Seriously guys, Im sure that the results of the first Alexander/Bradley fight, left a bad taste in everybody's mouth...well at least it did for me. With that said, I didn't hear many people demanding a rematch, but Im sure we can all agree with that the bout was promoted and set up all wrong. It got little attention, and the location was a bummer.

At this point in time, Alexander has fought fought Bradley once, had a "less than pleasing" fight with Matthysse, and dominantly beat the odds against Maidana in his WW debut. Bardley is fighting Pacquiao this summer, so Im sure more people will know who he is, this time around.

Im not sure how Top Rank and Golden Boy will work this one out (if there's a chance) but I think people would want to see it again after all this time has passed. I believe the first fight was premature, but that's just me. I have more points, but I dont want to kill any responses.

Thoughts?

Yea if he's planning on getting hit he's not gonna go far. He did stun abregu a few times if I remember but they mostly looked like he was just startled he was hit

I dont think any of these fighters should be in the business of finding out if they can take their opponent's punch, but sadly, there are some crazy ones out there that dont care. For this to be his biggest fight, that should be the last risk that he's willing to take.

every fighter gets hit. some less than others....but they all feel each others punch.

I wasn't doubting that, but again, I was speaking of guys like Rios, Maidana, Margarito, etc., who can give two shits about taking a punch. Those guys have nothing to lose, unlike Bradley, who doesn't need to get the urge wanna feel a Pacquiao punch.

Bradley always makes a point of defending his headbutts by bringing up the "southpaw vs conventional fighter" explanation. Pac's a southpaw, but that straight left comes fast as lightning, and usually starts all of the trouble.

bradley has always had decent defense. i can't see him pulling a mayorga and giving pac free shots. he's much more refined than rios, maidana and margarito. i agree....pac is a great puncher...but he's been a great puncher against guys that weren't fully hydrated. bradley will be fully hydrated.
