Does anyone here honestly think Pac can legitimately beat Bradley?

    Bradley's chin gets tried, and is found wanting.

    Bradley handily defeated Khan's Daddy Lamont, while Khan will be lucky to come out of the rematch with a W.

    Of course Pacquiao can beat him. He should beat him, considering he's the better fighter and is the bigger favourite.

    But will he? I don't think so. Bradley will cause a pretty big upset.

    Finally! A voice of reason here. We will be the (proud) minority here come the day after the fight.

    I'm expecting a clear win for Pac. Bradley isn't exactly a slick fighter. I think after the first two rounds Pac will start to overwhelm Bradley with his speed and workrate. Bradley is a strong and decent fighter, but he will start getting hit with shots he won't see, start going back and just be lost in there.

    I'll make no excuses if I'm wrong.

    You'll agree with me that people are severely underestimating Bradley. :good

    If he [Bradley] loses, it'll be a closely contested loss at the the very worst.

    Not a gambling man, but I can't comfortably place any odds on Bradley. Pac is far more experienced and Bradley has never been tested at this level. Furthermore, Tim wasn't terribly devastating at Junior welter and at 147, will likely have nothing to hurt Manny with. Could be a good fight, but the cards all fall in Pac's favor.

    This fight will restore the luster to Pac's invincibility like the hatton fight, but Bradley's head will leave the ring forever unusable when it bounces off the matt.

    My friend has recently flipflopped in saying Bradley will probably beat Pac, and he is ALWAYS wrong about that stuff. (Cotto will beat Pac, Oscar will beat Pac, Hatton will beat Pac, Clottey will beat Pac, Pac will beat Marqeuz, Mosley will beat Pac ... do you see a pattern?) So him saying Bradley will beat Pac makes me feel very secure in my decision to support Pac.

    At the worst, it could be a 2 round knock out. Those guys like Devon Alexander, Victor Ortiz, Lamont Peterson, Khan, Maidana, Berto ... they are poor overall judging points of talent because they all have GLARING errors and some very good points that make them inconsistent at the top level, so Bradley doing well against some of them does not mean as much as we like to say. Let's be honest if it weren't for Victor Ortiz, Maidana would be extremely lowly regarded. And that's Alexanders claim to being an "A" fighter now - beating Maidana.

    This is an unpredictable fight, no one has any idea what level pac will be at fight night, we all know bradley and his massive head will be decent though.
