    Tim Bradley is featherfisted but he usually brings it with a high output attack. He's had some bad fights ala Alexander, but his showings against Lamont Peterson and Holt were class. The Pacquiao fight was a decent effort and he was no less active than JMM in the third fight only difference being JMM having the better offensive arsenal and power to keep Pacquiao honest


    Marquez team says they don't want to fight Bradley because it would be boring. I don't think it would be boring. Itd be interesting to see how Marquez handles someone like Bradley and vice versa?

    Why don't more fans wanna see this fight if Marquez does indeed continue boxing? It would pretty much settle the 140lb king.

    Agreed! I want to watch this fight more than ANY avaliable fight.
    Wouldn't be anywhere near a negative Vs. negative fight like Mayweather Vs. Marquez.
    Timmy might get a bit ballsy & try to take it to Juan?

    It's a shame they are both under the Top Rank banner or rather on the Pac only list.

    Cotto should go after Bradley and Marquez to make his WW return. When Cotto knocks both of them out he can get the Mayweather rematch in N.Y.C. where he can KO Floyd.

    Bradley too active and too good defensively. Timmy gets in and out to a wide UD.

    Timmy is great at leapin in puttin work in and getting out, but Marquez masters one ambush fighter, I can see him presenting Timmeh with somehing to think about when he pulls back

    Marquez is excellent at controlling the angles his opponent comes in from. Tim has to set a fast pace and not let Marquez set up off his movement.

    Boring is code word for "I'm old and want lots of money or an easy showcase match and I've damned well earned it."
    Bradley is not a boring fighter at all and would not make for a boring fight. MW, this is a fight for hardcore fans-us. Not one for selling tickets and putting viewers on the channel.

    It's not going to be like fighting Pacquiao, but it is a very intriguing fight

    Bradley would butt Marquez en route to a no-contest

    Depends on how Bradley will take it to JMM.

    If jmm wants to remain at welter this and Pac are his best options. He has conceeded defeat to Floyd already and knows that ain't ever an option.

    Moving down to light welter would be interesting but I don't see timbo fighting that low again and is Marquez at this stage really gonna test himself against Garcia or Matthyse?

    I say, if I was his manager he can fight brad, Pac and then a farewell homecoming against Morales.

    Decent fight.

    Not PPV worthy though.
