    I'd like to be wrong on this. If anyone deserves to lose it's Pacquiao with his weight mulitapations and cheery picking. Bradley at 147 is a cheery pick at 140 it would not have been one.

    Thanks for responses.

    I really don't think Bradley is going to an easy fight for Pac in the slightest.

    I'm not trying to shoot holes in Pac's resume here, but you can make excuses for why his previous opponents lost to him e.g:

    Cotto - 145lb (2lb made a difference)
    Mosley - Well past his prime
    Hatton - Mayweather broke him 1st
    Marquez - Gift decision, 2nd fight at ww
    Margarito - Smashed by Mosley, weight drained

    Now I'm not saying all the above are incredibly valid reasons why Pac has won, I think they are all firm opposition regardless of the variables mentioned above and they all look good on Pac's resume. I think if you look hard enough at almost any loss anyone has had to anybody else, you'd be able to drum up an excuse like the ones listed above.

    Bradley however - what will the excuse be here? With the exception of it being his first fight at ww, I don't think there's any excuses as to why he might lose to Pac. One might actually argue that he's physcially ripe and ready to make the move to 147, and that 140 may well prove to be too great an effort for him to make.

    Please don't misinterpret my post. All I'm saying here is, Bradley is undoubtedly a tough opponent for Pac.

    i give him 45 % to be exact. on paper he is about a get 20 to 30 %, but desert storm will box and fight his ass off. tim would be smart to work pacman body, tim does not have the power to hurt pacman with one shot but he can do damage from a accumulative standpoint.something i know is bradly sayed a few yrs ago that he is use to fighting bigger and taller guys and that its the shorter fighters that gave him problems the most.pac is the perfect height to give tim problems i think. all that getting low and coming up will be hard to do with manny because he is short.

    interesting, Mannys legs seem fine, his foot work was the same against jmm as for instance it was against cotto. the thing that ****ed him up was JMM feinting with his head, it offset mannys rhythm, manny restarted every time it happened. led to your point about how **** he is when he gets frustrated. ill have a look at that thread tonight. out of interest how did you score pac jmm 3?
