Who'll Give Manny Problems? ML Says Bradley BEATS Pacman!
“I feel Bradley and Peterson can give Pacquiao some problems. Pacquiao has faced bigger guys with no defense. In addition, Pacquiao has only done well against boxer punchers (Mosley, Cotto), face first and straightforward fighters (Hatton, Margarito), and old fighters (Oscar, Mosley). The people he's really looked lousy against had boxing ability (Clottey and Marquez) or had a boxing game plan (Mosley). Bradley and Peterson can box, and Peterson has the defense as well as height/reach to give Pacquiao some problems. Bradley has the fast feet and head movement and nice jab to keep Pacquiao working. I'd say Peterson can give a competitive fight and a MAYBE upset, I say Bradley wipes him out in a clear decision. Styles make fights, and Pac has avoided boxers long enough, let's see a REAL challenge! I say 135 and 140lbers give Pac more problems than 147 or 154lbers b/c they are used to handling speedsters like Pacquiao.” –TSS reader MisterLee likes Bradley over Pacquiao
Another stellar year from our Forum crew, the best in this known universe. Results for Reader of the Year are still being tabulated. In a moment of weakness, I hired CJ Ross to help with the computation and, well, it didn’t go well. Happy New Year to the best and brightest amateur scribes! –Editor Mike
“Boxing is full of optical illusions. And I give Money May MAD props for doing a mix of Houdini and Marlin The Magician. Wow! Money May fought a club-fighting-like humbug in “The Cali Ghost.” And a hyped-up B fighter in Canelo. The promotions were grand to get eyeballs and easy impressionable minds behind those PPV screens. Because the live gates didn’t sell out.” –Radam isn’t sold on this being the year of Money May
“It must be said that even a wounded, war torn Martinez is still a more dangerous threat than Canelo for Cotto. The powers that be must be expecting a phenomenal turnout.” —Brown Sugar says that Martinez is a tougher out for Cotto than Canelo
