    Now that Bradley is with Top Rank, this fight is inevitable.


    Timothy Bradley is young, hungry, undefeated, physically potent, and (which will delight/disappoint many General Forum oddballs)... a black African-American!

    27-0 with wins over Devon Alexander, Lamont Peterson, Junior Witter and Kendall Holt.

    For those of us who believe that Floyd Mayweather will never step into a ring to face Manny Pacquiao, this is really a fight to get excited about, the best match-up on offer IMO.

    :bbb

    Can't tell whether you're being sarcastic or not, but yeah, if you were one of those people praising Floyd for fighting a 'young, hungry lion', then you should be pleased with Pac for also choosing a 'young, hungry lion' that's actually better, more skilled and more proven than the other one.

    But if you're me, you'll find this to be a disappointing alternative to the Mayweather fight. Pac has slowly edged closer and closer to the full random testing demands by Mayweather, and there's no reason for it not to be made after JMM. So come on, Floyd, 'if you the best, fight Pac next'.

    Bradley is better than Ortiz, has not been beaten by the likes of Maidana. I heard many Floyd and none Floyd fans before that they will not mind to see Pacquiao fight Bradley if the Mayweather fight would not happen. Where are these fans now? Hey Bradley is black young, hungry and undefeated.

    But of course this fight should not been talked at first place, if only Mayweather find his heart to finally face Pacquiao.

    Are you still harping on about the overrated Berto?

    Incase you've forgotten, Bradley was sitting on the number one spot during the whole time Ortiz was in his division. Whilst he [Ortiz] was quitting against Maidana and struggling to beat Peterson (a man who Bradley dealt with ease, by the way), Bradley was brushing aside his nearest 140 challengers - until Khan came about. He has always been a better fighter than Ortiz. So has Margarito (the one that Pacquiao fought). And Cotto. ****, even Clottey - who lost out on a split decision to Cotto - can have a good case for being a more solid opponent than a mentally-fragile Ortiz. But all this means nothing to you *****s, because the 'young, hungry lion' beat the incredible Andre Berto :)lol::rofl), and thus, was a bigger threat than all of Pacquiao's recent, notable opponents (despite not being as good as them :huh).

    A shame you can't convince him of that.

    Peterson drew with Ortiz. Bradley dominated Peterson.

    Ortiz was beaten within the distance by Maidana. Bradley is undefeated.

    Bradley was the number 1 lww when he and Ortiz were in the same division.

    Next.

    True. I'd have really liked to see that fight. Don't understand Bradley's reluctance at all.

    He probably would. But his decision to duck him doesn't help his cause. He'd have been better marketed as a Pac opponent and this fight would have been seen as more respectable (not that it isn't already), if Bradley emerged from that talented 140 devision as the clear, undisputed king of it.
