Bradley def lost to Jaime Rangel years ago on shobox.
He has been very fortunate in decisions. No doubt about it.
The comments towards bradley are pathetic.
"Pac really won"
"Prov lost by a hair"
"Nerdy bradley"
Give the guy a break!
Bradley is fighting everyone and beating everyone and any fan should show true appreciation about what this guy brings to the ring.
He beat pac (barely)
He beat prov
He beat marquez
He beat the best on top rank at 147 and just because hes not got a big punch or suiting your ideal lets just ruin the guy!
He beat Prov and JMM, those decisions shouldn't be in question.
Agreed and he beat decent opposition at light welter coming from knock downs at times.Quote:

If bradley beats pac then I truly believe you are looking at the 2nd best at 147 bar none if he isnt already..
I mean, what else is bradley supposed to do? What was froch supposed to do? Just say the ref stopped it too soon or pac was just to good for me?!
Bradley has fought so many styles and he is not really great in any area but his heart surpasses everything and im looking forward to seeing what an uninjured bradley can achieve..
And as for freddie roach popping up with all his stupid comments trying to reinvent a fighter who got beat by marquez 4 times and has the worst contract in boxing...it will give me great joy to see bradley victorious at the end and more excuses from freddies camp.
The sad thing Bradley has signed 2 years of his career away and if he beats Manny he will end up fighting JMM, Pro again and then Rios etc. A joke.
Bob arum caused all of this but its easier to just say floyd is scared of everyone.

There is what appears to be quiet confidence in Manny Pacquiao’s training camp and it spells trouble for Timothy Bradley, according to a perennial observer at the Wild Card Boxing Club.
Fred Sternburg, topnotch PR man tapped by Top Rank to drumbeat the already much-publicized April 12 rematch in Las Vegas, said that Pacquiao is exuding the aura and glow he’d seen last many years ago.
“It’s been a great camp with everyone loose and all on the same page,” said Sternburg in an email message. “This camp reminds me of the training camps leading up to the (Oscar) Dela Hoya and (Ricky) Hatton fights.”
The two camps Sternburg referred to produced two sensational wins and it’s been looking that way these days at the famed sweat shop on Vine Street in Hollywood.
A couple of days back, Pacquiao trained for over three hours and did the mitts with Freddie Roach and Sternburg thought he heard shots rung out.
“Manny went 13 rounds on the mitts with Freddie. If you closed your eyes, you couldn’t tell whether the power shots were coming from Manny’s rights or lefts. Thy all sounded like high-powered rifle shots,” said Sternburg.
With Justin Fortune back as conditioning coach after an absence of seven years, Pacquiao looked a bit confused when he began doing Fortune’s brand of strength training.
“What really impressed me is how well Manny has adjusted to Justin Fortune’s various strength and conditioning drills. What seemed a bit unorthodox to Manny two weeks ago he can now do with ease and he seems to really be enjoying them. He even commented on how strong he now feels, flexing and showing off his upper body muscles. Manny did more drills than Justin asked him to do,” said Sternburg.
Pacquiao is raring to prove to one and all that it is premature to write him off at this stage in his Hall of Fame career.
“We’re not focusing on a knockout. Our focus this time time is to put more aggressiveness and throw a lot of punches and if the knockout comes it comes. I just want to prove that I still have the hunger and the killer instinct,” said Pacquiao.
Roach also has nothing but praise.
“Training is going very well. The Philippines worked out well. He’s really hungry. He’s sparred quite a few rounds. We had five different sparring partners and whatever Bradley brings to the table we’ll be ready for.”
Top Rank big boss Bob Arum is likewise drooling with excitement.
“This fight has been eagerly anticipated, a lot has been written about it, the two fighters are extraordinarily dedicated in their preparation. I really think this is going to be a monumental fight and I know from what I’m hearing from Freddie and Manny and watching at the Wild Card that Manny will be 100% prepared and will give a vintage Manny Pacquiao performance on April 12.”
Boring,lucky Bradley is in deep shit..
Marquez took all mannys best power shots over 4 fights and many years and none of those knocked him out.
Bradley will find a way to win (hopefully) and theres nothing "lucky" about his career.
Fighters can look as great as they want to be on the mitts and against sparting partners..bottom line is how they fair on the night and 40yr old marquez took everything pac threw at him and sparked him out..that has mentally crushed pac and bradley isnt a ligtweight rios type of fighter.
Both his victories in his biggest fights were highly controversial..Quote:

I'm soooooooooo tired of Bradley's shit. Why not fight someone young and worth a shit instead of the same old farts they put in front of him.
He got the benefit of a doubt in the 2nd and 3rd marquez fight but he still performed well enough to make a case with numerous knockdowns scored..Quote:

Bradley never did any of that.. he never landed a significant shot on pac and marquez.. never did he hurt them or knocked them down..
It was a half assed performance and a pair of bogus victories.. he was lucky bruh..
He beat Prov and Marquez are both clear wins for most people the writers and most fans there are few who think he lost. The pac was a gift but that happens in this sport and Bradley did have a injury i would like to see a health Bradley fight and i will get a chance to be rooting for him reminds me of Holyfeild well at least in the chin and hart department. I don't get the hate on the man he has achieved a lot and no one would ever think that he would of accomplished what he did i mean no ever gives the guy a shot.
