    By the way, Pac's first choice was to fight Void. Roach tried to get Void to fight Pac right after Pac stopped Hatton in the second round, but Void refused, so he fought Cotto. Cotto beat Mosely.

    I think Clottey's bouts with Margo/Judah and Cotto have made him much more of a household name than Bradley, irrespective of their weight rankings. I mean, Hatton's much more of a household name than Bradley, yet I'm sure you'll find he's lower down in the rankings.

    Fighting either Floyd/Pac would be a bad move for Bradley. It's still early days in his career, and he hasn't the experience of competing at a p4p level. There are other big fights out ther to be made for him, fights which will not only bolster his attributes/experience as a boxer, but also contribute to his marketability (which we all know happens to be the larger contributing factor when it comes to Pac/May signing fights).

    I think 90% of people know what I'm on about anyway...

    Cotto is one of the biggest names in boxing too so its the same point. I didn't mention him cause he's says he's left the WW division.

    Highlighted for the truth!

    I see what Bradley is saying but he needs to be patient keep mopping up 140 and then go for Pac man if that's what he wants!

    Joshua better prove us all wrong and put in a stella performance Saturday!

    Pac V Bradley would sell more ppv than Clottey. Bradley is an unbeaten champion who is the number 1 in the 140 division. They could have built up this fight even more.

    I think Pac would knock Bradley, so by no means am I saying Bradley could win.

    That being said, the truth is that Bradley at this current moment is a bigger name than Clottey and this ain't even that debatable.

    Pac's first pick was Void. Roach tried to get Void to fight Pac right after Pac knocked Hatton out, but Void refused, they, as everyone knows, tried to get Void into a ring again after Pac stopped Cotto. I was impressed with Pac's win over Cotto. Cotto beat Mosley.

    Bradley said that Alexander was "very underrated" before the fight.

    Alexander said that Bradley vacated his WBC belt cause he didn't wanna fight him.

    What's the joke? Clottey is the next best welterweight in the world after Cotto (Pac already beat) and Mayweather and Mosley (already tied up with each other). What's wrong with Pac wanting to take on the best 147 pounders around?

    i absolutely understand your point. however, pac needed to fight a welterweight because he still knows the negotiations with mayweather will ahppena again down the line. beating a really good fighter at 140 would make less impact than beating a top 5 welter.

    Mayweather and mosley was not already tied up when pac choose to fight clottey.
