    Hopefully it doesn't end up like the Shane or Clottey Fight, although Bradley and the other 2 fighters have something in common.

    I call bull****.

    And if it happens it's an easy fight for Pac, easier than a JMM rematch.

    I like this fight. I think Manny will destroy him and have posted as much in the past, but taking out a prime, unbeaten champion who is the same size as him will still be a good win. And if Bradley's going out, he'll be going out on his shield, fighting with everything he's got. It's not the biggest fight out there for Manny, but it's one that still makes sense. If Manny's got 4 fights left in him, Bradley's done enough to earn one of those spots. JMM has as well, and I'd personally like to see Manny take on both of them before he hangs them up.

    Interesting to note for those who may not remember, but Bradley fought at welterweight early on in his career (along with the Abregu fight) and actually has more fights above 140 than Manny does. His competition there isn't near what Manny's is at WW, of course, but these two are essentially the same size regardless of if the fight gets made at 140 or 147.

    Never gonna happend that would mean bradley would have to get his belts on the line.

    And does it even matter 140-147. Manny cant even make 147 im sure Bradley will come in heavier then pac anyway

    This fight will sell. It's going to do better than Marquez, people aren't going to buy into the Marquez fight. Marquez is already PAST it, if Marquez couldn't beat Pacquiao then he sure as hell isn't going to beat him now. Add that to the fact that Marquez has looked horrible from 135 on.

    Bradley is young, undefeated and will get the support of the African-American crowd. American media will buy this, because he is a perceived threat, and that in itself will sell the fight. This is a good fight to sell.

    if this is true, he's taking on a better fighter in pacquiao for way more money. How can you hate on bradley for that?

    If I'm TopRank I still try to make the Pac-Marquez trilogy for November.

    They can sign Bradley, promise him a future fight with Pacquiao, and then put him on the undercard of Pac-JMM III or something to get him more exposure.

    Matters for two reasons. 1)it'd be great to see pac as challenger again. 2)brad is the best lww in the world not ww

    If this fight happens, it will happen because Golden Boy is trying to block JMM-Pac III.

    So, in that scenario, Pac fights Bradley then Pac-JMM is moved to early 2012.

    Golden Boy can match any offer to JMM until February 2012. If you're Top Rank, then, you make a stay-busy fight for Pac until you can lock up the JMM fight. This sounds like part of that plan. And it's a good fight, even if Bradley doesn't have big marketability.

    Bradley or Marquez I don't care already. The only fight that is worth it is Floyd/Pac but Floyd is waiting for that right moment ala SRL/Hagler for Pac to show weakness! But as you can see who is getting for who to get old (not age wise but ring wise) Pac has fought ODLH, Cotto, Margarito, Clottey, Hatton, and Mosley in the past about 2 1/2 years. Floyd has fought Mosley and Marquez in about the same time frame. :patsch

    I wouldn't call trying to fight the P4P #1 and the man to beat at WW a ****ing duck for not fighting an Over Hyped kHAN who has not fought anyone Mcloseky? Paulie? Oh he survived with Maidana running and pot shotting like a little ***** so KHAN is the best at 140... Please

    Bradley has earned his right. He is the man at 140 and can do what he pleases...


    Anyways, I doubt it. It wouldn't be confirmed this fast... Khan is just pointing out what all of us assume Bradley is trying to do... wait on PACQUIAO and see if he can land the fight if JMM is a no go.
