    Bradley has to bring it damn near perfect, and may have to also depend on some mistakes from Pac Man, but Bradley CAN win this.

    My pick may become more concrete as time goes on.

    Respect to Pac for fighting my boy Bradley.

    Who feels this fight might end in a technical decision? the chances of heads clashing is pretty big if you consider their size,style and southpaw vs orthodox.

    AND Headbutt

    Bradley needs the underlined to have a chance at the bold.

    But it's the best fight for Pac outside of Mayweather and JMM... And we probably should have known those wouldn't happen, although we all go through the motions of getting hyped for fights that should happen.

    Pac shouldn't run his face into the top of Bradley's head like everybody else does.

    The only way Bradley really can win is if he is able to open a cut on purpose and intentionally on Pacquaio using that enormous egg shaped cranium of his i.e. like Clottey intentionally and purposefully butted Cotto and opened that huge cut on his eye. In the fights where Pacquaio has been cut are the ones he has lost and/or seemed to lose because when he sees his own blood, it's as if he craps in his trunks and gets really worried and doesn't stick to the gameplan. So, the only key to this fight is the egg shaped head of Bradley's. Bradley can't punch, so he has to use the only weapon he has that can hit hard, do damage and terrify Pac and that's his dome.

    Bradley would kick the crap out of Ortiz.


    Its still a **** fight though. Bradleys a small JWW I don't think he'll be very effective at 147, he looked like crap against Abregu. Pacquiao should have no problem. Slightly better fight than Mayweather-Cotto though for sure.

    I honestly believe Bradley will beat Manny. Bradley will make it an ugly fight. That fight will not be entertaining. Bradley will use his footwork to get inside and beat Manny there. Bradley has a tight defense as well. Of course Manny could KO him but I don't see it. Bradley has been in the ring with big punchers. Basically what I see happening is Bradley not falling for the feints. Bradley will use his footwork to get inside and bully Manny. Bradley is pretty strong so he could def do it. Again this fight will be an ugly fight LOL.

    Pac should win-

    If he don't look good in the Win, meaning he needs to dominate a UD or knock em out...then he'll kill the mega fight-

    Bradley is young and prime and will be a close fight. He is an intelligent boxer and has good movement. He's been a champ fora while so he will have the mental confidence and hunger to win. At this point in time bradley is the better fighter. As oppose to cotto who's not even close to his prime. His reaction and timing was so off that even a old mayorga looping hook hit him several times. No doubt pac has the harder assignment and even a upset. Cotto just doesn't have it anymore to compete against floyd.

    I don't think he will.. And I don't think he'll lose.. Bradley can win like you said, but it would take a lot.. And I just don't see the cards stacking up against Manny like that. Bradley needs to gain some respect from Manny, and I don't think he has enough power to do that. He won't win a UD.

    If he's "quite a bit better" then why did he openly duck him?

    Bradley was talking up an unofficial tournament to see who is the undisputed champion at 140 but lost his bottle when it came to the final.
