    Why do people act like Pacquiao didn't just have the fight of his life with Tim Bradley?

    Tim Bradley has zero physical advantages over Pac, and still brawled with Pac neck and neck until he hurt his leg or gassed or whatever happened...

    I know Tim is easily a more deserving p4p fighter, but realitically Alvarez is a better fighter. Not P4P mind you, just realistically... If they fought, Alvarez would win

    Pacquiao is not slick, he's not a good defensive boxer. The only time you ever see him outboxing his opponent with slick movement is when he's fighting a walking Zombie in Dehydrated De La Hoya and Brandon Rios.

    Canelo would be the biggest, strongest, most powerful, fastest boxer he's ever faced. It would hardly be a contest

    Wake up people! Austin Trout may not be as great as Pac, but he is a lot taller, a lot slicker as a boxer, and a lot more patient... They're physical and stylistic opposites

    Bradley is faster than Alvarez. Both hand and feet. Also better defense.

    Alvarez is slow on his feet, which gives Pac a HUGE advantage in that regard. Fast of hand don't mean that much if you can't move fast enough to cut off the ring.

    GGG is not that fast, but he's a master at cutting off the ring. Alvarez not so much. Foot movement is the most underrated quality in boxing. In fact, it's the difference between a good boxer and a great one.

    Look at Broner. Fast hands, slow feet. He's not even top 10 at welter.

    You say that as if Pacquiao's extremely hard to hit.

    Slow on his feet when compared to slick boxers, but he can move his feet.

    And if Bradley's faster, than he's BARELY faster. Plus he's much shorter and has stubby muscular arms.

    And how bad is Canelo's defense really? Bradley's lower to the ground and has better head movement, but how often does Canelo get hit? He was making Trout miss like crazy, he made Angulo miss like crazy. And he's a good counter puncher.

    And then we have Pac's defense, like that's ever been great.

    The guy has no chance

    @LightsOutJack

    You're spot on in you're analysis in my opinion. Just last week Roach was talking about asking Pacquiao to go down to 140, and this week they're talking about him moving up to the 150+ class. Roach just said he thought 147 has taken a toll on Pacquiao, now they want to take on a young talent like Alvarez at 152+, I dont really buy it.
