Bradley, the greatest or simply the best

Timothy desert Storm Bradley has achieved something great yesterday, he did what no other active titlist could beat both pacquiao and Marquez, not even floyd mayweather did it, he still has yet to face pacquiao, and he beat both guys when they were coming off big wins. It is clear Bradley is head and shoulders above the rest of the division and is a true elite boxer, in addition to beating a hard punching up and comer provodnikov and other tough boxers like holt, alexander, petterson, abregu (3 of whom were undefeated when he beat them).

Detractors will say but but he lost to pacquiao, I rewatch that fight, Bradley won it, not by a huge margin, but he won that fight.

Bradley has beaten more active elite fighters than anyone else around today. While Floyd beats up unproven tomato mexiCANS like guerrero and alvarez or washed up old guys like Mosley. Bradley is taking tough fights against the top boxers around today. I don't really think there is any established top boxers left for bradley to beat up under 160 except Floyd.

I already know floyd won't fight bradley because he'll have 100 excuses and he wan't to keep fighting guys who have no chance like the mexiCAN or maybe amir khan or some other guy who can't beat him. He won't even fight pacman after bradley and marquez beat him up. Its just doesn't make sense to duck a very skilled fighter who ducks a his top challenger above a very skilled fighter who fught and beat that challenger.

Bradley is the best under 160 today period, no one else around has beat pacman and marquez.

 

Bradley beat pacman 8-4. Boxing judge
-ring generalship = bradley
-effective agression = bradley
-defense = bradley
-offense = pacman, landed more punches

Bradley won that fight. Pacman's aggression was not effective he was coming forward and throwing way more and landing more but he was also missing a huge percent of them. Therefore pacman's aggression was less effective than Bradley he just landed the bigger and better shots in 8 or so of the rounds. Sometimes 1 guy throws a clean punch that erases the entire round for the other fighter and bradley did it. Hence despite landing less, bradley;s aggresion was more effective. Bradley danced pacman for the whole fight, even pac said his performance was not so good because bradley kept running. Where I come from dancing or "runnin" is called defense. And when it frustrates the opponent its called effective defense. Bradley was dancing and picking the spots to pop pacman and that is called ring generalship. If Bradley's name was muhammad ali then everyone would be saying how he outdanced pacman for 12 rounds.

Bradley danced pacman, ducked under his punches went tit for tat, pacman never really got the better of him. That jujt how stick and move boxers fight. Pacman had his biggest shot usually block, partially blocked or rolled off by bradley, he struggled to hit bradley clean, bradley was clownin him in several rounds.

I recall distinctly around the end of the 3rd round and the end of the 4th round. In the 3rd, pacman was getting punked and bradley was fighting with his hands down and pacman was chasing him around missing everything. I recall around30 seconds near the end pacman missed almost 20 punches in A ROW! And lots of time he'd get hit CLEANLY when he was backing out. Pacman had 4 good winning rounds but he had tons of missing and glacing blows that were being rolled, slipped, slided, or otherwise prevented from being landed cleanly by movement from bradley.

I recall in round 7, pacman would throw what would seem like 10 punches just to land one clean. The compubox is saying he landed 30% but when I watch the round its clear they are counting a tap on the shoulder or an ineffective punch as a punch even if it is rolled of by bradley. Bradley wasn't landing hundreds of punches in return, but he was landing what I like to call, great eraser punches. He'd land 1 or 2 good solid shots often to the body on pacman that erased everything pacquiao did previously.

When I first watched the fight in the bar, it seemed alot closer, but when I watched 4-5 times it clear the judges did a good job and made the right decision. Pacquiao was just plainly outclassed by the better boxer. Pacman would hit him on the arm or the glove or in the head while bradley was moving away and rolling the punch of and the crowd would think these were clean shots, but when you look really close they were being blocked or rolled, they were ineffective punches and pacman was getting nailed flushly with shots to the body and chin.
