He is. Cotto relied on power. Clottey never was much of a technical boxer besides his defense. Bradley has the total package, he has all the tools Marquez has and with the right training and strategy he can do the same thing to Pacquiao.
Watch the Casaymayor fight again... he was eating that straight left early on. If he can catch him, Manny can catch him... and when he does, Timmy ain't getting up.
Pac will win but it will be a grind, not a KO. prime Pacs two classes above the cowardly Bradley, but hes just got too old now to destory him.
Bradley does have a chance but he must fight his fight. He has to keep the fight on the inside and rough up and even foul Pac to try and frustrate him. He has good skills and is being underestimated here.
People out here think Manny is down he is going to ko Bradley then everbody will try to get on the bad wagon.
Me personally, I dont see how Bradley will get a decision over Pac if the fight was close...I expect Bradley to put up a hell of a fight but in a losing effort. By no means will Pac KO Bradley...Bradley is too determined for him to get off of his gameplan...If I'm wrong then I'll be ready to eat my big plate of crow.:yep
i dont think this will be a one sided match up, bradley will move throwing fancy combos and cover up. i see this going the distance or mid to late stoppage to pacquaio i imagine bradley will hit the floor once or twice even if he does survive. the key to bradleys game plan has to be boxing fundamentals
Na I expect a destruction here. Bradley has proven his quality but imo Pac still has it. I don't think Bradley is as good as JMM and certainly as good against south paws. Witter and Alexander gave him trouble imo and he will struggle on the back foot as well.
I think people have forgotten that Pacquiao *lost* his last fight. All Bradley has to do is circle to Pacquaio's right, keep the jab in his face, wait for the ambush - then follow Pacquiao after the ambush.
We'll see, can I go back and do a pole for this thread? I recon Pacquiao is going to smash him all over to be honest. Nothing against Bradley but imo he's out gunned in every department. Marquez is better than him and has Pacquiao's number.
