Bradley, the greatest or simply the best

kirk · Oct 13, 2013

People often overlook that the person to do the 1st of something, usually did it because of the timing involved.

* Toney being the first person to stop Holyfield
* Monte being the first person to drop Tua

ect.

Not taking anything away from what Bradleys done, but theres an * next to 'The only man to beat Pac and JMM'

And its
* Most feel he was gifted (and against, imo, a past prime) Pac
* JMM was 40 years old

Regardless, its quite the feat.... but it needs its perspective.

Still though, super happy for Bradley.

Bradley is not the greatest or the best and even he will tell you that. He ushered JMM out the door and I guess it was just JMM's time to go. He broke Pac's momentum and he is probably on his way out. JMM had a great run and so did Pac but now it's time for the young dogs of war to emerge and that's where Bradley will or will not gain a legendary status. The only thing he will get by fighting Mayweather is an ass whoopin so that's out of the question but you got Adrian B, Danny G, Mike A, K Thurman, and the list goes on.

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.

You're an idiot seriously you're an idiot. Anybody that has Bradley winning is a damn idiot. Cj Ross is no longer going to judge a fight again because of that ******ed scoring by her favoring Bradley over pacquiao and a draw of mayweather vs canelo. Basically everyone had pac winning even the damn pac haters including myself had pac winning.

WTF are some of you talking about???

Bradley may have ruffled a few feathers after the Pac match (****, I thought he was ready to give up, but when Pac started to cruise Timothy continued to take the fight to him and that's how/why he won) and suffered a bruised ego in the aftermath, but he tried to prove something against Ruslan (by going toe to toe and forget about boxing wisely) and nearly got KO'd. The fact he put his ego aside and took a knee rather that get KTFO proves he got smarter in the nick of time.

What he has shown now is 'that what doesn't kill ya, makes ya stronger' and has clearly become a much better and smarter BOXER since the Provodnikov fight!

So, as the OP stated, Bradley is seriously to be considered as the biggest threat in the welterweight divisions.

His footwork, his chin, his punch combos and power was greatly improved in his showing against an excellent intelligent boxer like JMM and that is why he got the win.
