    That's not why it won't happen. It won't happen because Valero is one dangerous, badass mofo and Pac's not going to fight him until he can get big money for it. I don't blame him.

    **** Guzman. Ran from Soto all night, didn't make weight for Nate... he can sit on a dick as far as I'm concerned.

    Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind seeing Nate get a big money fight before he bows out, and he would make for a very beatable opponent with good name recognition for Pac.

    Bradley is undefeated himself and is a world champion at 140 lbs where pacquiao fight. Plus all these talk about pac not facing a black fighter can come to an end.

    a bradley win is more impressive than a valero win in my opinion. Bradley has beaten witter and holt while valero continue to fight nobodies.

    Guys you won't believe what I am going to say, but believe it...

    Pac and Roach should fight Miguel Cotto. That's right !!!

    Cotto had a dickens of a time getting through Tores' left. And Tores is no where near the speed of Pac.

    I don't think Cotto has mastered quick powerful southpaws. I think Pac would Ko Cotto early too. And Pac KOing Cotto, would scare the heck out of PBF. He wouldn't show up for sure to fight PAc, if Pac destroyed Cotto.

    Well he is coming back to the states in june to watch cotto vs clottey. This could be his next fight but this is no tune up. Plus cotto already said he is willing to fight pacquiao at a catchweight.

    He does have the style to prepare pac for floyd but i doubt it will happen. I think bradley fight will be next for pac should he choose to have one more fight before a mega fight later on this year.

    Bradley. I'm not too sure about Valero. Valero is a hard puncher but he is untested and Pacquiao will most likely kick his ass. No offense to the Valero fans.

    Bradley is clearly a B class fighter. B+ at best, def not an elite. He would be an alright tuneup but not too many people would be interested in that fight. Besides Bradley.

    Well this is a tune up so obviously he aint gonna fight an A class fighter. I still think bradley can give him a better fight than valero. Valero hasn't proven anything. He has KO power that's it. That aint enough to beat pacquiao. roach wanted pacquiao to fight so he wont be so rusty comes nov-dec whenever his next big fight happens.

    This fight can be on regular HBO instead of PPV. It's time for arum to give the fight fans a break with all these top rank PPV crap. Pavlik and cotto fights were whack. It wasn't PPV material.
