These 2 pugs seem way too friendly toward each other.
Pacquiao figures to win this fight fairly easily, but it should be entertaining.

same as the cotto mayweather fight this is another one i'm really looking forward to and it is his first showing since the poor performance (loss) against Marquez... so should give us a good indication if he still has what it takes.
Hard to believe Manny won his first title at Flyweight... a living Legend that might not be fully appreciated until he has gone.![]()

Gotta sell the fight I guess saying things like “Bradley is dangerous…We are nervous for signing a fight with Bradley…We don’t know what can happen…” blah blah blah. Only Pacquiao, his team, and fans, make it seem as if it’s really the biggest threat out there. Really, what threat can a soft puncher bring?
Pacquiao by KO/TKO.
Not excited about this fight as much as the Cotto v Floyd fight but if it is on over here I may watch it. The fight may go to Sky or Primetime channel.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
"I'm just Glad Manny is fighting an undefeated fighter, who is more concerned about winning, than he is about protecting his record"Freddie Roach
"Well I'm looking at doing it [the Khan fight] maybe the end of the year or probably next year. I still think the fight is too premature."
"A lot of people say it's great money. Man, at the end of the day it's still really risky. At the end of the day, let's say I lose the fight, what happens then? I'm out of the sweepstakes with Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao" Timothy Bradley
Bradley may not be a knockout puncher but he certainly puts the heat on people. He forced Devon Alexander to mentally quit. He was battering Nate Campbell who had to pretend that blood was pouring into his eye in order to get out of the fight on a cut. Hre stopped Casamayor.
Watch his fight highlight with Peterson.
It's ridiculous to think this is an easy fight or that Bradley is not a dangerous fighter. He really is.
I don't think Timothy Bradley is exceptional in any one area, but he is a good all rounder a bit like Evander Holyfield. We've seen Timothy Bradley improve and we've seen many different sides to him.
We've seen him show heart against Kendall Holt, we've seen his boxing skills vs Peterson, Abregu, and we've seen he can get down and dirty when he needs to aka Nate Campbell fight.
I personally don't think he has the tools to beat Manny Pacquiao, but its an interesting fight and i'll be very interested in it.
I think he's a real live threat. I must admit I thought Marquez would be an easy night's work for Manny. This is the first fighter that I really thought might beat him.
I don't think an upset is out of the question here.
For me it's a much more interesting fight than Floyd vs Cotto which to me is a routine 12 win for Floyd, or a late ko if Cotto actually fights to win.
I don't see it Bilbo i don't think he has enough power or speed, he can box but it's not like he's exceptional boxer like Mayweather for example. He probably has enough tricks to last 12 rounds and do himself proud, but i don't see that he does anything that special that he can really threaten Pacquiao.
Gotta agree with you here Bilbo. I'm really looking forward to this fight. I think Bradley's movement can be a real pain in the ass for Pacquiao, he has an awkward defensive style with his ducking and head movement. He struggles with JMMs movement akways keeping him off balance so who knows. Pac throws alot of shots and reaches so leaves himself open for the counter if clever ebough. Pac was off balance something terrible in their last fight. Against Bradley for certain he wont be meeting someone who is plodding forward like Margarito, Clottey, Hatton or a dead De La Hoya. Even Cotto boxed well against Manny. It was getting involved that spoilt that for him.
I say Pacquiao takes this via Split decision with Bradley's stock still rising regardless.
Well, i think you've been watching too much porn Master and its warped your brain. I guess we dont have a huge amount of time till we find out. I don't see Cotto's lower output or speed to be anything for floyd to be bothered by. Bradley, on the other hand, while he doesn't have a huge punch, he has the volume, accuracy and defensive skills to cause Manny problems. Just sayin.
