    So, I'm looking at a load of threads around the forums and on Twitter and see so many people picking Bradley for the upset. I think it's become a bit of trend more so than people actually thinking about it. A lot of people, in my opinion, have seen the 24/7 stuff, his attitude and hooked onto the train.

    I myself thought he'd win but his performances talk. Beside his fight with Peterson, has he really impressed us? And before some silly fool says I'm trying to hate on the guy, I'm not.

    I've seen his fights from the Lamont Peterson fight to his last fight with Casamayor in their entirety and I'm not convinced.

    Picking out his fights with southpaws specifically, Alexander and Casamayor, I see so many openings where even Casa and Alexander got a few shots here and there in and these fighters are nowhere in the league of Manny Pacquiao. I'm quite baffled as to what people are seeing. I get the picture many think that Manny Pacquiao is just going to let Bradley treat him like a punching bag.

    He definitely doesn't have the smarts of Juan Manuel Marquez, who had already experienced fighting Manny twice. I have no doubt he's going to try and implement something similar but when he attacks, he leaves himself so damn open at times. A lot of people say he's better defensively than he looks but he's not in against somebody that can't capitalize, is he? He's in with Pacquiao who can find them weird angles and get shots in.

    I'm just not hooked onto what everyone's feeling. I don't feel that his last 6 opponents are anywhere near the caliber of fighter that Pacquiao is. I just feel it's become a trend at people are focusing on the positives of Bradley and the negatives of Manny.

    Is anyone else feeling the same, or is it just me?

    Remember, the fight is live on the NEW home of boxing, Primetime. :deal

    agree with you. Bradley gets outclassed against pacquiao. Don't see what all the fuss is about.

    Khan v Bradley would be a fantastic fight. A shame bradders is too scared to take it.

    p.s. **** Primetime :deal

    Yeah Pac is a level above Bradley and this should show.

    It's becoming a trend to pick against Pacman in his fights now.

    There is a huge difference between Bradley and Marquez. Basically people are reading too much into Pac-Marq fight. Pac is going to show Bradley his level tonight and stop him in the first half of the fight.

    I can't stand Bradley's style - I hope he doesnt ruin this fight with his billy goat head butts and holding. In fact, once he starts to get punched about by Pac, I think he is going to hold and spoil.

    I really think this will be a close fight, lets put it this way if Pac is not on his game 100% Tim WILL beat him.

    Yet something tell's me with Pac coming in bang on 147, he will show his power and hurt Bradley early on.

    I am hyped for this fight trust.

    Bradley can be very clumsy and open I think PAC stops him unless he has somehow turned shot

    No matter how well he boxes Arum won't give him the decision.

    Bradley can only win by K.O, but it would seem he lacks the power.

    Technically confident but mentally and strategically we will find out. Pac is a super talent, fast, powerful, strong, fit and durable and thats without any technique or skill. To beat him at this stage I think you need be technically and strategically very good like Morales was to beat him, like Marquez was to beat him in his last fight etc
