    Is it just me or is anyone else thinking Pac has his hands full with Bradley.

    Now i am not saying that i think Pac is going to lose, i just feel Bradley is going to cause him a lot of trouble and have quite a decent connection rate.

    Power aside i have been watching Bradley fights today and the short, but quick chopping punches he throws could cause Manny problems early on. Manny is not the hardest to hit and that combined with Bradleys pretty good hand speed is going to cause him problems. I cant remember the last time Manny had to deal with hand speed like this.

    I am really interested for this fight. I still think Manny will do it and that his power will be the defining factor, but i cant see him looking good or dominating Bradley. Also Bradley is actually pretty hard to hit clean because of his head movement after and during throwing a punch.

    This could be a war and i just cant see it going how everyone else seems to think it will.

    Thoughts???

    I really believe Bradley can take a punch.

    This will indeed take quite a while. A stoppage by Manny by 11th or 12th.

    I dont think it will go the distance, Bradley can tie him up a bit and land a few counters but he wont be able to keep him away or hurt him, Pacmans just guna walk through him.

    I predict a stoppage but if it does go the distance there will be alot of Bradley running and covering up. So no i cant see it being a HARD fight for Pacquiao. Hes a good boxer theres no 2 ways about it but for me i think this is suited more for Pacman than people are realising. In my opinion ofcourse.

    Thats fair enough.

    Its just IMO Manny is way on the decline, and Bradley cant be taken lightly as hes unbeaten. Sure hes never been tested on the "elite level" but that means we dont know how good he is.

    Plus i think Bradley has a chin to take the punches, will come in great condition and if he can get PAc on the back foot he can really pressure PAc into fighting in a way that he is not used too.

    Guess we will just have to see but i just dont think its going to be Easy for Pac.

    12 hard rounds then a gift decision, unless Bradley knocks him out there's no way Pac can lose

    I think Bradley will give him a tough fight and will manage to keep the intensity of the fight somewhat down

    Think it will be like the Pac/Cotto fight. Bradley will be competitive for the first five or six rounds then Pac will take over and win a wide decision.

    Just don't think Bradley has the power or the skills that JMM has to keep Pac off of him.

    When you say "gift" You think Bradley will do enough to win the fight and get robbed?

    Yeah i guess he would need to do twice as much as Pac to win by jusdges. And there is no way Bradley wins via KO or TKO.

    I dont hope it will go down like the last one, im really unsure here I feel pac could maybe stop him or it will be a very hard close fight.

    It depends on what Bradley brings; it could very well be a tough fight. He's skilled enough to make it one.

    Bradley does have a good beard, Pac stops his opponents by accumulation, Bradley has good defense and is very hard to hit cleanly ask Alexander, Tim is fast and likes to fight inside, expect Tim to feel Pac out early on and then take it inside, his plan should be to smother Manny and work the body, I for one see a very competitive fight ahead and give Bradley a 50/50 chance to beat Pac...

    Tim is severely underrated, I've never seen him in a close fight he's young, fast, conditioned and undefeated
