    I get it, some people here think his fighting style is boring at times. But this dude fights anyone and doesnt cherrypick. He is not afraid to trade blows at time i.e. Prov fight. I think that he became more aggressive fighter after the Pac fight cause he knew that his style doesnt bring good PPV numbers. I see a better fight this time around against Pac. IMO he will lose but I give him big props for fighting him again. If Prov could do that to Bradley, A more aggressive Pac would Knock him out.

    Bradley isn't going to fight Pacquiao the way he did Provodnikov. He's going to come and try to box all night. Opening up and allowing Pacquiao to land his big shots flush would be a stupid move from Bradley especially with the pressure he's getting about the gift decision in the first fight.

    Personally, Bradley doesn't thrill me, but there's no denying he is one of today's top champions.
    I think he is wasted on fighting Pac again, and really leads the pack in deserving a real fight and big payday with Mayweather.

    Last time I checked he avoided Khan and fought Casamayor instead....

    Uses his head too much.
    Talks too much.

    People give him respect after the Prov fight. Why? He fought a **** fight. That's not Tim Bradley. That's a Tim Bradley going into a fight with a bad mentallity after them same 'fans' rightfully gave him stick for his Pac robbery.

    All he has to do I shut up and do his job accepting who he is..he is one of the best there...his lack of fanbase has left him with a bad taste in his mouth...

    Agree. You can either be a boring fighter that cherry picks or a boring fighter that fights anyone.

    Brad is usually aggresive in the last min of every round. So if Pac counters that by being busy, I see some blows trading IMO.

    I'm not a big fan of his but he is a credit to the sport.

    We need less Bradley's in boxing. He's an alright defensive fighter like Rigondeaux, Mayweather, and Ward, but not really on their level. He's boring, and the Provodnikov fight was a fluke. We need more Mike Alvarados and Brandon Rios, mid level boxers who come to fight and make exciting matches. Plus, Pacquiao type elite bangers who like to put on a good show. We need Arturo Gattis, Evander Holyfields, Danny Lopez', Bobby Chacons, Rocky Marcianos, Israel Vazquez', to put butts in seats and eyes on screens.

    Depending on how the fight goes, bradley vs. Maidana should be a great fight.
