Bradely's got no momentum right now, and a dominant win over old Casamayor won't bring either. I think Arum will use Bradely as a barganing chip, but he might want to promote him in a few fights before setting him up with Manny.
I want to see pac vs floyd as well and dislike bob arum. But why do you guys jump on every rumour like its already over. The fight can still happen next, bradley being the back up plan is oki,he is the best possible back up plan at this point at 147 and below and he can even be an opponent in late 2012 but the big fight should be next, there are no reasons for it to definitely not happen, lets have some faith that it will work out after november.
I like Bradley, and I think he's a solid fighter, and has earned the right to have this fight. I don't think he can win, but I won't ***** about him getting an opportunity. That being said, this will be the second consecutive fight that Manny will have lined up prior to his current fight going off, which is cheating fans out of THE fight.
Bradley is a good fight, probably 3rd best if not Sergio (99% not gonna happen) or Floyd. I don't really blame manny the way Floyd fans would by saying he's outright "ducking" but I prefer that he stand up to Arum if he really wants to please the fans. Don't get me wrong, I think it should be a dual effort and Floyd should call him out too.
the "i don't need this fight" attitude by both is extremely frustrating and is blood to arum. the negotiations may turn out weak if both maintain the same attitude if pac wins over jmm. and arum will be right there with his back up plan already cooked up
That's really the only problem that I have with the fight. Bradley is a good fighter will show up to win and not lay down. He could also give Pac hell on the inside.
Floyd has called out Manny. Manny has never called out Floyd. **** bradley@147 he is a champ at,140lb. Manny needs to MAN up to Arum and say get me the Floyd fight. He will get softball ass questions after the Marquez fight and pretend to not speak english well watch what I teel you. I CALL BULL****
He did, but then he took it back. "I never said that, don't put words in my mouth" :huh He also had the chance in the post fight interview but....
This man literally went to war for this country, he's fought his ****ing ass off to have this opportunity, he's a family man and appears to be a character guy...I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't try to imply that I don't respect Bradley as a man and fighter, I have plenty of respect for Tim. That being said, the man isn't "slick"...simple as that.
Maywaether asks manny to "take the test". The first negotiations fall through. Second negotiations seem a real cluster****with some stating they never took place. Floyd gets the worse of it. No third negotiations since right after Mosley they pic Marquez. Some time later Maywaether takes on Ortiz. 1-1-1 ? It seems to me that Arum and Pacquiaos folk have no intentions of fighting Floyd. Pacquiaos advisor or who ever the **** that leach guy is, he said that they turned down Marquez (3rd match) because they had nothing to prove Shows you Pacquiao aint in control of the picking. Now they(Arum) seem to have a eye on Bradley and they made sure that if Marquez wins there will be a fourth contest. If Marquez wins there will be a rematch and if thats a close Pac win then we will have another one. :|
