I agree with that, he's got other concerns and doesn't have the same intensity. Maybe but I doubt it, Pacquaio is worth more in two fights to Arum, than what Bradley would be worth in 5. Even if he beat Pac, it might not give him a huge fan base, bearing in mind Pacquaio has an army of Asian supporters who factor into his numbers.
Looks ****...just like bradleys chances.... His best way to win is using his head Bradleys been down against lesser punchers.... Cant see him not getting tagged in this one
The general opinion is that Cotto gave up on being a Top P4P fighter and was brought up and motivated by Floyd for one last effort after that beatdown. It was not Manny circling around the ring in the end stretch and it was Manny who let Cotto finish the fight in round 12. YOU say it is a general opinion that Manny has aged even though nobody has seen that in the Cowboys Stadium in Texas against Clottey or against Margo even though Margo fought a lot different from Clottey and stalked all the time, even hurt Pac with a body punch but not much else other than finishing bruised and battered even with that huge weight advantage at fightnight. Shane, one of the bravest warriors, gave up on trading with Pac and he did try against Floyd. So it all comes up to this guy JMM, one of the slickest counterpunchers in the game, beat Juan Diaz, Joel Casamayor and made a case for himself against Pac. I think he gat his number but still young Tim is a lot different than a more physical and less accurate and Ring General than an old fighter, veteran JMM. Tim is a good fighter and he did prove his willpower against the better amateur background and better boxing skills of Devon Alexander, imposing himself, going inside like against Lamont Peterson or Junior Witter or Kendall Holt, and letting punches fly. He is in superb condition, he has the stamina and his size, stance and looping right hand are dangerous for anyone including Manny and maybe they ( Manny/Roach) are underestimating Tim but I want to see Tim fight through puffy eyes, bruised face, cuts even though I keep fingers crossed so that it won't happen, I swear it, pain in his body and weak legs and from those middle rounds on, I really want to see him come forward b'cause I know Shane and Miguel and Antonio well, not Joshua that well but he's tough as nails as they say, and no one had a chance to bring the fight to the guy. Good luck even though you are not a fan but a fan of boxing and maybe addicted to the site like I am. No reason for being nervous either for you or me to about this one, that is the bottom line, just excited in the good sense of the sweet science and a Mega-Fight we hope it to be. Cheers.
Roman Pax is not called here, Pacquaio is a predator and a hunter and he ought to be to become exciting, to be known and supported by fans all over the world, he is the opposite of Floyd and not giving anyone an advantage. He felt it for Bradley when he said he would pray for him b'cause this is a blood sport like the gladiators from the Spartacus days and sometimes people die and he said God Bless You Tim cause he wants to be part of a show which is supposed to be entertaining for the fans who r not many different from the roman circus, bread and party. the fighters do the best to earn a living and look for their future.
About time they stopped with all the giggling,I see Bradley having his moments but Timmy is gonna feel the pain..
Tim isn't really that big a puncher where he can end the fight early. Good fighter.. Tim is undefeated so that does mean he is going to come to win at first. Who knows what happens midrounds.
he has confidence. Freddie Roach even looks at Bradley like saying "you can only dream about being in the ring with us". Confidence is good. Hearns had it against Barkley in 1988 where he left himself open, but Barkley was a hard puncher and stylewise he swung at any time. That type of guy can upset another big puncher, Tim could upset Pacman since Manny looks overconfident, but I doubt it. Tim is not that big a puncher.
