    Would Bradley have given Floyd any trouble?

    Good fight but Floyd would school little Timmy Bradley.

    Being a jack of all trades, master of none can be a blessing or curse depending on context.

    Here, a curse. You can't be as basic as Tim (whom I love dearly, btw, so that isn't me trashing him for the record) and have a prayer against Floyd.

    I can't see Bradley winning more than one round.

    Two early ones, max, if Floyd's at his most reticent-starting.

    Insurmountable opponent for Tim Bradley hard as he may try. He has no advantage to capitalize on

    This. Tim would be walking into punches all night against Mayweather.

    I think there will be a lot of closed rounds that can go either way but all of the closed round will be favored to Floyd. In the end Floyd will be declared as the winnner.

    Easy night for Floyd. Bradley brought nothing that would trouble Floyd.

    Bradley could not even beat Pacquiao so how can he beat Floyd?

    Well, styles make fights - but yeah, in this case, stylistically, it doesn't get any easier for Bradley facing Mayweather instead of Pac.

    In fact it gets worse.

    Definitely Floyd UD.

    Floyd is smarter, faster and technically superior in all aspect.

    However, it's a good match.

    Standard disclaimer of "We all thought Maidana would have been schooled before their first fight" and blah-blah-blah, what weapons does Timothy Bradly have that even allows him to be competitive? I just don't see it.

    This is a fight that should have happened, I think Floyd would have won but Timmy would have given him a tough fight.

    Bradley's well-rounded but not strong enough in any one area to really trouble Floyd.

    He doesn't have height or reach, and his jab was mostly just alright, not really authoritative.

    He's tenacious on the inside, but it wasn't until Atlas that he showed a sense of balance and positioning on the inside. Winging away like he did against Alexander on the ropes means eating hard counters.

    And while he can use different styles, deception and reading an opponent's intentions aren't really his strong point. He's a strong initiator, but I never got the sense that his sense of anticipation was elite. Nor is he a master feinter. You don't necessarily need to play Floyd's game and play a chess-match, but you can't be blind to what he might do.

    9/3-8/4 decision for Floyd, after spending some early rounds on the ropes letting Tim tire himself out and countering him.
