    Thats a fair point to make, though Clottey was option B when the Floyd fight fell through, Bradley would deserve a bigger slice of the pie than Josh got.

    I'd really like to see this fight & hope it happens. Who is Timmy promoted by these days?

    The Bobfather, which is what makes the matchup fairly likely.

    Cheers :good

    Would this be a catchweight? A 140 title bout? A super diamond world title at 147?

    I dont like the scene,it is hard to use.Bradley is decent but Pac is a few levels above.Pac just has too much in all areas for Bradley.One sided beating.

    I still regard Pacquiao as a whole different animal to Bradley.

    He'd be my heavy favourite in this one. I wouldn't give Bradley much of a shout at all.

    Nor me.

    I think Pacquiao has slipped a tad but he was up against his worst nightmare last time out, and the fight was still reasonably close.

    Bradley I think plays into Manny's hands as he likes to lead more than a Marquez does.

    Most people thought Nacho was off his rocker when he said that Pac is easier to beat as a more refined fighter, these days it's taken as law..... but I think the kind of fighters that can beat Manny are the more technical type fighters. Bradley is a reasonable technician but I don't see him having the anticipation skills required to win this fight.

    same as the hatton malignaggi fight

    bradley has the better skills and a lot of heart

    but would get over powered

    My opinion hasn't changed from the Pacman-Marquez fight. Pac still beats him

    In a fight that happened 3 years ago where he was a big underdog and won by a fairly wide margin to most. If were going by that reckoning Pac shouldn't be at WW look at his glassbody at flyweight.....

    It's not like Witter was a complete pushover at that point. And Bradley was away by home, in with an awkward puncher in his first major test.

    He beat Witter by more than four points as well IMO, I went 117-111 and he put Witter on his arse. Whatever the case, it's not a great point of reference IMO.

    Agreed. When Bradley is outdone by speed or range he tends to take the front foot and be aggressive (Alexander, Holt etc) and this would allow Pac to box him with his fast hands and hard shots. At worst, he gets buried into the canvas and at best he loses a decision.
