Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

Then i'll be collecting your money on those fight days bruh. Tim is clearly the 3rd best fighter at 147, and would be ranking ninjas at 140. Y'all will see when DS gets out of that contract and finally has dudes to fight. Remember he's 'technically' beat everyone he's been put in front of him, and thurman/swift/chino/lucas don't resemble Manny

But Thurman and Swift resemble Provodnikov with better boxing skill and Maidana and Matthysse will just attempt to steamroll Bradley. He doesnt have enough power to keep them off of him.

I would expect a Bradley vs Maidana matchup to look like Malignaggi vs Porter and Bradley vs Matthysse to look like Bradley vs Provodnikov

Bradley is the 3rd best 147lber by resume...not by talent imo.

If Zab and Alexander can get a decision over Matthysse, I'm sure Bradley can too. Bradley also beats Maidana in my book.

I'd pick Timmy over Swift, but that could go either way. I'd pick Thurman over Bradley, but that's another fight that could go either way as well.

Everybody seems to struggle a bit with Ruslan so I can't act like Bradley will lose to everybody because of that one fight.

He probably wont, but until he shows me he can fight a power puncher without falling all over the ring, looking like "Bambi on Ice" like he did against Manny/Provodnikov, then I have no choice to feel that way and bet against him against elite power punchers in Maidana/Matthysse and elite power punchers with boxing skill in Thurman/Garcia.

Im not picking Bradley over any of them in the predictions thread.

If Devin can beat Maidana then Bradley definitely has a good shot

Not this again


If Maidana can lose to the undisputed #1P4P fighter in the world by only 2 rounds, then he definitely has a good shot of beating Bradley then right?

Devon and Maidana fight nothing alike. Provodnikov and Maidana do, except Maidana is much bigger and hits just as hard with both hands. Plus he's a rougher, dirtier fighter, who punches from really awkward angles.

But, Bradleys boxing skill>>all those guys mentioned. He sparred with Matthysse I remember. There's individual pro's and cons for each fight, but I got #BradleyBunch taking them all

Of course you...and I respect that.

Bradley is a better boxer than both Maidana and Matthysse, but I dont agree with him being a better boxer than Thurman or Garcia.

I believe all 4 fights would be close matchups, with pros and cons with all of em, but I'd lean to everyone else.

Breh, did you not see I was the one responding to HIS triangle theory with another one?

That was MY response. Except Maidana and Provodnikov are closer in styles than Devon and Bradley are.

Maidana didnt even train with Garcia against Devon, but that fight keeps being brought up like it's relevant to anything Maidana does now.

Since that fight, Maidana has went on to KO Jesus-Soto Karass in 8 rounds, Angel Martinez in 3 rounds, Josesito Lopez in 6 rounds, beat the undefeated and #6 P4P ranked at the time Adrien Broner in spectacular fashion and dropping him twice (probably would've KO'd him in 2 if the ropes werent there to catch him on the way down), and then go on to take the undisputed, undefeated, #1 P4Per in the sport to the limit losing 7 rounds to 5.

Like comeon now, shyt is getting out of hand. If people cant see Robert Garcia is getting the max out of Marcos Maidana, and keep thinking of him as the guy who lost to Devon Alexander, he's gonna keep surprising people over and over.

He's legit a top 5 Welterweight right now.

Your #1 p4p undisputed Floyd analogy about him only beating Maidana by 2 rounds only makes a declining Floyd look bad with his brittle ass hands .

only reason Prov/Bradley was so close was because Bradley decided he wanted to slug it out.. As soon as he started boxing it was total domination.. and yes Prov and Maidana are similar which is why all Bradley has to do id box and it would be 12-0.. Bradley would make Maidana look stupid

But it's true. Maidana had a great showing against Floyd.

only reason Prov/Bradley was so close was because Bradley decided he wanted to slug it out.. As soon as he started boxing it was total domination.. and yes Prov and Maidana are similar which is why all Bradley has to do id box and it would be 12-0.. Bradley would make Maidana look stupid

Bradley ALWAYS gets pulled into a slugging/brawling match...it's just in his blood. The same way he claimed he was gonna "box" Manny, and WAS out boxing him at first, then he just started brawling when Manny started connecting with shots that were hurting him. He'd do the same with Maidana once he gets caught and rocked.
