    "I want to fight the best fighter in the world and I want to see if I can beat him. Manny is human just like I am. I want to see if I can beat him. All I ask is an opportunity. What do I have to do? Jump off a building? I worked my butt off to get to the number one spot just to fight him. But I don't want to see Joshua Clottey and Pacquiao. It's a joke. Miguel Cotto beat Clottey, and Pacquiao crushed Cotto. So what do you think Pacquioa will do to Clottey?"

    lets see Bradley step up to Cotto and see how he handles him. Bradley hasn't earned the right to say that Clottey vs Pac is a joke. I'd put my money on Clottey beating Bradley, regardless of the outcome on saturday

    I would have rather that Pac fight Bradley too, but Clottey is a more dangerous fight, even though Pac vs Bradley would be more meaningful

    I understand what hes saying and i wish it was Bradley vs Pac too, but the Cotto/Clottey fight has nothing to do with Pac/Clottey

    Just like Vargas vs Wright and Tito vs Vargas had nothing to do with Winky vs Tito

    or

    Taylor vs Hopkins and Pavlik vs Taylor had nothing to do with Hopkins vs Pavlik

    and so on and so forth

    Different fights, different fighters, different contexts.

    But i see what hes saying and i agree i wish it was Pac vs Bradley. But im gonna enjoy this fight as clottey is still a top welterweight and i want to see Pac in with someone whos going to take everything he throws and still be there.....

    After Bradley wins a few more fights people will be forced to take notice.... he just needs to wait maybe one more year and he will be undeniable if he keeps winning.

    I don't blame Bradley for talking a bit. He has to do that to satisfy the marketplace and to get his name out there. I don't agree with what he says about the fight, it will be a close tough fight. Pacquiao will win though (just as long as Clottey doesn't KO Pacquiao) no matter what.

    :lol:

    Bradley is getting confident.

    He says just after that he can beat Mayweather, and closed in saying that he was "being real" about that.

    I like Bradley, but he should pipe down in this case.

    I like Bradley as well, and I debated posting this thread because I know this will hurt Tim with Arum, and certain fangroups.

    The truth is the truth. Either way.

    don't bend over backwards like Shane Mosley did.

    Roach likes Bradley, that's a good thing. I think Bradley will get his shot.

    Pac vs Bradley is the fight that made more sense, since he's undefeated, the man at 140, and Roach is still claiming that Pac's best weight is 135-140. It would have done more for Pac's legacy. Clottey is coming off a loss, and stylistically is easier for Pac than Bradley, imo. It's just a way for Arum to make more money with Pac vs. Clottey, nothing more.
