What % Chance Does Bradley Have?

Yeah ur gonna be one of the idiots who will blame Pacquiaos average performance vs Bradley on declining/cramps and whatever bull**** that comes along. Bradley is a real opponent. He isnt dead at 147 like a DLH. He aint a flat footed cheater like Margarito. He aint a punching bag Clottey. Or lunges with his chin up Hatton. Pacquiao didnt even look good vs Mosley. When he finally steps up and fights Marquez he was beat in the eyes of many. About time he takes on another real challenge. And when he looks average again its because of the guy they put in front of him, not because his magic powers are vanishing over night.

Sorry but I can't see how Bradley wins. Bradley hasn't fought anyone of Pac's level(even a declined Pac level).

Pac by KO or UD(if Bradley decides to ride a bicycle.)

People are crazy to think Bradley has not chance

 

People are crazy for putting Bradley on a pedestal like this after two lacklustre performances against mediocre-bad competition... granted Manny hasn't been doing much better lately, but slightly past it Marquez and old Mosley, are better than never was Alexander and shot Casamayor any day.

If he loses wide or gets stopped, both of which are a possibility, the backlash on here will be pretty bad. When the fact is maybe he's being propped up to be on a level he's not.

 

30 - 40

 

Thats how Bradley fights and he will apply the same tactics fot this fight as well. Partly the reason for why he is such a difficult fighter to fight.
Mosley and JMM exposed Manny weaknesses, the ones that he had always had.
Tim would be an idiot not to apply similar tactics. Also the fact that Bradley is quite fast has great foot speed, has probably the biggest heart in boxing and adapts well in the ring, makes him a very tough opponent and more than capable to win the fight.

We'll see man, I just think people are going to be very disappointed if he fails to live up to these lofty expectations.

 

1/3 chances to win.,

 

1%

He doesn't have the power to stop Pacquiao and there's no way he'll get the decision, even if he dominates the fight. So the 1% comes from the very small chance that Pac injures himself and needs to forfeit. Although Arum would probably find a way to make it a no contest even then.

 

20%, that's being generous.
Bradley's game is on the inside. Pacquiao is going to force him to his back foot. While he has shown respectable bower at 140 it will be deminshed at 147. Bradley might have the ability to out box Pacquiao on the inside, but he won't be able to get there.
If this was at 140 I'd call it a 60/40 fight in favor of Pacquiao.

 

Yes he will.

 

Never understood the point of these threads. How do people even figure out the actual % someone will have? Just say what you think will happen

 

I think it’s because Pac’s game was badly exposed by JMM, and he’s not the same force he once was. Maybe his legs aren’t what they used to be, maybe he gets cramps because he has to chase like never before, or maybe it’s a combination of both. Whatever the case, Bradley couldn’t have been given a better time to face him. If Pac’s physical side isn’t declining, then his mental/heart definitely is. As a fan, watching an unenthusiastic and an easily discouraged Pacquiao, is a massive cause for concern. Especially against a hungry, intelligent guy like Bradley.

in the Brit Forum (you might wanna’ check it out and join in), and I mentioned the following things which I think Bradley will do and trouble Pac:

1. Follow the example of Mosley and JMM
Like Brother Nazim was shouting to Mosley during the fight: "All you’re doing is showing somebody else how to beat this man". JMM, 5 months later, showed us all again. A retreating target confuses Manny big time. He struggles to measure the distance and all of his punches fall short, especially when you circle to your left whilst going back. Once his left hand is taken away from him, he’s rendered ineffective for the most part.

2. Frustrate Manny early
Use the first few rounds to keep Manny’s success rate right down to the ground. He’ll be hopeless and deterred by the latter rounds, and will be less of a monster to take the fight to – something that’ll be needed at some point if you want to win points!

3. Upper body and head movement
Despite being absolutely appalling at cutting off the ring, there may be occasions where Manny will force you against the ropes. When in these situations, simply apply your usual head and upper body movement to continue limiting Manny’s connects. Do this in the middle of the ring too, of course.

4. Countering with controlled, fearless aggression.
Once you’ve got a feel for Manny’s attacks – that are gradually becoming more desperate and less dangerous – begin launching counter combinations. When timed properly and done with enough accuracy, you’ll not only irritate him, but you’ll actually strike fear and anxiety into him. That may sound weird seeing as though he ate Cotto’s and Margarito’s punches like M&Ms, but those were done whilst knowing his own punches were getting through and landing. When he can’t even get close enough to score without eating counters, he gets disturbed very easily.

Ultimately, the key is making him miss and putting him on a leash. That’s when he’s less threatening and can easily be out-thought.

Bradley can give Pacquiao a tough fight, though if he charges in with wild punches wide open then it's curtains for him and early.
