Juan Manuel Marquez vs Timothy Bradley
- Thread starter 2-0-Sixx
- Start date
I don't think that would be very wise. JMM is a very good counter puncher, he is at his absolute best when his opponent is aggressive (see Pacquiao, Diaz, Katsidis). He struggles when guys box (see Mayweather, Chris John).
Bradley tried to go "all out" against a much lesser opponent in Ruslan recently and Bradley damn near lost and was nearly knocked out.

I'm kinda leaning towards Juan Manuel Marquez...because Timothy Bradley has poor balance and gets himself out of position when he swings. Marquez never really loses position...and if Pacquiao and Provodnikov could connect then Marquez surely will. I see Bradley moving forward...trying to prove he can do better than Pacquiao and realizing he wont be favored to get a decision over a boxing hall of famer going for his 5th world title in a 5th weight class...making him one of the greatest Mexican fighters of all time. Timothy Bradley lack of power and having to come forward play very well into the style of Marquez...while I don't think he will be stopped I do think he will be outclassed...Bradley will have his moments because of his athleticism...and he will keep the fight close but Marquez will edge it out.

Timothy Bradley "USADA Drug Testing is involved or I walk..."
On October 12th, WBO welterweight champion Tim Bradley is scheduled to defend* his title against four division champion Juan Manuel Marquez at the Thomas and* Mack Center in Las Vegas.
There has been some controversy in regards to the random drug testing that* will be performed for the fight. Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum previously* stated that he has contracted the Nevada State Athletic Commission to handle the* testing while Bradley maintains that either USADA and/or VADA will handle the* testing. Bradley shed some more light on the situation during a recent* conversation he had with us on BoxingScene Radio.
"My contract says VADA USADA is going to be involved. There's nowhere that* says a third party is going to be involved. I spoke to (NSAC executive director)* Keith Kizer earlier this week, with Marquez and everybody on the phone, and I* let him know what my concerns were.
"I let them know that you guys are doing the testing that my promoter is* asking for you to do but in my contract it says USADA VADA. That's what it says* in my contract so that's what I'm going with. The whole state of Nevada getting* involved and doing their drug testing, that's fine but in my contract it still* says VADA USADA is going to be involved as well," Bradley stated.*
The 29-year-old Bradley said that he has no issues with the Nevada State* Athletic Commission but that he just wants USADA and/or VADA to be involved and* maintains that the fight won't happen if they aren't involved.*
"At the end of the day if that doesn't happen it is a breach of my* contract.* It is nothing against the Nevada State Commission.* It is* one of the best commissions in the world. They have been around for years but I* just want VADA and USADA involved as well.
"At this point if they are not going to be involved there is not going to be* a fight at all. Just put it that way.* If this guy doesn't get drug tested* at all by VADA or USADA then the fight's not going to happen," said* Bradley.*
BoxingScene Radio co-host Luis Sandoval asked Bradley point blank if he would* walk away from the fight, leaving millions of dollars on the table, if the drug* testing isn't performed up to his expectations.*
"I would definitely embrace walking away from this situation.* If* someone's not willing to take the test it just sounds real fishy to me.* I* am not going to fight someone at this level and risk everything if they* cheated.* Everybody has to be drug tested. If this guy's not tested the* fight won't happen," Bradley told BoxingScene Radio.

No way is Bradley Koing Marquez. you either got power or you dont,and Bradley does not have power to stop Marquez. if Bradley takes this it's through superior ringmanship and technique. with that said He might not got it.

I don't think there's a fighter out there that can stop Marquez. Seems like when he's hurt or knocked down he fights better. I think this is an easy fight for him. He's had to fight Manny 4 times and Bradley has no where near the movement or hand speed that Manny possesses, power wouldnt matter anyways lol
