i pick bradley via close decision. will give plenty of credit to pacquiao if he wins fair and square.
I pick Pacquiao by destruction. Again, I don't mind this fight - but it's worth noting that if Floyd were fighting Bradley, he'd be getting shit on for it.
No. He'd only be getting shit because it's not Pacquiao. If Mayweather already had faced Manny win or lose, nobody would question Bradley's viability.
Yet when Floyd fought another 140lber moving up, everyone praised him as a strong young lion. Bradley is WAY better and more proven than Ortiz.
Its worth noting that A) Floyd is allot bigger than Manny B) Manny has a better history of fighting full fledged welters at the weight.
Yep. I still think it's the most likely outcome to be honest... even though I've been on that gut feeling that Bradley might beat him for a while now.
I guess it's possible, as I said in an earlier post it could transpire that Pacquiao simply has too much firepower, and is too good. But I don't know, I see a very tough fight either way. I think Braddles is being underrated by some, and Pacquiao isn't the fighter he used to be.
To be honest this fight seems kind of silly at 147, neither him or Bradley are welters. He should just fight Bradley at 140 like he did Hatton.
I will give Pac full credit (despite the fact that he is obviously chemically enhanced and his post 130 career is fraud mixed with good management) if he smokes Bradley but I think he's in for a tough fight. I could see it going either way. I might wind up picking Bradley, but I'm not sure yet
Strange how Pac isn't getting shit for it because it's not Floyd then, isn't it? If Floyd were fighting Martinez in this scenario instead of Bradley, do you think he'd still get shit? No, because Martinez is seen as a legitimate threat to Floyd - something that would only ever be said of Bradley once Floyd had shown himself to be in serious decline.
some people here think bradley can win. i will even throw a few dollars on him by decision. how many here think bradley can beat mayweather? rhetorical question
What do you think the explanation for that is loadedgloves? To give Pac shit for not fighting PBF, I guess you'd have to consider that PBF's offer of no PPV & less than 50% of the purse was a fair offer that Manny should have agreed to.
The bottom line is what Neil alluded to. Pac doesn't get shit for Bradley because some people actually think Bradley can beat him. Not one single person here would pick Bradley over Floyd. Everyone knows Floyd would fuck up Bradley.
Maybe I misunderstood. I thought that your point (& what you were questioning) was that Pac should get as much shit for not fighting PBF, as PBF should get for not fighting Pac.
bradley needs a ko to get a draw. no way he will win a decision. i dont see pac needing a gift like the marquez fight. i see him beating the shit out of bradley and getting a late tko.
i think bradley would do better vs floyd than manny. anybody manny can hit repeatidly he is beating. bradley is not going to be able to stop manny from getting off
