    Oscar and GBP seem to just be sacrificing their young "Golden Boys" to Floyd.

    Fact remains at 154 canelo will be coming in over 160 pounds, he has a punchers chance at best.

    What the **** does bradley have against pac? What is he gonna do, headbutt him to death :lol:

    Floyds in a no win situation here IMO,went for the less tested one over the 'damaged goods' one,although I don't think the cotto fight would of happened

    3rd choice opponent for khan.

    4th choice for pac.

    Even without facing each other, both could have picked better more meaningful fights than they have done.

    I'd have prefered floyd v cotto and pac v jmm/cotto.

    I can't believe people would want to see cotto vs floy/pac over these fights, these are both way better than cotto who can still look great against b level or below but when it comes to elite guys he cannot hang. not saying bradley or alvarez is going to win but at least there's question marks around those guys and they're both young hungry and ambitious champs... alvarez's size and power and bradley's speed and relentlessness could have some success, we don't know. With Cotto we know the deal, we've seen him fade in recent years, he's not the same since the margo fight and even worse since the first pac fight where he took another horrible beating and got his heart stolen. We've seen Cotto get his ass kicked by pac and not win a significant fight vs a decent opponent since....he's done nothing to show he's gotten any better than he was vs Pac the first time, in fact that fight took a lot out of him.....when you get to him he goes into survival mode. Alvarez and Bradley are young, will die trying and have certain things that could trouble mayweather/pac. Pacs gonna steamroll Bradley though and Maywetaher will win by wide decision vs Alvarez.

    Floyd vs Canelo was going to happen at some point anyway.

    I tell you both top p4pounders are in serious situations if this comes to be the. Bradley will give all the trouble Manny can handle specially under the 147 pounds limit and Canelo will be a serious and always dangerous man to be in there with anyone including Money Mayweather.

    I'm not sure if you're aware of what you're doing, but you're giving Pacquiao the ultimate compliments by stating a young, prime, undefeated fighter who actually comes to FIGHT has absolutely zero chance against a guy like Pac who you claim has fought nothing but old, shot, weight drained fighters. LOL.

    Which is it? How can he be great and trash at the same time? :huh
