How do you rate Bradley's chances if he fights Pacquiao?

T. Bradley....5'6...150lbs vs M. Pacquiao...5'6...148lbs

:deal

 

J. Louis .....6ft2........199 7/10lbs

:deal

 

Pacman will destroy bradley like he did Cotto. Style make fights, and bradley style suits pacman's like cotto's did and he will just be to quick and too fast for bradley.

 

60/40 in Pacquiao's favour. I think Bradley's a live underdog though.

He's not just a quick aggressive dude who leads with his head, he's one of the more versatile fighters in the sport and has thrived off taking advantage of his opponent's weaknesses in every fight. His foot positioning is as good as Marquez's IMO, and it's perfectly feasible to see him continually stepping outside Manny's lead foot and clocking him with plenty of right hand counters. He's a very good fighter on the back-foot and has done so when it has suited him to do as such, and I don't think he'll play into Pac's hands by coming right to him.

Forcing Pacquiao to come at you and making him try to force his own openings makes your job a helluva a lot easier. His footwork isn't as impressive and as a result his feinting isn't as proficient. Bradley's shown an innate ability against southpaws to step outside them and pound away with 3's and 4's while they're completely out of position to throw back, why couldn't he do it if he made Pacquiao advance? He wouldn't cower and look to survive like Mosley did, I think that is a near-impossible happening.

 

**** I voted for the wrong option by accident

I don't think he would beat Pacquiao, Bradley is a decent technician, he can do the poor mans version of Carlos Ortiz (at times) thing and win the fight without having anyone jumping put of their seats. That said, he does this with strength more so than anything very frustrating in terms of elusiveness, and I don't think that;s a good thing against Manny Pacquiao. Pacquiao will do to him what he did to Cotto imo.

 

For me a stoppage on cuts is Bradley's only chance. I honestly don't see what he has going for him at this level. Pressure won't work for him, standing off won't work for him, he has nothing over Pacquiao.

I think Bradley is a good fighter, but he's not a great. Pacquiao will be out to prove that Marquez was a blip/boogie fight, and I see a brutal KO on the cards, or a complete shutout if Bradley runs.

 

I give Bradley a good chance. The only thing that concerns me is his defence. I saw him get hit with straight left leads from Alexander and Casamayor. If this is the case with Pacquaio, then he could be well and truly ****ed.

 

I'm not convinced that M.Pacquiao is capable of another performance at the level he was against M.Cotto. If he wins it wont be an easy nights work.

T.Bradley will be a hard nut to crack, he is a tough, well-rounded fighter who will be confident he can win, even if he doesnt he certainly wont lack for effort in trying.

 

:nono That has NEVER been my argument!
