I think its about even I'd give a slight edge to Pacquiao-Bradley II right now Alvarez is a tougher fighter than Bradley and a more dominant showing but Pacquiao is closer to shot than Mayweather. Is it just me though or do people find it a bit ludicrous that Pacquiao-Bradley II is considered a fight between two top P4P fighters statistically it seems impossible. If your going to say Bradley was unbeaten then your basically acknowledging Pacquiao lost Marquez III, Bradley I, & Marquez IV back to back to back and P4P or not you can't lose three in a row to fighters your favoured to beat that are unranked in your division and still be Top 10 P4P If you think Pacquiao won fight I then your pretty much agreeing with the thought that Bradley lost to Pacquiao, Provodnikov, and in certain cases Marquez in three straight fight which would knock Bradley off the P4P list. It's no solid argument that can be made that they were/are both P4P now or before either fight
doesnt matter if pac beat bradley officially in part 1. it just means bradley only lost to pac, and the 2nd fight proved the first isnt a fluke. bradley-provo, pac-macne3 ,all close. pac-bradley 1 was blatant robbery, only fools would argue otherwise. pedjr is never that good. if he is, he would be confident enough not to ask for c/w. i mean why drained a guy who went life and death with trout whose only claim to fame was going life and death with double-damaged himself? now pedjr got raped by a caveman. and when fyou factor pac got knfo 2 fights prior, the gap just widens.
Come again? What part of thinking Bradley was unbeaten means Pac had to have lost Marquez III? Bradley had nothing to do with that fight. Again your logic eludes me… How does Bradley losing to Pacquiao in their first fight necessitate him also losing to Marquez and Provodnikov..? This is off topic- but do you have a similar problem with the CW in Pac's Cotto/Margarito fights?
More or less. Canelo's only really elite victory was over Trout and that was even somewhat dubious. Press row had the fight like 60/40 for Alvarez.
umm, pac wasnt established at the ww vs. cotto. pedjr is a champion at 154. margarito was career ww, 150 actually favored him instead of a fight at ww. and pac has never fought at sww and it being his 8div. i will have no problem if pedjr will ask for c/w in his 8th div either.
Pacquiao's win over Bradley is much better.. If only Canelo had brought the fight to Mayweather just like Bradley did to Pacquiao he could have won.. Just take a look at hat Maidana did, imagine Canelo who is almost much better in all aspects of the game..
again the overwhelming opinion by the same fans who now claim Bradley was P4P #2 during the second fight claim he lost to Pacquiao & Provodnikov and even some Marquez as well Bradley was P4P #10 going into the first fight so if you think he lost that it automatically removes him, then you factor in the Provodnikov fight and its moves him even further down. Really its all about consistency I'd rate Pacquiao-Bradley II slightly over Mayweather-Alvarez because Pacquiao was arguably coming off three losses in a row and Bradley is the most prime fighter Pacquiao has ever fought. Mayweather hasn't really slipped at all Alvarez was just another dominate performace over a young champ. As much as people dont wont to admit it Pacquiao isn't on Mayweather's level so a win over a tougher Alvarez isn't as big. Don't believe that just look at the even the Maidana fight it looked rough but featherfisted Bradley landed more damaging shots in fight II knocking Pacquiao off balance a few times while Maidana who is a puncher never landed any memorable shots in that entire fight. Yet Bradley II is considered more dominant because Mayweather didn't sweep Maidana 12-0.
Actually Pacquiao vs Bradley is better win, but I'll pick Mayweather vs Canelo just to **** *******s off.:hey
Canelo just taking off, if he beats Lara he's still not on par with Bradley IMO. Takes alot of nerve, intelligence, and guts to outbox someone like Jmm or Pacman. Pacs win over Bradley is better.
I voted for FMJ. Even though Pac should have gotten the decision the first time around it took him 2 times to dominate an opponent. If Saul and Tim fought I would put my money on Alvarez.
