    maybe bradley wants to fight at welterweight, maybe he wants a second division title in his collection.... either weight, bradley has the tools to dismantle him.... if he doesnt get caught up in the spotlight

    Pac is going to catch Bradley coming in with a right hook like he did with Hatton. Bradley is FAR too primitive on the inside and Pac is going to catch him.

    Holt nearly took Bradley's head off a couple times.

    bradley never should of gotten up from that shot from Holt....that was SICK.

    well, while pac is the favorite...i'm going against the grain and picking Bradley.... pac doesnt give a **** about fighting anymore, but no way does pac knock bradley out..

    Cherry pick over who, ****? You dont even know what a cherry pick is.


    Those who are saying Pac is dragging Bradley up are pretty stupid , considering Bradley is most likely going to outweigh Pac on fight night.

    Shane Mosley - 38 years old after he was obviously faded..
    Antonio Margacheato- Stands right in front of you with no movement..
    ODLH- Hadn't fought in 2 years and hadn't fought at 147lbs in dam near a decade....

    mosley - shot to ****. you are right.

    margarito
    2001 Pac - IBF super bantamweight title 118 pounds
    2001 Margarito - WBO welterweight champion 147 pounds
    now 2010 and instead of a slaughter...its an easy fight for the former bantam weight champ :lol:

    do you see abner mares the current bantam champ beating up andre berto in a few years?

    ODLH- who incidentally was FAVORED, who called pac out and said he would fight him at that weight. a guy that fought for the middleweight title and was doing well before kod by hopkins gets ripped to shreds by a former 112 pound champ....and yet ..pac cherry picked this! hahahaha...WOW

    Margarito was finished as a top level fighter and exposed. Brutally beat down by a past prime Shane Mosley. So it was safe for Pac to go in there because Shane showed that even a faded fighter with enough speed and power and distance can whip him. And, although I'm not sure how much of an issue it was, but without his cement hands, Margarito was more limited in danger. Fighting for a jrMW title at a catchweight makes it even worse and should have been slammed harder by the boxing community. First, if you want to fight for a title, fight at the proper weight requirements/limits. Second, fight a real Champion and/or legit #1 fighter that has fought in that division for a while.

    And Pac was a 147+ pounder at that point. He had grown since then. If you want to bring up where he was back then, then be prepared for people to question how this "little man" suddenly thickened all around because its people that bring up where he used to be that continues this debate of HGH/PED use instead of thinking of other means of natural growth.


    Oscar: Oscar was favored because it was "OSCAR DE LA HOYA." people are all to reminded of the past instead of what is currently going on.

    I could care less if Oscar agreed to the weight because he had not fought there in YEARS. This wasn't the MW Oscar that fought Hopkins. Actually, OK...let's run with this. So Pac fought a MW at WW. Yeah, That's an easy task to make weight and won't have any harm done. Dead at its best. What a challenge.

    History has shown us, like Roach has said he counted on and listed name after name afterwards, that Old fighters moving back down in weight is unhealthy. He also thought Oscar was fading as a fighter from his personal tour with him. Roach used history (which people forget or don't bother to learn) and personal one on one time with Oscar to make his choice on playing the odds.
    And it proved to be true. Oscar destroyed his body. He was walking around at 147 (or less).

    People act like Pacquiao is this monstrous underdog against Oscar. The odds were only 2-1.

    If you believe a guy that has fought at WW for 3 years while during that span forcing a LW and a JWW to come up to WW to fight him, I would lump you in the category of very, very foolish people on this forum...

    Great fight. I expect Bradley to be at least as big as Pacquiao on fight night. They're the same height, I think, and Bradley has longer reach.

    Finally, an unbeaten American who isn't afraid of stepping into the ring with Pacquiao. It's about time.
