This is all I've been hearing... but no one has bothered to mention that Bradley has never faced a guy of Pacquiao's caliber. Namsayin'? :hi: The shock of Bradley facing Pacquiao will be far greater than the shock of Pacquiao seeing Bradley. :deal
Bradley's an ugly ass fighter. If Bradley runs, and clinches at every opportunity, then the fight will look stupid, yes.
I honestly think this fight is being massively overlooked. Bradley is a tough, tough opponent. Seeing Alexander batter Maidana for 10 rounds perhaps reinforces the ideaology that Bradley is a great fighter. I know it's perhaps applying the fighter A>B>C logic a bit too much here, but if you consider that Khan had problems with Maidana, Alexander didnt't and Bradley didn't really have too many problems with Alexander (although it was close, it was seemingly clear), I think you get a better understanding of just how good Bradley is. He's not the most exciting but he's disciplined enough to know that he needs to box to a plan against Pac, and the guy can do just that, box.... For me, this will be THE telling fight if Pac has faded. His performance against Mosley was less than stellar (even though it was a shutout, I think it's widely percieved he should at least have been able to bust him up some more), and I'm kinda giving him a pass against JMM III. JMM just knows how to fight Pac, bad style match-up for him. I just hope we don't see a robbery if Bradley should win a decision.
