    Pac-Bradley is a mismatch. But I'd still like to see it simply for Pac to show people how crazy it is that there's a contingent of fans who thinks he's ducking Tim.

    I've posted alot of good about Bradley in the past few months, but not as it relates to a matchup with Pac, and here's why:

    There is nothing Bradley does that is better than what we've already seen Pac crush and he holds no physical advantages over Pacquiao. Tim's an average sized 140 fighter with average power, good skills and speed, and an assload of heart. That recipe, vs Manny Pacquiao, results in the receiving of a brutal beating because Tim doesn't have the reach, footwork, or counter punching skills to do what a Floyd Mayweather could do to Manny. He's at a speed disadvantage. He's at a power disadvantage. He gets hit. And, he's at a skill disadvantage.

    Taking that fight now would **** up Bradley bigtime, and those who don't look at it objectively like that because they're propping up Bradley as the guy who's being ducked and could take Manny ought to. What would Bradley have done against Hatton, Cotto, and Clottey? Would he have won all 3 fights? Would he have outclassed the three of them losing maybe 3 rounds in the process? Manny's proved he's a cut above that caliber of fighter. Tim hasn't shown he's even at that level yet consistently, although he could well turn into that.

    Bradley needs a couple more quality wins before people lead him into the gallows like that. Manny would carve him up right now.

    I love to see you guys defend this. You guys are making the exact same arguments FMJ makes but the fighters mentioned don't even seem to be as dangerous! Paul Williams/Margarito versus Tim Bradley/Devon Alexander.

    Somehow now the argument holds water? WTH...

    That is an ignorant comparison when every five minutes Team Pac is complaining about forcing Manny to eat. Drop down and get it on.

    He would rather sit at WW fighting in camp fighters who won't drug test him.

    That's how it goes. Many on here will tell you that Mayweather ducked Williams to fight Baldo. This despite the fact that Williams was still a prospect at that time and even fought on the undercard of the Mayweather/Baldo fight. I've also heard that Mayweather ducked Vernon Forrest to fight Hoya. This is course laughable. Forrest was on the comeback trail from a two year layoff and had come off a controversial decision over Quartey. It's all part of the sport.

    these are just the fighters mentioned, doesn't mean any of them will happen. When I hear of "possible" fights coming out of Arum's mouth, I tend not to believe it.

    Mayweather should be the only choice for Pacs next opponent. I dont want to hear other names if not Floyd.
