Bradley signs with Top Rank, will fight Pacquiao in November . . .

At welter he has no chance IMO but hangs tough in a competitive fight

 

If Khan comes out saying Bradley is ducking him to fight the P4P 1 fighter in the world, he's more stupid than I thought!

 

I think Bradley has a few different thing he can do; we have seen that he isn't total **** whenfacing southpaws; against a come forward fighter, I imagine he could lead Pac onto his snappy right (he cannot hurt Pac though) but mainly it's his work in close quarters; rough, fast hands, mixes shots from head to body well.

I do think Pac could take him out at some point, Bradley, whilst quite cute, can be hit. But it's the resiliency he showed against Holt and the fact he can make the adjustment to mid-range/lateral movement, which makes me think he can cause Pac more problems than most.

It's all down to whether he can grit it out, and be varied enough to shut Pacman down for enough rounds. It's doubtful IMO.

Hopefully Bradley comes in closer to 140 than he did for the Abregu fight; the fact he's not fighting a big Welter is another hindrance you can remove, and he'll want to be as quick as possible in all areas here, that goes without saying!

With just a little bit more dig....;-)

Bradley appears to be tough, well-rounded (bar power) and works very hard. He will cause Pac problems IMO. Then again, Pac could catch and hurt him early like Holt did and pounce on him, even for a man with Timmys powers of recovery will find it hard to come through that.

Interesting fight. Doubt they will be able to call any shots, but the Bradley camp should push for a catchweight. Arum/Roach won't see it at 140, NPR do I doubt they'd want to come in heavy anyway, so hopefully Bradley does the same.

I expect Pac to win on points in a competitive fight, but there's only so long he can keep this run going :deal

 

bradley's got no chance against pac.

the pay will be better though.

thought he had 1 fight left with shaw still. :huh

 

I've been saying for the last 18 months that Bradley is the man to give Pacquiao problems. In addition to all the things you mention he has a hunger that none of Pacs post-Marquez opponents have.

It;s a fight I'm desperate to see, for all the fuss about bradley/Alexnder and Pac/Moseley this is the fight that has the potential to be a genuine war.

 

Agreed.

Bradley however, would do well to last the distance with Pac @ 140 IMO. This fight won't really be decided due to weight, but rather of levels. think it will be fierce and competitive for as long as Bradley can will himself through the onslaught he will (no doubt) take, and whether he can stave Pac off on the backfoot whilst actually doing enough to win rounds. I think regardless of the weight it's held at, the fight will pretty much play out the same, unless people are holding on to false hope that draining a few extra lbs to make 140 will do much to hinder Pac should he choose to fight either JMM or Bradley next.

He's not far off 140 at all, hardly a guy cutting to make 147. All three of these guys would pretty much come into the ring at their natural weight, and in a tear up I don't think any of these guys will find it much different no matter what weight it is at. Marquez is obviously the smallest of the three, despite my man love for him I'd doubt he'd do too well against either Pac or Bradley, Pac has become much stronger, and is not draining to make 130, Bradley is a tank at 140, his physicality is enough for guys bigger than JMM,

There is only one man who has a serious chance with Pac at 147, and that's Floyd.

 

Pac would give him a one sided beating.

 

Pac will crack his dome-shaped head!

 

Pac would destroy Bradley within 5 IMO.

There really is no one outside Mayweather that can cause Pac problems at 147 and below. Marquez would be his toughest opponent.

 

Its official that Bradley has ducked Khan to face Pacquaio.:yep

Risky from Arum. Already a stink after last weekend so shelling out 55 bucks for a fight that could finish early with Tim out cold or by an accident happening.

 

If he has signed with Top Rank then he isn't fighting Khan on HBO. He'll be fighting on Showtime who are now chummy with Top Rank. As Wlad vs Haye happens, Floyd vs Pac and Khan vs Bradley waits.

Khan should fight Judah now to unify 2 legit belts.

 

pac will smash him

 

On a side note; If Bradley is now with Top Rank, does this mean he will never fight Khan as Khan is GBP? Or is it just Pac who can't fight any GBP fighters?

 

seriously bradley loses but respect for taking the fight, i am sure he only took the fight to avoid khan
