    Bob Arum: Rios Provodnikov? Naaaaaa, who wants to see that? I'm gonna make Pac Bradley 3. Yeah, that's the fight we need.

    But seriously, folks, I'd rather see Pac Khan, see if Manny can KO him faster than Conor McGregor did Aldo.

    Is there anyone not angry over this?

    They're too busy accusing Haymon of making mismatches to complain about this mismatch.

    Would have preferred Crawford and I still kind of think that fight takes place as I don't think Pac will retire after this.

    The obvious pick here is Pac via Dec. Any time Bradley gets hit, he is going to want to come back and make up for those points. That will be his undoing, just like the first two fights. He's simply too slow for that and Pac's unorthodox footwork will make it difficult. I thought Tim had some success in both prior fights, but he kept easing up to close out the rounds. Pac is very adept at stealing rounds as well as evidenced by JMM 3, so Bradley will need to look to pour it on in the last 30 sec to min of every round. Anything he can do to try and sway the scoring.

    Still, Pac by UD. A Bradley win would only ensure a 4th fight and I'd rather see Tim test himself against the other WW's.

    Bradley fought very well with his new trainer his last time out. I think some people like me think he will dominate Pac which could be interesting in terms of how if affects future potential fights.

    ...because Berto is the only logical opponent you can come up with...

    If Pac is cashing out, cool, he deserves it. But don't try to dress it up or justify it by using Mayweather vs. Berto.

    Come on dude, you easily get butt-hurt when it comes to Mayweather. There's nothing wrong with comparing it to May-Berto if it indeed is Pac's last fight.

    I don't think either of them should be constantly compared. For the record, I got banned briefly over that stupid Mayweather Berto garbage. I don't get butt hurt, nothing emotional involved in this. I just point out when someone says something dumb. Mayweather deserves A LOT of criticism, and I've given him plenty, but people are irrational.

    But my point, Floyd cherry picking his last fight is absolutely nothing that can be used to justify Pac's poor selection. Bradley > Berto, but both terrible opponents at this time, respectively.

    And to be clear...

    1) Mayweather Berto was a JOKE and a horrible way to go out.
    2) Pacquiao vs Bradley is not a bad fight, but 3 times? Zzz zzz
    3) Mayweather vs Berto has NOTHING to do with Pacquiao vs Bradley.
