    Bradley would start off well using distance and the ring to stick and move, Margarito would be in front of him for the first couple rounds, getting hit then trying to open up but being a step behind Bradley.... as rounds 4 and 5 pass, we would see Margarito starting to up the tempo, up the pressure.... coming in faster and hammering Bradley to the body, Bradley would be able to take it well at first but the size difference and bradleys lack of raw talent (true speed, true power) would show to be a real weakness in this fight and to this opponent.

    As rounds 7, 8, 9 would unfold, it would see TB continuing to try and create distance on a completely rampaging Margarito at this point, with Bradley having nothing at all to keep Marg in check, hes finding it hard to keep the much larger man off of him, Margs pressure, size, strength and activity would begin to take its toll in these rounds, and it would be the last set of rounds that Bradley would be competetive in, as Margarito would own the championship rounds that see him pummel Bradley around the ring, Bradleys footwork, stamina and mental strength see him make the final bell but it would be a clear 8-4 win for Margarito.

    Margarito is too big, too strong, too active, along with being too good, for Bradley. He would close the distance on him and beat him up, with Bradley simply not having the physical talent to make up for his lack of size in this fight. His skills, bravery and determination see him winning 4 rounds in the first 10, but that would be about all he got.

    Bradley is one hell of a fighter, but he would be decisively beaten in this fight.

    Margarito would seriously, seriously hurt Bradley
    Bradley doesn't have the slickness, the ring IQ or the power to escape or intimidate Margo, Margo TKO10

    This post makes no sense at all :lol:

    Bradley is going to win a fight with Margarito in the same manner a guy who is 6'1 and is one of the only fighters that would be able to actually outdo margarito in the work department did by standing in and making his presence felt against Margarito and almost 'out-margarito'ing him?

    Williams beat Margarito (barely) for a reason, he had a great combination of size, presence, and activity.... not to mention he had good pop in both hands and good durability.

    Bradley vs Margarito would be nothing like the Williams fight, at all. There are no parallels to be drawn there. None lol.

    Also, the Williams from that timeframe would beat Bradley the majority of the time as well.

    Yep he would win in the same manner than Williams did by outworking him the first 6 rounds and then digging deep and winning the last 2 rounds, because of his discipline and stamina, compounded by his ability to outbox Margo and move around the ring. That is with the wraps.

    He was stronger than Manny, then he was able to outbox and outmanuever Manny with two broken feet.

    Bradley wins. Too many wrinkles and too mentally tough.

    Hif footwork is very good and he's always in tremendous shape. He won't do what Cotto did which is punch and move straight back. He'll circle like he did Pacquaio and be even more effective because Marg is slower and less mobile.

    Except Bradley didn't outbox ****.

    Fight was closer than what HBHoe had it, but Pacquiao clearly won that fight.

    Chavez-Whitaker was really a draw, same as Lewis-Holyfield 1.

    Scorecards? Can you make the case for Pacman beating JMM 116-112 then?

    As for this fight, I'll go for Tony late TKO with Bradley giving a good showing of himself
