    Thanks, mate. I respect you as a poster too. :thumbsup

    I would make Pacquiao the favourite, one has to (i hope the bookies make him a big favourite too as i would be laying down a bit of moolah).

    I just think Bradley has what it takes to win this type of fight (I'd make him slightly better than a live underdog, for me it would be 55/45 overall in Pacquiao's favour).

    But if i looked at it purely as a stylistic match-up. I think it's 50/50. I'll give my reasons if the fight is signed.

    I think Bradley is ganna suprised people with just how well he can box going backwards (whilst not giving the impression of retreating). We forget he's not primarily a stalker. He boxes brilliently in tight circles and Manny would bring out his counter punching abilities and ring IQ.

    Cheers mate.

    Definite food for thought.

    There's not many "interesting" match-ups out there for the likes of Pac and Mayweather. I like to see these modern greats tested, so good to see a few educated boxing fans giving certain guys in and around WW a chance to beat the big two. Makes me think more about my initial thoughts on the subject.:yep

    I don't discount Bradley totally, but I was thinking more 70-30 or 80-20 in favour of Pac, based on a levels arguments, rather than a style one.

    Hope you're having a good Xmas btw.
