    Quick at what, hitting thin air, wasting movement by jumping forward or bouncing side to side, eating counters?

    Only Pacquiao hasn't been able to 'hit launch' recently.

    Khan does this too, wasteful air punches. Is this a Roach thing? They are also both quite poor on the inside, Khan more so. A lot of their short comings seem to be technical due to poor training/ coaching. Although this is more historic than just Freddie.

    I just wish Tim beats Manny, Then Miguel beats Floyd. So we can rid ourselves of these two prima donnas

    Manny's fluidity, speed, and ability to pull the trigger looks to be really on the decline even when taking into account the stylistic difficulties of his previous 2 encounters. Naturally from a lower weight class with a high intensity style father time will catch up with him. If he doesn't have the legs under him and the perpetual movement we last saw against margarito he will be in for a long night. It's not just his punching power but the ability to maintain this power while moving laterally producing angles.

    it's going to be a good fight... bradley will put up a better fight than most people think... i wouldn't be surprised if he pulled off the upset and won on points in a close fight.

    I see mind tricks. I just find it hard to believe that a guy that's never been stopped would question if he could take his power.

    Bad thing for bradley is we just saw pac badly outboxed and he still won the fight. Bradley doesn't have the power to hurt manny so the deck is stacked.

    i just hope that none af plan A,B or C includes headbutts....No i think bradley can hang in there,giving pac some good tough rounds,but when Pacquiao starts to land flush..then everything can be a different storie...After what shane said about Pac´s power,and the way Margarito,was destroyed.... i think pacquiao has crazy power,he is a REALLY tricky fighter...

    I think a lot of you will be shocked at how this fight plays out. Manny for the first time in a long time isn't fighting a weight drained zombie or a near 40 year old faded great coming off the worst ass whipp'n of his career.

    I still have questions about bradleys chin being that holt just about knocked him out. But I think that pac will have a hard time landing clean shots and may find himself chasing instead of some big punching bag standing there and letting him unload

    This is what Freddie Roach and his fighters can't do:

    We go into every fight with a Plan A, B and C. We have different plans for different scenarios. I will be ready and I will be able to adjust in the ring

    the combos that ripped margarito to shreds will punish young tim if he gets in the firing line.
    he needs to stay the **** away from them.....

    Why didn't those combos rip jmm? Tim is more like jmm then he is Margo the human punching bag.

    Sorry to say...but this will be a life and death fight for Pacquiao, in my opinion....even if he drops Bradley....HE WILL GET BACK UP....

    well, Bradley IS a topfighter,that could do really well,i just don´t think Bradley has the power to keep Pac away....Jmm has great power,LOTS OF experience and he is the only fighter so far,that has caused problems for pacquiao.
    But i also think Pac is not at his peak,like Bradley probably is right now...
    But again: Manny´s angles and combo´s are dangerous to ANY opponent..
    i think we will see one hell of a fight...
    But there are a couple of things that i belive will be in pac´s favor: i don´t think Bradley has power enough to keep pac,away.
    And i don´t think Bradley can prepare for the fightingstyle of pac...
    And i think pac has so much power,and speed that he would be able to hurt Bradley...
    i think pac just is a little to much for bradley...
    But time will tell how much Pacquiao has left in him...
    GREAT FIGHT!!!
