You know what, I am being stubborn because back in the day, I used the Peterson video to prove Bradley's versatility. I said he could box and he could fight. Admittedly, that was his best performance, but recently, in his last two outings, he's looked like pure **** on the back foot. Maybe that's because he was against a great fighter the first time, and took a 10 month layoff the second time, but someone needs to tell him that he seriously needs to work on his punching mechanics off the back foot. Until he improves that, he's needs to stay away from guys like Ruslan.
Against Pac, he was circling Manny out of range for his straight left...by the middle of the fight, Manny's power hand was negated. Bradley did great work with his feet in that fight. From rounds 3-11 against Prov, he was turning Prov consistently and busting him up. His jab was keeping range and he could pick shots. Aside from being badly hurt by Prov, he was fighting a great fight on the outside.
:rofl Feel free to bump the thread, you'll see that most of what I said was correct. I said Mayweather would walk to Cotto late (Under the assumption of 8oz gloves) and what happened to Cotto in the 12th? :huh Oh, and I've never said Cotto can't box. Claiming that a multiple weight world champion can't Box, is just moronic... (^^^ See what I did there?)
****ing *******, you know what he did to Peterson, the only guys he loses to to me are Pacquiao and Mayweather, he would embarrass Garcia, why do you think Rios took less to fight Alvarado, Rios seemed scared of the L
****, Mosley was running from Pacquaio too. Mosley isn't a good boxer. Look what Mayweather did to him. You put Mosley in front of a good boxer, it shows Mosley for what he really is. Just because you negate something doesn't mean you have an answer for it. It just means you can run away and not engage in a fight. Bradley wasn't walking Pacquaio into anything. All he did was flail some weak jabs at him. That's not boxing. Bradley was consistantly being cornered against Ruslan and when he did throw, he often left himself in position to be countered because he wasn't punching with any authority and he was standing in one place too much. Rusland isn't a hard guy to find. He has no defense. So, the fact that Bradley could land punches doesn't mean anything when he was leaving himself open to brutal counters that landed on multiple occasions. That's not boxing. That's scraping by on your teeth. Bradley won that fight on pure heart and determination. He absorbed a beating. Could you imagine Floyd taking that type of beating? And on top of his game Floyd would not only walk Ruslan in circles, he would pick him apart. Many would call it pot shotting, but eventually he would turn it into combinations, but he would be smart enough to land with authority when he did throw, and to move out of the way after he was finished. Bradley, merely flailed punches. That's not the same.
Bull****. Don't try to change your story. You said, "After watching the Ortiz fight, Mayweather's new style is to come foward. I'm a gay ******, so this is how Mayweather will fight Cotto. He will walk him down and punish him." Look at you tryin to ***** out like a straight *****.
Dude...you need to check the records and watch some fights, who the **** "walks through Bradley and gives him no respect"? This man is a two division world champion, is undefeated and has fought some of the best fighters on earth. I mean this isn't a ****ing prospect or up and comer, you don't have to speculate about what he's capable of, he's shown it, end of story.
The problem here is, people don't understand boxing on this site. If I had this conversation with Hopkins, he would agree with me. If I had this conversation with Floyd Sr., he would agree with me. But I got to tailor **** to my audience. These are the same people that think Mike Jones can box. You even got one guy, that is so ****in stupid that he thought Mayweather would go right at Cotto from the opening bell, walk him down, and knock him out.
Says the guy that thought Mayweather was gonna pressure Cotto from the onset and stop him. Man, people soon forget that this guy right here is a ****in ****** that's never boxed a day in his life.
