    Pacman will take away his zero

    :good cannot wait for him to shock world!.

    A psychological aspect of this bout is massive, One guys walking in with his career edging ever nearer to end. Then you got this young beast who trains like a animal for normal world title fights. Can't imagine how hard he will push himself for this. This is the fight that can make him a star name and a lot more money.

    I'm going to make a thread on this fight, it won't interfere with the debate of this one :good.

    I see it as kind of 60-40/55-45 in favour of Pac, though I have a feeling that I'm going to make so many posts where I say people shouldn't write Timbo off that I'll favour him come fight night.:lol:

    Bradley is a good fighter but not exceptional in any area. Bradely will make it competitive butPacman's superior speed and power will be too much IMO

    I really can't see why so many are picking Timmy here. Don't get me wrong, the guy is a great athlete and a very good fighter. But this is Manny Pacquiao we are talking about. While he is drawing to the end of his career, he still possesses enough quality to beat this kid.

    He certainly has the speed and power advantage here. Timmy's ducking at the waist will be met by viscous uppercuts and punches from all angles. While a very good boxer in his own right, Bradley isn't Marquez. People say Pacquiao is losing an edge, and to some extent I agree. But this is the same Pacquiao who almost sparked out Mosley early, before Sugar got on him bike.

    This will be a competitive fight while it lasts. Bradley's smarts will see him do ok early, but Pacquiao will start to land the big shots before too long, and take his man out around the 8th.

    Good fight and clash of styles .Slick black American against Pacquiao's speed and power .That's what Hopkins said about Pacquiao he's never fought a black slick American .I'll route for Pacquiao though .

    Two people are not 'so many' Vano. Or is that two people too many for your liking? lol

    Good fights.

    Can't complain with Mayweather/Cotto, Pac/Bradley and Marquez/Peterson.

    Even if Tim loses this he can significantly raise his profile with a good performance.

    Indeed it is :lol:

    Even in the other thread last week, Bradley was getting FAR too much love for my liking. It's amazing how much his stock has rose since Amir lost to Peterson

    Struggling with Marquez gives us no indication that Pac will struggle with Bradley. I see a cagey, ugly fight, with Manny struggling to land consistently.
