    I admitt this is a good fight, Its just really hard for me to get excited, and even support, fights of Pacs and Mayweathers knowing how blatently they are avoiding eachother.

    - two best fighters in the world - check
    - two genuine ATG's, in the same weight class - check
    - two of the biggest names in the sport, period - check
    - the fight would be the biggest fight in the history of this sport - check
    - they would both get their biggest payday of their life - check

    and this fight isnt happening?

    Its like if they were on the street, and mayweather drew a line on the ground and said, cross this line and ill whoop your ass, (when he could just not draw the line, and actually just fight) and Pac, wont cross that line to actually fight him. So they both stay on their sides of the line, and meanwhile it becomes obvious the two dont actually want to fight eachother. Which, imo, is sad to me, that the two best fighters in the world, dont want to beat the other. Its kinda embarresing for boxing, imo. Guys like Vargas, Tyson, Morales, would never allow something like this to not go down.

    Even with good secondary fights, im just too bitter about it all to care.

    I've given up on pac v floyd. It makes boxing much more enjoyable. Floyd v ortiz, pac v brad all good fights.

    this is a good fight, i don't know whats the problem with other people. Bradley is an undefeated guy and a great fighter. You have to be a hater if you're not liking this at all. This is a good scrap for any boxing fan, this would be as good if money decides to fight khan.

    Completely agree; for me it seems silly letting one fight prevent every other fight seeming good and exciting.

    It's a very good fight, if the JMM fight is close I'd rather see a Pac-JMM 4. Obviously would prefer Pac-FMJ

    Ortiz had beaten the "best of the rest" welterweight in Berto.

    Bradley beat Abregu....

    I think its much better than his last three. Young and hungry (I know :lol:) has got to be be better than Mosley off a bad performance and a guy who imo has never accomplished anything due to being a cheat.

    Pacman will destroy this guy but then who else is there? Only Khan and Mayweather and GBP will match them together next year.

    Mayweather & Pacquiao should be FORCED to fight each other by public pressure on BOTH fighters, fans getting excited about ANY other match-ups involving either guy are what is basically giving 1 or both of these men the go-ahead to keep avoiding this thing.

    Pac vs anybody other than Mayweather is a disgrace.
    Floyd vs anybody other Pacquiao is a disgrace.

    Its THAT simple !!!!

    The second sentence can only be a tasteless joke. Bradley has a unique body shape and style that allows him to get advantages against opponents. He is so short and so compact, he sneaks his head inside and between his opponents shoulders so how can they punch back at him while he's unloading with both arms? I have noticed this since the Junior Witter title win until this last fight with Alexander. Pac's tools are much more power, much more mobility, faster hands and commitment to make this guy do0n't last more than 8 rounds.
