    They kinda both suck, but between the two I rather see Pac finally fight a black American fighter lol.

    Both should be fairly one-sided (Pac-Bradley less so), but there's no question which will be more exciting. Pacquiao-Bradley likely ends in a nice, little knockout while Mayweather-Alvarez will just be an uneventful shutout.

    Won't lie, I'm a Boxing fan so I'll watch both.

    I'd of rathered Pacquaio vs Marquez and Floyd vs Cotto/Martinez.

    Floyd Alvarez would be another one-sided sparring session.


    Pac - Bradley I expect to be a one-sided beatdown.

    I actually think Pacquiao-Bradley will be competitive. I don't know why this fight is being seen as such a mismatch. Bradley has some very good wins over top level previously undefeated fighters like Alexander, Peterson and Abregu... Plus Pacquiao has shown decline in his last 2 fights struggling with Mosley, and getting outclassed at times by Marquez.

    Mayweather-Alvarez will probably be a lopsided decision. Floyd will counter Canelo all night long.

    after this fight they will all say pac is back only reason he looked bad against mosley is he used lateral movement and not stood in front of him (basically ran from him)and marquez is just a bad style match up for him im predicting a great performance and stoppage from pac

    I like both. I think they would be the best possible matches for boxing fans.

    Alvarez has a better chance of beating Mayweather than Cotto does. A

    And Bradley v Pacquaio will be more competitive than anyone else apart from Marquez, and we've seen that 3 times already.

    Bradley was promised a crack at Pacquiao, I think he will be hungry for the W, unlike a Mosley or Clottey who were just after a payday.

    bradley is a true champion and p4p, alvarez is a paper champ defending against people not ranked in the top 20

    Both are interesting. Alvarez is bigger then Floyd, and could cause him problems given Floyds decent but not spectacular power. And he's not without skill.


    Bradley is interesting because Pacquiao hasnt fought a guy who can match him in quickness probably his entire career. Plus Bradley's team will have a decent blueprint.

    Pacquiao-Bradley is a better fight. Should be a good scrap. I think it'll be competitive.
