He is still young and may continue to improve. What do you guys think of he's chances against the elite?
After watching the fight last night, i'm convinced that he's not ready for either of them. He couldn't do much damage against Alexander, so how could he do against Floyd who has the best defense in boxing? I also can't see him getting off too many shots on Pac, his speed and movement would be too much. We are all assuming he's gonna fight Kahn next and i think Khan beats him in UD.
I think he'll win a decision over Khan.Quote:

I think he lossing a wide ud to Floyd.
Pac stops in him 8.
He knocks Khan out with his head ;D
I don't even think he beats Khan. So not very well.
With no head clash. Guaranteed Floyd or Pac beats him.
Bradley is an underrated fighter, he has fought very good competition and has become an established name. He just needs to beat Khan and then he is good enough to take on Pac man or Floyd because he has fought the best competition possible. Although I would prefer him to beat Berto at welter to get his big shot.
That would be a great fighter, Berto vs Bradley.Quote:

He wouldn't be competitive against either fighter.
Mayweather would absolutely destroy him with his counter-punching and defense, and if he committed to it I have no doubts that he'd stop Bradley in the later rounds.
Pacquiao would just obliterate him. It would be on the scale of Mayweather - Gatti. I'd be amazed if Bradley saw the 5th round.
I wonder where Gary Shaw gonna watch when Bradley fights Pac. Will he be in the ringside or in the locker room?
He could just wait for Bradley in the emergency room, because that's where he's headed if he fights Pacquiao.Quote:

I think he looses to both, and there is no shame in that. problem is he's basically a skilled pressure fighter, but without the pop to go along with it. I think pac just wouldn't have any respect for bradley's punches and just tee off and probably stop bradley in 7 or 8, and floyd would dance his way to a ud or something. Bradley just needs to stay at 140 and make his own name and legacy there, plenty of decent foes at the weight to build on.

As for Floyd stopping manny?....Can't see it happeneing......In truth if they fought it would almost certainly be a dull fight....Floyd would lay on the ropes and Manny would not connect clean often.....Really is a Pick Em fight....The longer Floyd waits around the more the odds go in Mannjy's favor....Does not matter how skilled you are father time catches up with you and a style like floyds depends on timing.....Ring rust will screw timing up...Manny has not had the layoffs....Still at this point I could not pick a winner but for anyone to say either would dominate the other is simply fan talk
I don't think Mayweather will fight again ever.
Bradley is a good all rounder with a fairly solid punch, just too predictable and regimented to beat the very best.
I have to completely agree. Bradley is too predictable for PBF and doesn't hit hard enough to deter Pac from coming right at him. Plus, that uppercut is there all night for Pac to land. After seeing last night's fight I see no reason why either guy would want to step up to that elite level yet. Bradley has the heart of an elite fighter and Alexander needs to go back to the drawing board for a few years and work on some things. He is still very young so no rush. Berto/Bradley may be a okay but still not quite valid. I think the 140s should just fight each other and leave the welterweights alone. I see no proven reason for (Bradley,Khan,or Alexander) to try their hand there yet.
I think a fight between him and Pacquiao would be interesting, he's cagey and hard to it, I would favor Pacquiao, but Bradley would give him all sorts of trouble with that style.
I think Mayweather would do better because of his defense, he could stay a step back, and wait for Bradley to expose himself then get in, and back out.
Mayweather would take the absolute piss out of him. I mean I like Tim but I would laugh at Floyd if he ever took that fight. Pacquiao too.
Bradley ready for Pacquiao, Mayweather - Boxing - Yahoo! Sports
i think Bradley has his own opinion ;D
Bradley is pretty fast, and def brings a lot of pressure so he could give Floyd a bit of a rough fight.
I'd say it would be similar to Floyd's fights with Chop Chop Corley and Zab Judah years ago.
Bradley would have his moments and might sting Floyd, but Floyd would win 8-4 or more likely 10-2.
Maybe even stop Bradley late.
Floyds just too good, too talented, too seasoned, and too much for Bradley.
He would make Floyd work though and give him a good fight I'd imagine.
Pacquaio would stop Bradley early as Bradley's style would play right into his hands.
I think he could be on top for a long time. I think his main problem is the division really isn't very strong at the mo. After a fight with Khan there really isn't much of interest in there.
Theres still Ortiz, Maidana, and Kotelnik AND Zab Judah if he can pull his head out of his ass.Quote:

No offense taken.Quote:
