    He needs to fight the same fight Marquez did, except rely a little more on his jab and initiate his exchanges on the inside.

    He would need to have the ideal balance of passiveness/aggression. Move jab, move jab, move jab, big unexpected exchange on the inside to get the edge in the round, then back to the stick and move.

    I don't think he can slip punches well enough to stand up to Pacquiao's offensive motor. The weight will change my prediction. At 154, Pac UD. At 147, Pac TKO 9.

    Hopefully the fight is at 154, then it would have been the third or fourth best option, but if it is at 147, I'll go so far as to say that a fight with Bradley would be somewhat dramatically more significant.
