What makes Bradley, Alexander & Berto "slicker" than someone like Pac victim M.Cotto?

qouted for truth.

 

i think ivan calderon is slick. Pac is slick. but the slick word is being used with much liberty on fighters with african-american origin. If Cornelius Bundrage had a smart manager, he should have taught him to display some fancy head movement and pretend with a flashy footwork from time to time. that way he could have himself labeled as slick and earn millions of dollars for his HBO license fee

 

Pac victim?

Was that really necessary?

 

All 3 of those fighters are very different but its not simply a skin colour factor, more speed and ability to use both hands. Bradley has the best defense of all the fighters mentioned and its hard to land cleanly on him for the most part. Berto is just fast but lacking defensively, Alexander fast, but can telegraph but better defensively than Berto and cagier than Cotto.

My opinion of both Bradley and Alexander went down last night, Bradley can be neutralised by taller opponents, against Pacquaio this wouldn't actually be a factor though. Still he can run out of ideas as he did last night. Bradley isn't pure slickness but he does combine a really good all round package

Cotto has always lacked several things from his game, the first being speed as he's just slow, the second defense as he's always been very hittable, and the last his 1 handedness and relying on a left hand is suicide against Pacquaio. I'm not saying all those are necessarily better than Cotto but all 3 are faster and 3 have much better right hands, which is a tool that will work far better than the left

All 3 are interesting fights despite the fact Alexander needs to fight his way back to contention. Bradley has the defense/inside game and speed, Alexander has the southpaw stance/speed, Berto speed/size/power. However I think Khan is probably a tougher fight than lot, which is a shame as both have said it won't happen, Khan should beat Bradley/Alexander comfortably now

 

Cotto is NOT slow. He is methodical, there is a difference. Steward who was sat ringside himself said Cotto is a fast fighter, before he started training Cotto. Cotto when he unleashes his hands is fast, he's just methodical in his approach giving the impression that he's slow.

 

:deal

 

agreed, Cotto isn't slow, when he fought mosley, he was fighting him at mosley's phase which isn't slow by any means.

 

I don't consider Berto slick at all really.

Defensively, Bradley is the slickest of the group, he typically does a good job slipping and picking off punches.

 

i think he is refering to the fact people say pac never faced a slick black fighter

 

Whatever helps you sleep at night :good

 

Good excuse for someone who got owned.

On topic, Slick is the word to decorate fighter who's supposedly has been ducked by Pac - *****s
