Does anyone else think that Tim Bradley seems to be the favourite for this fight?

    Pacquiao no longer seems to favoured by boxing fans for this fight. A lot of people are saying that Tim Bradley will cause an upset, and looks like he is more the favourite than Pacquiao. Even the 24/7 series has focused more and more on Bradley than Pacquiao.

    Your opinions?

    I wouldn't say he was favourite. But the signs are there that Pac maybe there for the taking. He struggled in his last fight. He's had marital problems and has made some significant changes in his life. His priority my no longer be boxing his focus seems elsewhere. He has come in at a higher weight than normal. All signs that may not bode well for his performance.

    Should Pac lose it wouldn't be a complete shock to me but I still have Pac as the big favourite. Pac has the pedigree and experience though is clearly not as prepared or as focused as he could be for this fight. Question is will Bradley actually be good enough to take advantage. Pac even at only 80% is formidable.

    He struggled against JMM, who should be #3 in the world, at least. Why is everyone forgetting the fact that JMM is one badass mother****er and a past master of boxing who's had three fights to learn how to fight Manny? Everybody saying he 'struggled' against JMM. He's SUPPOSED to struggle with JMM. Everyone south of jr. middle will 'struggle' with JMM and personally I think JMM would stop Tim much like he did Katsidis.

    I like Bradley, but Pac is going to smash him up.

    bradley looks to tense. out of character.

    he's gonna walk into something big and get KO'd i think.

    Be a great war. I can't wait for this one.

    A lot of people are picking Bradley from what I've read and heard, but I'm thinking Pacquiao annihilates him. Bradley is really underwhelming in every aspect of boxing. He stands out at virtually nothing, despite being versatile and having the wherewithal to give his opponents different looks. I don't see him being able to command Pacquiao's respect with his looping punches and mediocre power. He'll taste the canvas at least once and will be forced to listen to "and still" at the end of the night if he's still conscious.

    its becuase pac didnt look special against marquez, mainly becuase JMM fought i smarter fight and didnt get caught up in so many brawls with pac.
    same as when bute was expected to beat froch
    its all hype and hot air.

    I would say many seems to give better chance to score a victory because pac struggled against jmm. In this fight, I expect pac to get convincing stoppage.

    IMO Bradley is going to out Stamina Pac and pic up the important later rounds.

    I just dont think Pac is the fighter he once was. If this was a few years ago i would be my house on Pac, but seasons change.

    I am picking, and bet on Bradley to win as soon as the fight was signed.
