I'm picking Bradley

[Mars_ax]

Not at all. I've watched Bradleys last 3 fights this week and and don't see any way in hell he can beat Pacquiao, I think he was a very wise choice of opponent considering the chance people seem to be giving him.

After Pacquiao wins all the Pac haters will be saying Bradley was a handpicked chump.

He is definetly no chump, he just doesn't do any one thing well enough to have continued success against Manny, and he cant match him physically on any level aside from perhaps stamina. Mannys people knew what they were doing taking this fight after he looked so beatable against Marquez, Bradley can't really take all that much from that fight imo.

[Kirkland Laing]

Only way Breadley wins is if Pacquaio has slipped alarmingly. I think that he'll be competitive but Manny will be faster and land a lot more punches.

Winning is a possibility for Bradley and he is a rough customer but the fight has to be ugly for him to win. He has to get close to PAC with his style and if PAC circles him he'll pop him.

This is another nice picK from Pac and his team. A guy that can’t punch and who is not fighting at his weight. I hope this is another surprise like when he fought Marquez III. A fight he and his team thought it would be a walk in the park after seeing how he performed vs Mayweather. And then look what happened. A fight boxing experts, commentators, and fans knew Pac lost.

You can’t beat Pac on the cards no matter what, we know that. Pac would have to leave the ring on stretchers and maybe Tim could get the nod that way. But it is almost impossible for Tim to do that knowing how he can’t tickle Pac with those soft punches.

Pac by KO/TKO or UD.

As the fight nears, now everybody's picking Pac.




Is there anybody out there that is picking Bradley and... IF... Bradley loses, will you give credit to Pac instead of discrediting Bradley? (I should write down everybody's picks... except it would be too much work.)

a few years back Pac was being criticized for not fighting Bradley, they said this was "the" other guy outside of Mayweather and Marquez that can whooped him. Now he is garbage

I don't think he's garbage, but for one this fight is at 147 and not 140, and for 2 he looked like crap against a high Casamayor, and for third he has become a serial flip flopper since joining Top Rank going back on every opinion he had about boxing prior. So it was evident from the moment he signed with Top Rank and started acting completely different that he was gonna fight Pacquiao next. So I expect him to have a 'bad night' like Clottey did anyway. I think Pac will look spectacular in beating him and everyone will scream "Pacman's back!" and all this other kind of stuff. That's all this fight really is imo. An opportunity for Pacquiao to look spectacular so they can salvage the thoughts of a mayweather fight that died down after Pacquiao's performance against Marquez and so mainstream can say "Well after this performance it was obvious he was distracted when he fought Marquez I mean look what he did to Bradley!!" It's a 'saving face' fight, nothing more nothing less.

I say i'm swaying towards Bradley but really can't pick a winner. Must be a good thing, hopefully we are in for a good close fight.

If Pac wins full credit to him. If he wins in devastating fashion then the pressure is on Floyd to take the fight after a tough night with Cotto. It would certainly give him something to think about over the summer months if he has time on his hands...oh wait

I do not hate Pacquiao and would like it to be known now that I think Bradley is a hand picked chump. It's not entirely Manny's fault and Bradley is not really a chump, but uncle Bob Arum knows exactly which side his bread is buttered on. For a talented fighter like Pacquiao, which even his haters must be able to see, Bradley is quite a predictable and limited opponent. He doesn't hit hard enough and is not great punching whilst moving laterally or backwards, and so relying on his habits he will march right into Pacquiao's traps. There are not a lot of credible fights left for pacman, save Floyd or Marquez who would probably kick his ass again and get shafted by uncle Bob's mates.

Well thanks for clearing that up, up front.



At least if and when Pac wins... you can rightfully refer back to your pre-fight assessments. But Pac haters who are crowing that Bradley's going to kick his ass... better not slag on Bradley if he were to lose. Man up!

Good breakdown, completely agreed. That's what I've realized as well with Bradley, he doesn't set traps of his own and comes straight forward when he throws for the most part. He is a tough little fighter and his workrate is great, but he isn't powerful or fast enough to win exchanges with Manny and he won't be hard to find.

Think of it this way if someone gave you $1000000 and said you can bet Bradley or Pac , who would you pick?

im thinking every single person on this forum would pick Pac me included

but still when theres nothing on the line people are not so one side

[imp]

If Pac looks bad its the leg cramps or alex ariza not massaging those spots right.
Uncle bob is a multi billionaiire corrupt lawyer for a reason..

pac has lost three times already or is it six if you count the marquez fights.

Pac needs to leave bob arum and start making 100% of the money instead of having all these managers and hangers on!

[imp]

The fighter with the biggest head wins. Pacs head has increased in size for some reason and bradleys head has stayed the same.
Bradley just got to do what marquez and morales done but better.
Pac should win but the excuses from the camp is always growing:-

1. Religon issues-hates gays
2. Ariza
3. Leg cramps
4. Tax issues

Did you see bradleys last fight?
Roach knows what hes doing by picking these fighters.
