Definitely Berto has shown more imposing than Bradley when looking at Bradley's one 147-pound fight. Absolutely no argument there. But, on the other hand, imposing doesn't seem to work well on Pacquiao and I want to see him against the better fighter with smarter athleticism and defense, which I think is all Bradley. I agree Berto is faster. His speed is the only thing about him that I consider elite. And granted, I don't think Bradley has proven to be a great fighter (though I hope one day he will while outright assuming Berto won't), I think he's the better scalp and hardcore fans would rather see that fight...I think. I mean, rather that if the Mayweather fight isn't possible.

Uh, yeah, I'd say people knew Joshua Clottey pretty well after the rather large event of the Cotto fight though. Clottey had faced Cotto, Margarito, Baldomir, Judah and Corrales by the time he faced Pacquiao. He was a name who had faced a lot of big names. Come on. Bradley hasn't faced that many name fighters.
If Bradley earns the fight it would be a good fight for Pacquiaos legacy. It might even be fight of the year as they both have the fight style for an entertaining fight. The problem is not enough people know Bradley yet. Bradley would be like another fight with Clottey. This might be good enough money but it's not like Mayweather, Martinez or Williams.
Bradley needs to build his career first... i dont think he's ready for the #1p4p just yet. He'd get brutalized.
No order aside from 1-2... 1. Mayweather 2. JMM III @ 140 Berto Mosley Bradley Alexander Cotto II I was being objective. People just give Mayweather tons of **** for fighting Hatton, a junior welter, and for fighting Marquez at 147. Funny that Roach insists now that if Marquez wants III with Pac, he'd have to do it at full 147. And the other possible fights are Mosley, another opponent whom Mayweather has just beaten down, like Oscar and Hatton were, and Bradley, a junior welter.
Bradley's punching power is too weak, he is like Paulie Malignaggi in this respect, Pacquiao would destroy Bradley. Berto would be a more interesting match up, as would Alexander, but I don't see either having what it takes to beat Pac. Mayweather is the only real challenge at 147 and below.
Roach has been pretty clear for quite some time now that Pac's not going to be fighting below welterweight, and honestly, 147 or 140 makes no difference in a fight with JMM. Both of those weights are too big for him. The only way that fight is competitive, imho, is at LW, and Manny's definitely not going back down there. I think the only fight that matters for Manny's legacy is PBF. Sure, he can go down and clean out 140 but is there really anyone there that you see being competitive with him? I don't.
Bradley is not suited for 147. fighting him at 147 would be a Mayweather thing to do. Berto is flat footed and his best skill set is athleticism but that alone will fall way short in a bout with Manny.
LMAO arum would LOL his ass off... Bradley makes no $$$$$ its either cotto 2. mosely or JMM the big money makers.... when you combine pac and a known name ARUM wants that moooola cash moonneyyy
Bradley would beat Pacquaio. He's way too fast, technically skilled, and mobile. Great footwork and defensive skills.Pacquaio has neer faced anyone NEAR the speed, mobility, and quickness of Bradley, and these aren't even Bradley's only qualities. In 55+ fights, Pacquaio has never faced a fighter with these qualties, which disgusts me. Bradley UD
delusional... let's see how bradley fares first against an elite fighter before he even considers fighting a certified p4p elite and top 25 ATG in pac. bradley is not even a strong puncher. pac has proven he can take punches from very strong 160+ lbers. and bradley is definitely not faster than pac when it comes to both hand and foot speed especially now that he's moving to 147. bradley also has a suspect chin having been kd'd 3x in a fight by holt who is not even considered as a very strong puncher. his chin definitely won't hold up to pac's punching power which has hurt a 165-lb margarito w/ a very solid chin.
Bradley looks like a tomatoe can at 147. He is small and too bulky and his speed does not translate at all at 147. He looked half the fighter at 147 that he is at 140. Bradley is a great fighter at 140 but you sound ridiculous not to acknowledge a southpaw that has the footwork, heart, angles and speed and walked thru ODLH, Clottey, Margarito and Cotto like they were journeyman is just reatarded.
