    The only reason you can consider Bradley is if pacquia has aged. How many times have we seen an aging fighter who can't pull the trigger. If Bradley uses extra movement it could be a problem for an old pacquia

    Very true. I noticed that whenever he got Rios in corners. And unlike Rios, Pac will make you pay for those defensive mistakes.

    Tim Bradley: "The theme of my last fight was firemen, the theme of this fight is 'the log in the ocean'"

    :think:think Any interpretations of what this Atlas masterplan could be?

    Pacquiao is not the monster he used to be 6 years ago. He has been on the slide, year on year.
    After being in so many wars, being knocked out in the worst way, taking punches from naturally bigger guys whilst having less power at welterweight, being an aggressive fighter who uses a lot of attributes that are lost with ring age, Pacquiao is only a HOF level fighter in terms of ability now rather than an ATG let alone one of the TBE's at the lower weight classes. This Pacquiao is semi-shot. Moreover, Manny's desire has been long diminished and now £100m richer after the Mayweather fight and thus does not have anymore financial struggles.
    Yet there is more, Manny has looked even slower in this training camp.

    Bradley's fundamentals have been sharpened, too. Bradley is a patient fighter, he showed that against Marquez. Bradley is not up against THE PACQUIAO but rather pacquiao.

    I'm expecting a very close fight which could go either way, depending on how good Pacquiao remains.

    And to those who are saying Pac-Bradley 1 was close, well let me use that same logic and say Pac beat Mayweather 7-5. The reason why I'm not saying that is because Mayweather didn't make it seem as though the shots landed, when they had, and Pac threw a higher proportion of shots that are not easy to see in real time.
    Pac throughout the Bradley fight was the clear ring general and was at least making it look like he was landing whilst not receiving many shots - much like Mayweather vs Pacquiao.

    The double standards and agenda are exposed. Whoever disagrees with me are too biased. I can remain impartial in judgement.

    The log in the ocean adapts to the movement of the ocean, always staying above water no matter what the ocean dishes out.

    Unless of course the log is swirled to shore, swallowed by a vortex or crushed against land.

    Bradley is at his very peak, whereas Pacman is well past his prime. Bradley should win this time, probably by UD.

    And if Pacquiao wins, I don't except anyone to give him credit.
