    As soon as I heard that Bradley signed with Arum, I knew it was a matter of time before Bradley was PAC's token black fighter to prove that he doesn't dodge prime black fighters. Oh well, as long as he gets paid a decent amount to be a token, do your thing Tim.

    Pretty obnoxious comment here. Why would PAC need to prove himself against black fighters?

    Most of the good ones are latinos and he beat plenty of those lol

    Tim is a world class fighter though he's not a token anything. Dude is getting paid big money now in a sport where most boxers fail and make next to nothing. And he has a real promoter who's not gonna have fight in Detroit LMAO

    If Pac fights Bradley, he cherrypicked him.
    If Pac doesn't fight Bradley, he ducked him.

    Was there even a time when Pac doesn't cherrypick or duck someone?

    nope...but that goes for more than pac, no fighter can fight any other fighter without cherry picking, or not fight any other fighter without ducking. ****in Andre Ward cherry picked the entire super 6 and now he's ducking Bute, Hopkins, MArtinez, Pacquiao, Mayweather, Klitschko, Tyson, Ali, Marciano, Dempsey, and Bruce Lee.

    I can't speak for everyone else, but I am excited as hell for a Pac/Bradley fight. But I don't think it will happen. Arum and Roach wont risk it.

    Tim Bradley is a fantastic fighter! I hope Arum makes Pac-Bradley. It would be a highly competitive fight. Yeah I expect Pac to win but it will bring tons of Entertainment and action.. BRING IT!

    Absolutely. Financially, Bradley did the right thing by ducking Khan. And its gonna pay off dividends.

    I actually think Tim is more hungry and Pac is slowing down. Its going to be a fun fight.

    He gets crap because he doesn't fight very many slick fighters. He fought a boxer-puncher in Barrera and an aggressive counter-puncher in Marquez. People get stuck in the slick-black adage and most people are gullible enough to believe Manny fighting a black fighter = Manny fighting a slick fighter. Arum has brought this up before. (Manny not fighting slick fighters)

    Team Pac and them are gonna regret fightin' Timmy. Esp. coming off a not so stellar last performance anyways.

    Folks will see.

    He's sparred with Steve Forbes and he's had a lot of black fighters accompany him to the Philippines to train. Most notably Shawn Porter.

    But yes, it has been a problem for Manny to fight fighters who fight slick.

    Pac ducking black fighters was always a joke and everyone knew it.
