Why would Pac take the Floyd fight without settling his score with Bradley?

    I don't get that. Am I the only one who feels he should take out that scrub first?

    Yes, for the most part, you are. But of course there's a bunch of idiots here who will agree with you.

    So you think Pac going into this mega fight was a loss (albeit, a tainted one) is better than him avenging the Bradley fight?

    No one really cares about things like that. Did Hagler make Duran avenge his defeat? Did Floyd make Shane go back and beat Winky? Or did he make DLH beat Hopkins first? Nope. Because that type of stuff, really isn't what makes or breaks fights.

    Because if he loses again he can pretty much kiss the Floyd fight goodbye.

    I see what you are saying, but Shane was coming off a big win against Margarito before he fought him. A lot of those examples have a time element in them too. Floyd fought DLH years after the Hopkins loss.

    I kinda disagree with your argument. I mean, if Pac had fought let's say, theoretically, twice by now and won both, then I would agree with your argument.

    Since everyone seens Pac vs., Bradley as one of the worst decisions, that pretty much renders the actual result moot. People just want Pac. vs. Floyd after this much bull****. And a terrible decision shouldn't factor in a continued delay.

    Spot on.They can't risk another loss so its better to take the money fight and then go and seek revenge with Bradley

    You never know...

    Maybe they're not willing to risk it.

    I guess. I feel Pac would take him out in a rematch. He wouldn't let the judges touch it.

    because when he gets robbed again no point in the Mayweather fight, Bob Arum robbed him then straight away said fight Marquez so that guarantees he gotta fight 2 fights before a Floyd fight, if he rematched Bradley in November he'd say **** a Marquez fight

    I very much doubt any judge will try and rob Pacquiao again against Bradley, who simply doesn't have the tools to beat Pacquaio by any other method than blind judging.

    Straight in with the Mayweather fight.. Mayweather will put him into retirement then he can concentrate on being a politician.
    Pac since coming of the peds just isnt the same fighter anymore..
