I don't see it being much of an issue if it's at 147 to be honest. Pac's not a big welter who's going to blow up to to high 150s after weigh in - he'll weigh 145. It just means Bradley doesn't have to worry about about cutting off that last bit off weight. I'd expect him to out weigh Pac on fight night
Bradley showed a lot of heart in that fight, but against Pac he might literally show us a piece of his mind. He should start writing his epitaph if the fight is made, hopefully something catchy and original.
wow, an intelligent poster on these forum im allmost in shock And, I toally agree shaun. Doesnt matter since Pacquio is a small ww. I actually think if im not mistaken Bradley came in heavier vs Alexander then Manny came in vs Marg on fight night
I would favor Pac to win this, but Bradley could present some real problems on the inside. It would be better than the Mosley Matchup, thats for sure...
Bradley is a better fight. To be honest, I think he's a more versatile fighter than Mosley has ever been. I also think he fights better coming foward and off the back foot PFP. His only problem is that he lacks power. If Bradley had power, he would be damn near unstoppable. This is a great fight, but I would much rather see him against Mayweather...which actually wouldn't be a very exciting fight.
I really like this fight. Its about time Pac fight a young hungry fighter. Dont be fooled by Bradley he has good enough pop to get Pacs respect and he is pretty cagey for a younger guy. Also expect this one to be bloody. Pac rushes in as it is and tends to headbutt. Now Bradley does the same thing but has very good skin so i expect Pac to be cut from a headbutt in this fight and then its going to get interesting. Pac doesnt deal well with cuts. He either rushes for the KO making mistakes or can be shaken up like in the JMM II fight. Props to Pac if he takes this fight. Its about time he gives a young lion a chance.
just from pac's point of view, it's better to beat a LWW champion than to defend a WW crown against a LWW.
yeah i have no issues about competitiveness etc. I just think it benefits pac more to beat the number 1 LWW than to defend against a guy from a lower division.
