Timothy Bradley vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr., who wins?

I agree.

I don't see Bradley being dynamic enough to beat Floyd Mayweather. Even though his strengths are advancing behind quick counters before lunging in to do inside work, he's simply not tight or varied enough at close range to ever bother Floyd's defense. If Cotto couldn't decisively win rounds on the inside against Floyd, how is Tim going to? Windmilling to the body with looping shits will only have him eating hard counters early on, and his lack of offense when moving laterally indicates he couldn't offer anything to the much taller and longer Floyd were he to start pressuring Tim. I don't see a way for him to win given what he's shown us. Floyd's control of distance and guard is simply too good.

 

I feel that Bradley lack of Height and punching power will hurt him here, Floyd wins a UD 9-3/8-4 type of fight.

 

:rofl He didn't lose badly at all against Pac.

 

mayweather knocks him out .

 

I think we should wait and see what Floyd looks like next time out Honestly he has slowed down as well, he just has enough skill left in him to know how to deal with it.

I mean Cotto though Floyd did dominate it was a hard fight for Floyd, lets see how he looks when he gets out of Jail.

 

Mayweather would own him. Hopefully he doesn't get robbed on the cards like Pacquiao did though Sadly enough, the judges seem to love Bradley's flicker jabs and slapping hooks that get blocked all the time, and overlook it when he gets drilled with hard, sharp counters. For all we know, the judges could reward Bradley for "outworking" Mayweather, even if it's not at all quality work and he gets heavily outlanded.

I can't stand Bradley, I'd be pulling for Mayweather to knock him out in humiliating fashion if they ever fought. Bradley talks way too much **** for getting robbery decision against Pacquiao. It's nauseating how he talks **** about Khan after he plain ducked him.

 

Not even close. Stop asking question you already know the answer to. Mayweather is all wrong for Bradley.

 

Bradley...based on punch accumulation and bits of boxing.

 

I don't doubt Tim's stamina in the ring. What I do have issues with is your assessment of his punch volume. I've seen Bradley throw long strings of combinations, but only in bursts. He edges forward, throws jabs and 1-2's, feints, and once in a while, goes all out on the inside throwing to the body and head. Never have I ever seen Bradley throw as many power punches as Castillo, Hatton, or Cotto did against Floyd over 12, nor have I ever seen him throw anywhere near the volume Calzaghe did.

Many people say Floyd doesn't hit hard enough to hurt a fighter with his counters, but that's simply not true. Ortiz's trainer said the same thing about Ortiz, and look what happened. He hits hard enough to get respect and accurate enough to hurt durable fighters with the right shot. With his guard and counter-punching ability, I don't see Bradley being able to hit Floyd more than he will get hit.

What this comes down to is craft. Speed, power, stamina, those things only matter when the style behind them can match up well against the opponent's. Bradley, as well-rounded as he is, is not a dynamic inside fighter. He throws looping punches, leaves himself open, doesn't throw dynamic combinations, and could never win an outside fight against Floyd. I don't see what he brings that Floyd hasn't seen before. Cotto was a much more physical, savvy infighter who mixed up his punching with a veteran sense of timing Tim lacks.

If he can't win on the inside, and he can't win on the outside, then all things point to a victory for Floyd, who excels at both ranges.

 

Much easier to score Floyd's accurate, clean punches. At the same time, with Floyd's reputation as a defensive master, most of Bradley's wild, sloppy punches won't be scored.

Bradley would almost certainly need to a kd, or two, or a ko/tko.

 

Bradley is a good boxer but everything he does Mayweather can do MUCH better.

Bradley has no chance of making it a physical fight look at the Cotto fight Mayweather, despite 154lbs not being his weight and coming in lighter than Cotto he was more than able to hold his own.

Bradley doesn't even have a punchers chance so how exactly is he going to beat Floyd?

I would expect a 9-3 type decision.....for people who say Mayweather doesn't punch hard enough, look at Cotto in the 12th round....and it was Cotto who was supposed to be the bigger puncher of the two!

We see time and time again Mayweathers opponents say he is a decent puncher but I suppose "experts" on ESB know otherwise.

 

Canibust always on the wrong side of a debate. I think he likes it there.

 

I dont even know why anybodys trying to advance the notion of a Bradley / Mayweather fight. Mayweather is simply too skilled for Bradley and Pac for that matter. However, he does owe Pac an ass whoopin and I hope the little man steps up to the plate.
