    One of the few times I agree with you, but Floyd - Canelo is a bigger mismatch than this. Bradley is at least a somewhat established champion with an 0 record, Canelo is way too green to fight Floyd. He had trouble with Alfonso Gomez in his last fight.

    Pacquiao gave Marquez his highest PPV to date, don't be delusional please. Before fighting Marquez, Pacquiao was still making millions in PPVs. Marquez' highest PPV before that fight was Mayweather and it was Mayweather behind the PPV numbers. I scored it for Marquez in a tough close fight though can understand anyone that scored it a draw or for Pacquiao. Officially he lost and can't demand more money for it. Besides, demanding more money is all based on draw power and Pacquiao is the big name here.

    You are beyond clueless if you think Bradley's punches are predictable and can be seen from a mile away. Something tells me you have only seen Bradley vs Casamayor. Youtube and a popcorn are your friends in this case, though I'm not sure you will understand what leg movement, feinting and so on means when you see it and I sure as hell won't bother to explain it.

    "Defensive fighter"? How is Bradley a defensive fighter?

    Floyd-Canelo will do huge, HUGE PPV #'s!
    Canelo is a arguably the most popular active fighter amongst Mexican fans.

    Gomez wasn't his last fight, and did he not TKO Gomez?

    Yeah, but he struggled with him. We're talkign about Alfonso Gomez here, who Cotto played around with.

    Let's be honest, Canelo wasn't even fighting him seriously. He even tried that horrible shoulder roll for a whole round. That **** was practice.

    Of course it's a worse mismatch for you. You **** on anything Floyd does when he's compared to Pac.

    Canelo has more professional fights. And more at his current weight class, compared to where Pac will fight Bradley at.

    Bradley has 3 fights above 140 since May 2006.

    Canelo has 13 fights above 147 since 2007.

    To be fair, almost everyone thought so including myself. I only had one person tell me it will be a close fight as we discussed this fight. I fully expected Pacquiao to blow Marquez away within 5 rounds or 6 at most.

    Good fight because Canelo is big with size and power is dangerous and undefeated. Like I said this fight with do 1.5 million + in PPVs it will be a huge seller and will have a lot of hype around it. Pac-Bradley is great as well and I take my hat off to Pac for facing a high risk low reward guy like Bradley. Bradley isn't a push over and will bring it, dangerous fight for Pac.

    Bradley's a decent fighter, but I don't see him having much of a chance against Pac. He doesn't have a lot of punching power, he's not particuarlly fast, and style-wise I don't see him presenting any problems either. Bradley fights kind of like a aggressive mexican fighter, with some headmovement thrown in. He has some fundementals flaws too like pulling his punches back and throwing wide hooks, which Pacquiao will exploit. I think Pac will stop him at some point, maybe even KO him.

    Because he fights in spurts and adapts. When he can go aggressive he'll take the opportunity and when he doesn't he could go defensive and counter. That's how he fights. Bradley is an unpredictable fighter and any unpredictable fighter is almost impossible to easily beat. It has to be an ugly fight regardless of who wins.

    And Bradley looked amazing vs Abregu huh? And who wants to bet Pac won't go below 147.
