    Damaged goods versus young, hungry lion. Pacquiao leftover, versus the coward who was scared of Khan. They said all kinds of crap Reg. It won't stop.

    Firstly, this will not be Floyd's last fight. Secondly, Bradley can't crack a ****'n egg. Pacman will walk right through him and likely stop him.

    Outside of JMM and Floyd (guys who weren't available), who can you see giving Pac more problems?

    Damaged goods Cotto and Timid Tim, both fights are poor consolation prizes for the megafight we couldn't have

    Pac-Bradley looks like the lesser mismatch, but neither Tim or Cotto should really give them trouble

    His head can be dangerous, though. Pretty much the only thing Pac needs to worry about

    The problem with Bradley in this fight is that he's going to run.

    This won't be a fan friendly fight.

    Nobody wants to see Pac in a boxing match. They want to see Pac beat the **** outta someone.

    Bradley probably doesn't have the counterpunching ability of JMM, but he's going to try...

    And then he'll probably start running.

    Maybe I'm wrong, but I got serious doubts.

    If Bradley tries to fight Pac, he gets ****ed up, so I guess I can't blame him...

    But damn...except for JMM or guys like Margarito, most everybody else turns into a *****.

    Same thing is happening to Sergio Martinez these days.

    Out of available opponents @ the time? Ortiz, Khan, perhaps even Cotto (if team pac didn't try to drain him again).

    But you words were "ultimate test". That would be Canelo, Martinez, even brain damaged P. Williams (mainly due to height).

    How do you think he'll do it?

    What sort of gameplan will he utilize?

    Absolute nonsense.

    Cotto is worse off than what he was back in 2009. Ortiz is a face-first slugger that would play right into Pac's hands and be brutalized in 6 rounds. Khan, ok I admit, his running and insistence on keeping the fight at range, could pose problems. But he's a GBP fighter, tutored by the same trainer, and never was a likely opponent. But even then....

    ....Bradley has a better shot than all of them. I've predicted him to win. Hence the "ultimate test" comment.

    I would say Mayweather vs Ortiz was a more dangerous fight because Oritz is a young hungry lion :D


    Neither is Cotto for Floyd nor is Bradley for Pac. Considering Mayweahter said he "might" fight Martinez at 160lbs or get a belt there (then again this is Floyd speaking and he will say whatever his fans want to hear) it seems that Mayweather, according to his words, has no problem with moving up. As for Pac he has stated, after the Margarito fight, that 147lbs is his limit. So if the opponents were to be reversed Pac/Cotto at 154 and Mayweather/Bradley at 147 I would say Pac. But as we all know both Pac and Mayweather don't like to take much risk.

    Canelo? :yep ONLY if it were to take place at 154lbs and even then I would favor Pac easily. At 150 catchweight Pac would murder a drained unresponsive Canelo. Pac's ultimate test is Mayweather and viceversa.
