    he is, is Floyd an Alien or a god? To think no-one is similar to Floyd is a fantasy. Floyd has a very orthodox style... it just so happens that he is better at it than everyone else.

    Pacquio's style is much more difficult to replicate.

    There's a thing called defence in boxing. If you have defence, then you wont have to suffer would you?

    Not really, he is very one dimensional, fast hands yes, but does the same thing in every fight. Jump in, land combinations, overextend that left arm, jump out.

    Nothing Floyd wont be able to figure out.

    They fight nothing alike, they are night and day..Bradley fights stupid and reckless and Floyd is defensive and intelligent....you even said it for crying out loud...Bradley threw 800 useless punches and loses while Floyd will throw 400 accurate punches for a whitewash

    you know very little about boxing by calling a top p4p boxer 'reckless and stupid', you have 0 credibility...

    There is some similarities between the two and im a huge Bradley fan, but Tim is no Mayweather. Pac fans will see that May 2nd!

    lol, sure he is one dimensional - he steps in, steps out, moves side to side, throws combinations, uses feints, has a nasty right hook, a deadly left straight and can produce punches from seemingly impossible positions from which most fighters can't.

    So what about Floyd? what exactly does he do thats so multi dimensional compared to Manny? shoulder roll? moves out, pot shot with left hooks, right hands? throw combinations every now and then? what else?

    now compare the lists above about what they do and show where and why Floyd can do more than Manny? Just like you can make Manny seem 1 dimensional, i can do the same for Floyd - All he does is move around, step out, pot shot with two punches. Very 1 dimensional, floyd is. :)

    Shawn Porter recently stated Pacquiao is more versatile than Floyd Mayweather; that he has more options. Now i'm not going to necessarily agree with him but he's a fighter, who are you? Do you think you have more expertise?

    so learn boxing, PACQUIAO is not 1 dimensional, he is versatile. Perhaps you can state Floyd is more versatile but to claim Manny is a 1 dimensional fighter shows lack of boxing knowledge. It's the same as this larry dude who claims a top P4P fighter like Bradley is reckless and stupid. Learn boxing guys... learn boxing.

    ask the many boxing experts that consider him one, they can educate you. Of course, you think you know better.

    Pacquiao vs. Bradley II is one of Pac's best ever victories despite Bradley not being all that experienced or impressive at WW because he convincingly beat Marquez in Marquez's next fight after KTFO6 elevated him to #2 P4P.

    Bradley fights very little like Floyd... He has quick hands but his punching angles, combinations, and selection aren't similar. He has quick feet but he only uses them to get in position to trade (which seems pointless as I'm typing it up, but hey). He isn't very good defensively when it comes to body placement and head/neck movement and overall I would classify Bradley as a quick and skilled offensive minded volume puncher. Opposite to Floyd in many respects. It just seems the best comparable because Pacquiao's opponents are all similarly lacking "slickness" and "pure boxing" abilities.

    He got hit an insane amount in the Provodnikov fight. He got hit a good bit in both Pacquiao fights. And he definitely tasted leather in each of the Witter, Abregu, Chaves, and Holt fights. Defensively speaking, he didn't look very good in any of those fights.
