer a la Floyd, SRL. He doesn't move with the same rhythm. Very good win still though

    While Provo is tough and offers a tough style, I think Bradley really was off his game during that fight.

    He wasn't doing the things we're accustomed to see him doing.

    He was fighting with his balls.

    Floyd doesn't try to engage though.

    He doesn't have to. He typically has a reach advantage in his fights.

    That's not his style.

    Bradley has to fight with aggressive defense. That requires much more risk and balls.

    It also leaves more potential openings for his opponents.

    But some of the best guys in history used that type of defense.

    Henry Armstrong isn't know to have great defense, but if you watch his fights, you'll see him, duck, roll, and smother his opponents.

    You don't get to Armstrong's level without good defense.

    There is more than one way to be slick. Corey Spinks was a runner.

    He'd rather not get knocked out than win the fight.

    He got caught with one good shot from Holt, but other than that he took Holt's soul.

    Besides, Bradley was still green vs Holt.

    That was a developmental fight. Bradley has no power. He wouldn't be where he is today with his short stature without having good defense.

    Golden Boy Promotions Chief Executive Richard Schaefer, who said he returned from a spring-break vacation with his family Monday, said he doesn’t believe rival promoter Bob Arum truly wants to make a Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Manny Pacquiao bout for the fall.
    Pacquiao won a unanimous-decision victory over Timothy Bradley on Saturday to capture the World Boxing Organization welterweight belt, and Pacquiao promoter Arum urged Mayweather’s camp to join him at the negotiating table after Mayweather’s likely May 3 victory over Marcos Maidana.
    “He sure knows how to get something done: by telling people to boycott Floyd’s fight, calling it a terrible matchup,” Schaefer said. “Is that how you negotiate or create goodwill? It doesn’t make me want to say things that would leave hope for that fight, because I don’t believe he wants the fight. This is how you do things when you don’t want to get things done.

    Mayweather always has good cards like Matthysse vs Garcia, Mares vs Ponce, Canelo vs Mosley etc

    You see, Bradley is too white. He speaks properly therefore he is not really a "slick black fighter".


    I mean, there is no way Manny could beat a REAL slick black fighter.

    Never. He always has a good card. And a good fight.

    Mayweather-Cotto was a great fight.

    Mayweather-Canelo was a great event as a whole.

    He hasn't had a bad card ever in my opinion.
