IF Pacquiao wins in spectacular fashion against Bradley, would you give him credit?

    Hatton at least fought at 147lbs before he faced Floyd.

    Not criticizing Pac. If we're using Floyd-Hatton as a benchmark, I would have been more impressed if Floyd fought Hatton at 140. As it stood, he fought him at 147. I was impressed but not AS impressed. It is what it is though and Bradley would be a very good win. Especially if there is a KO.

    Oh, I know you wasn't criticizing...I was just using your post to expand on my opinion of the bout because I do agree somewhat. :good

    Skills only help you so far, how do you imagine RJJ vs Lewis would have looked, eventhough RJJ also had better skills there ;)

    What does star power have anything to do with credit?

    Mosley was a star, what credit did Pac deserve for that?

    That **** drives me crazy around here. Esp. when concerning Bradley.

    It's all good, Bradley is about to have a starring role in the "soap opera". Check in a couple months and after the fight, it'll seem unreal that Bradley was so "little liked" when we look back. :yep

    I would give him a little credit, but not much. I'm not saying that he's a bad fighter, but I don't rate Bradley as high as some others do. He can't punch at 140 and I would imagine that his power would get worse since he's moving up in weight for this fight.

    No probs. On the subject of Bradley being unpopular, wonder how his fanbase would look if he beat Pac? Even if he put in a good showing i think it would do wonders for his popularity.

    Definitely, Arum would throw everything behind Bradley, claiming he was the greatest boxer he had seen since Ali, SRL, etc.

    Yup. Bradley is a solid former top-ten pound-for-pound fighter, the most accomplished at 140lbs, and more than competent at 147.

    Yes of course. But it won't happen because Pac is declining.
