I forgot, it's 2013. No one wants to avenge losses anymore or prove that they are the better man after winning a bogus decision.

I agree.

-IMO after such a devastating KO, Pac should come back against a fairly light puncher like Bradley. i.e. If he gets KOed again (say by Marquez or Rios) his career is fked.

-Bradley's profile is a little higher now (even if we question his abilty more than ever) So the fight generates a little more interest (and $) than before.

-Pac erases the "loss", gets back his belt (and his confidence) and is ready to move on to bigger and better things.

Now that I think of it, Provodnikov is tailor-made for Pacquiao. Fight Provo in Manila as a tune-up or something, then fight Bradley.

The first Bradley fight was a one-sided ass kicking; there are too many good, young fighters coming up that could prove to be an interesting test. Rios would be far more interesting.

Im rooting for Bradley in this one
If he fought Bradley, he's cherry picking and ducking Marquez. If he fights Marquez, he's cherry picking and ducking Bradley. That said, how is someone you pick to knock him out a "cherry pick"?

If Pac had 1/4 of a brain he would retire. I guess Marquez doesn't want to fight him now. There is no point in Gayweather fighting him now. Unless Pac can find another overrated fighter who is hispanic to fight 5 times he should retire.

Personally I had it 7-5 for pacman. Pacman was on cruise control the latter part of the fight. Bradley was showing more willness to win at the end. Those who scored it 11-1 ot 12-0 are bias fans.

Yes, Let's continue to reward the "Loser" of arguably 3 straight fights with a title shot.

Half a brain ??? That's stretching it. Talk to my promoter. It doesn't matter. He is done. A swarmer with no chin has no future or a very limited one.

paq needs to fight jmm.

he needs to make the most amount of money in the least amount of time.

history says that only a small percentage of guys come back from that kind of brutal ko...especailly at his age and particular point in his career.

both paq and jmm would each earn 20+mm on a fifth fight which would probably be the biggest fight ever in mexico city.

20 mil each --- no good. JMM has got to get more. At least the same ratio that he got in prior PAC fights, but in reverse.

Pac does not choose who he fights.

Amazing how many people want PAcquiao to retire - I could understand if they were concerned for his health but these are Flomos mostly. You have to wonder why that is...lol

If he's physically fully recovered he deserves to see if he still has it. A fight with Marquez is the only way to go for both guys. Marquez would be stupid not to fight him with the money on offer - he won't get 1/3 of that fighting Bradley
