I'm picking Bradley

[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.

Ok fair enough... but what will you think if Bradley pulls off the upset? Not that he will... but what IF? Will it be "Bradley's better than I thought." or "Pac is crap."?

@Majesty if the Mayweather-Pacquiao idea has died down, it's because the fans have become disillusioned. It's still the biggest fight in combat sports. Mayweather's performance against Cotto made the fight more likely to happen in my opinion, however.

If you are alleging a conspiracy that is one thing. However, if you are making the point that Bradley has no shot, I disagree.

Size won't be factor here either. Manny is not a big welterweight. Bradley has fought at 147 before and looked good there. Bradley fought for a spot on the Olympics at 152. He'll manage 147 just fine.

Bradley is more versatile than a swarming, coming forward fighter, which I believe you are insinuating. He has a good defensive skill set and good feet work. He can also go 12 rounds.

This has the potential to be a very good fight.
